What makes a great pouch?
It’s about getting it “just right” with attention to science and detail. From selecting the right pouch paper to choosing the optimal form of nicotine – be it base, salt, or polacrilex – we ensure a formulation that delivers the desired nicotine release, whether immediate or long and slow, or both.
Stability is key to prevent colouration from oxidation and unexpected odours caused by ingredient reactions. Finding the perfect balance of flavour and sweetness tailored to the target market is crucial. Our flavours are developed specially for nicotine pouches, not for food or vapes.
We ensure the moisture level is just right – not too dry, yet not too wet to avoid stickiness in the mouth. Pouches that are the right size and weight and well-sealed to prevent leakage. We call it “the three bears approach” – a mix of absolutes and compromises.
