Sparkling Saline Nasal Spray

Overview

Since some time, Aurena Laboratories AB has introduced the new Sparkling Saline Nasal Spray product portfolio to brand owners around the world. The products offer a unique, refreshing, and invigorating experience among consumers who use nasal sprays.

Sparkling Saline Nasal Spray is a patent-protected technology platform for carbonated saline-based products that can be leveraged across numerous market segments. The Sparkling Saline Spray is a new generation of saline and seawater nasal sprays that are infused with microbubbles that reaches deep into the nasal passages to help reduce congestion and clear the nose.

Sparkling Saline Nasal Spray Features and Benefits

Developed in partnership with Clover Hill Healthcare of the USA, Sparkling Saline uses natural product technology based on advanced and innovative formulations. The product range, which is available for private labeling, allows premium niche marketing based upon the following benefits:

• Superior sensory impact and consumer experience
• Allows for differentiated claims vs. regular saline sprays
• Advanced technology

This is a unique drug-free nasal rinse with clinically proven ingredients of saline and carbon dioxide (CO₂). The patented triple action formula combines saline with the energetic carbonation properties of CO2 to create a revolutionary rinse designed to cleanse, clear congestion and neutralize the effects of inhaled particulates, irritants, and germs.

The available products range is CE-marked as class IIa medical devices and will be applied to consumer products for Allergy, Cold & Cough, Sinus Relief and Daily Nasal Care, where careful formulation with carbon dioxide (CO2) provides a demonstrably better patient experience as well as benefits such as faster and more complete nasal relief.

Features

Carbon Dioxide provides the unique sensory cue for Sparkling Saline. In addition, it enhances the wetting properties of the saline, has disruptive effects on bio-films and thick mucus, and creates a hostile environment for pathogens. In-vitro data supports Sparkling Saline effectiveness in reducing nasal bio-films, a cause of upper respiratory infection, chronic sinusitis, and associated with poor patient outcomes in post-operative recovery.

Sparkling Saline has a lower pH than regular saline, making it more hostile to harmful bacteria and viruses.

Sparkling Saline has superior wetting properties than regular saline due to surface tension changes caused by degassing of carbon dioxide from the saline liquid. Enhanced wetting properties can have a positive effect on mucus thinning as well as clearing of mucus and inhaled debris. In addition, consumers inherently understand that bubbles are intrinsically linked to superior cleansing.

Aurena is responsible for worldwide manufacturing, from its modern FDA-inspected facility in Karlstad, Sweden, where it has opened the world’s first production line for sparkling saline sprays.

Applications

Sparkling Saline can form the basis for a range of ready-developed, market-oriented, CE-Approved products and well-documented products, with short time to market. These products will be unique, patent protected and can be well supported with scientific evidence, regulatory expertise and certification. For US-market the products can initially be classified as cosmetics and for the Canadian market as natural health products.

Product formulations can include:

• Sparkling ringer solution
• Sparkling isotonic saline
• Sparkling hypertonic saline
• Sparkling isotonic natural seawater
• Sparkling hypertonic natural seawater

Benefits

Sparkling Saline is a drug-free natural product technology based on advanced and innovative formulations. Patented status provides protection against generic/store brands and allows premium niche marketing based upon the following benefits:

• Superior sensory impact and consumer experience
• Allows for numerous, differentiated claims vs. regular saline sprays (“works faster to unblock nasal passages”, “provides active cleansing”, and “penetrates deeper”)
• Greater duration of congestion relief than current saline products
• Advanced technology

Aurena welcomes brand owners from around the world to discuss this new opportunity.
