The cranberry plant bursts with a naturally beautiful red berry that has a tart taste. Even though it’s most commonly thought of as a fruit, the cranberry has become a whole lot more. It's no surprise that we chose cranberry extract as a key ingredient in all our clinically proven Burt's Bees® Natural Toothpaste formulas. Recently, scientists discovered that cranberries contain powerful antioxidant nutrients called proanthocyanidins (PACs).

Studies suggest that cranberry extract may help to slow down certain plaque-causing bacteria from sticking to teeth. Cranberry extract is also known to contain powerful antioxidants.

We use cranberry in some of our toothpastes, body bars and scrubs.
