Colgate-Palmolive Company Unveils New Optic White Pro Series Toothpaste Colgate Optic White announced the launch of its latest innovation, the NEW Colgate Optic White Pro Series Toothpaste. As an evolution of the original formula, it is clinically proven to achieve visibly whiter teeth in just three days. Powered by Hydrogen Peroxide Complex, Colgate's unique formulation of hydrogen peroxide, this toothpaste dissolves 15 years of deep-set stains when brushing twice daily for two weeks. The Colgate Optic White Pro Series Toothpaste is designed to remove both surface-level and deep-set stains – reaching where your toothbrush can't and whitening teeth from the inside out. Surface-level stains are discolorations found on the outer layer of the tooth enamel, while deep-set stains are deeper discolorations within the tooth structure that are traditionally harder to remove. Colgate's Dual Whitening Technology combines the power of micropolishers, which brush away surface stains and help prevent new ones from forming, with Hydrogen Peroxide Complex, which gently dissolves stains below the surface of teeth. With this technology, the formula is specifically engineered to break down stubborn stains that build up over time from daily habits, such as those caused by coffee, tea, and wine. With the introduction of Colgate's proprietary ActivShine Technology, which enhances the brightening and polishing power of the formula, this toothpaste reveals a next-level shine and leaves teeth feeling cleaner and smoother. The new and improved Colgate Optic White Pro Series Toothpaste offers the highest level of hydrogen peroxide in the line at 5%, which starts whitening after the first brush. Designed for no sensitivity and daily use, the enamel safe formula offers an effective whitening solution, all from the comfort of your own home. The NEW Colgate Optic White Pro Series Toothpaste is available now at retailers nationwide, including Walmart, Amazon, and CVS, with an MSRP of $9.99 for a 3 oz. tube. It will be available in three mint flavors and four variants, including Express White, Enamel Renewal, Vibrant Clean, and High Impact White. Announcement • Feb 05
