Airspray instant-foam
dispensing technology continues to penetrate new consumer product
categories worldwide, as evidenced by the recent introduction of O-fresh
Toothfoam in the Pacific Rim.Researched and developed in the United States, this product
represents a new concept in total oral hygiene and dental care, and is
marketed as a multi-use product (teeth cleaning, breath freshener and
denture cleaning).
The sole agent for O-fresh, BCF International, has introduced the
brand in Asia, initially in Hong Kong, and is widely distributed in the region’s
leading retail chains, including Watsons, Circle K, and UNY.
The launch underscores the potential for yet other new, instant-foam
oral hygiene products, industry observers believe. In mature categories with
infrequent innovations, such as toothpaste, consumers have responded well
to the introduction of instant foam variants.
The Airspray one-touch mechanical pump used in the new foaming oral
hygiene foams from O-fresh is based upon the mini foamer with a one or two
oz. bottle. The new instant-foam Toothfoam offers consumer value-added in
terms of gentle, deep-cleaning formulation that efficiently washes away
bacteria, freshens breath and provides an enhanced oral hygiene experience.
Previously, Airspray one-touch foamers were used in professional
dental care applications, like professional fluor treatments. The O-fresh
product represents the first consumer-based product in the dental care
market.
