INNOVATION

Development and manufacturing partner for external innovation in oral care

ORALABX works with R&D, external innovation and partnership teams — from early technical assessment through prototype, evaluation and commercial supply.

Where we contribute
Most manufacturing partners are engaged after the specification is final. We are set up to be useful earlier than that.
01
Before the specification is fixed

Feasibility input on formats, actives and processing constraints, so that the specification is written against what can actually be manufactured and shipped.

02
Reformulation of an existing product

Alcohol removal, preservative system changes, flavour and sensory rebuilding, cost-structure reconstruction, or transfer into a different format.

03
New format development

Taking a defined consumer occasion — travel, post-meal, away from the sink — and building the product, the dose and the pack around it.

04
Qualified commercial supply

Taking an already-defined product into validated, documented and repeatable production.

Scope
Clear boundaries save screening time. This is what we take on, and what we do not.
IN SCOPE
Mouthwash and oral rinses
Toothpaste and gels
Breath sprays and oral mists
Unit-dose sachets, stick packs and travel formats
Alcohol-free and low-alcohol systems
Mineral, zinc and xylitol systems
Flavour and sensory reconstruction
Cosmetic-pathway documentation support
OUT OF SCOPE

US OTC drug products

Ingredient or active discovery

Standalone formulation licensing or IP transfer

Devices, electronics and diagnostics

Bulk liquid and semi-finished supply — we supply finished, packaged, export-ready goods only
Own-brand products sold into our customers' markets
Technical platforms

These are the areas where we hold working experience rather than general capability.

Zinc Alcohol-Free Systems

Zinc Citrate + Xylitol is the primary alcohol-free development direction. Zinc PCA is evaluated only when a defined project brief and target-market pathway support it.

PAP Suspension Systems

PAP suspension development focuses on dispersion control, appearance, sensory balance, stability observation and packaging compatibility before commercial scale-up.

Controlled Low-Peroxide Systems

Controlled low-peroxide development uses an established commercial formula route, with flavor adjustment and removal of non-essential flavor components evaluated without changing the core system.

On-the-go formats and dosing

Spray dosing and atomiser selection, single-use sachet and stick-pack filling, and travel pack sizes designed for use away from a sink.

Sensory and flavour reconstruction

Flavour systems for high-humectant and alcohol-free bases, where a flavour that performs in a standard base will not transfer directly.

How a project runs
Concept and technical alignment

We confirm what is technically and commercially possible before development starts, including regulatory pathway, format limits and packaging constraints.

Formulation development

Two to three directions are usually developed in parallel rather than one, so the decision is made on comparison.

Prototype sampling

Prototype samples for internal evaluation, followed by a revision round against structured feedback.

Technical evaluation and optimisation

Stability, compatibility and applicable third-party testing before any commitment to production.

Commercial scale-up
Documented, repeatable manufacturing under our quality management system.

Technical assessment → prototype sampling → structured evaluation → 10,000+ units per SKU commercial manufacturing when qualified.

Development, testing and manufacturing stages can be scoped separately within a commercial development programme.

Ownership

Project-specific formulation rights and exclusivity arrangements are agreed as part of the commercial programme. ORALABX retains its pre-existing technical know-how, development platforms, manufacturing methods and other background IP. Ownership boundaries are defined before development begins rather than assumed afterwards.

Confidentiality

We do not publish client names, brands or project details, including for completed work. Any case material on this site is anonymised.

Anonymous processes

We are used to working with intermediaries who cannot disclose the end client during screening, and we do not require disclosure in order to respond to a technical brief.

Manufacturing and scale
Manufacturing

Commercial mouthwash and breath spray production is executed by the designated Fujian production facility. Formula consulting, development support, sample execution, commercial manufacturing and document issuance are confirmed separately for each project.

Oral care capacity

Liquid oral-care capacity is planned against qualified project scope. Toothpaste concepts are evaluated separately and require confirmation of the licensed manufacturing route before any production commitment.

Standard MOQ
10,000 units per SKU for qualified commercial production
Lead time

Approximately 45–60 calendar days after formula, packaging, artwork, deposit and production requirements are confirmed.

Export

North America is our largest export market, with additional supply to Europe and the UK, the Middle East and Australia.

Send us a non-confidential brief

If you are screening partners for a defined need, a short written brief is enough to get a substantive answer. You do not need to identify your client, and no NDA is required for an initial discussion.

oem@oralabx.com

We reply in writing within three business days, including when the answer is that the need falls outside our scope.
