Stick Pack

Cosmetic product — Mouthwash Licensing-out: oral liquid stick-pack formulation

Addressing evolving oral hygiene usage

Mouthwash usage is evolving toward more portable and individualized formats.
Multi-dose bottles remain suitable for home use but present several limitations:

  • difficult transport
  • approximate dosing
  • risk of contamination after opening
  • limited suitability for sampling or clinical trials

In this context, brands are seeking ready-to-use, hygienic, and easily distributable presentations.

An opportunity for differentiation and market access

The single-dose format enables:

  • new distribution channels (travel retail, patient kits, dental practices)
  • product trial campaigns
  • improved compliance
  • line extension without major reformulation

The solution developed by Unither

Unither has developed a ready-to-use mouthwash solution packaged in a single-dose stick-pack.

Objective: ensure accurate dosing and facilitate on-the-go use

 

Key characteristics

  • Volume: 10 mL single dose
  • Shelf life: 24 months
  • Configurations: 6 to 30 sticks per box
  • Barrier properties adapted to the formulation
