Crealy Great Adventure Park founder Angela Wright has launched a new product in the competitive mouthwash and teeth whitening market.

After a family member had to have four teeth pulled at just age 4, Anglea was horrified. She knew his parents were diligent and made sure his teeth were being brushed and flossed regularly, but like many kids, it just wasn’t enough to prevent irreparable tooth decay.

She said: “Around the same time I was also researching teeth whitening solutions for myself, but as I aspire to live a predominantly organic lifestyle, I’m quite conscious of the...
