Can oral care really embrace wellness? YES! We’re noticing housework being reframed as a daily reset and the big weekend clean as a weekly reset. A boomer would never have that perspective, but Gen Z and millennials do, so oral care MUST lean into this mindset and opportunity. After all, brushing your teeth before bed is an end-of-day reset.
Welcome to a world where everything can be wellness!

For the neuro-diverse population – those on the autism spectrum – the world can be a loud and overwhelming place. And when we think about flavour, we’re often thinking bigger, more impactful flavours. But does it have to be this way?
In this episode we explore the allure of quiet in an increasingly noisy world, and we discover that the appeal of quiet is relevant to a wider audience than you might imagine. Quiet is an underplayed but essential component of wellbeing that is poised to transform new product development.

In this episode we’re diving into a future opportunity for oral care: supplements. The global dietary and beauty supplements market is projected to grow to US$ 128 billion by 2028 and we expect oral care to take a chunk out of that pie, to be part of a total system of oral wellbeing that includes nutrition.

In the US, 1 in 12 people take sleep medicines on a regular basis. Today we’re talking about sleep and oral care because we brush our teeth before we go to bed, so it’s the perfect opportunity to support consumers in their quest for rest. We discuss how we can borrow from the beauty and wellness worlds which offer different products for different sleep needs and we even get inspired by a vaping device.

Your mouth could have up to 20 billion (!) bacteria – and that’s good news as long as the balance and diversity is right. In this episode we’re explaining and exploring the opportunities for oral care and the microbiome.
Our understanding of the importance of those bacteria, and those in and on our bodies is growing every day. Everyone will have noticed a boom in probiotic food and beverages in their supermarket. The mouth is also part of the gut – and with so much visibility and chatter about the gut biome, oral healthcare must expand to include the biome and not only focus on cavity protection and fresh breath.

Oral care is severely compromised when we stay in bed sipping sticky cough syrups and tea with honey to soothe our sore throats and aching bodies. What role can oral care play to help us feel better? Are there formats that are better suited for in-bed oral hygiene (spoiler alert, it could be mouth-spray).
In the US, it’s estimated that 29 million people had flu symptoms in the 2018/’19 flu season. Supposing only 25% of these sufferers took to their beds for two days, then we have a seasonal market in the US alone (with two oral care occasions per day) of 29 million uses. Listen in to learn more about this white space opportunity.

In this episode we’re inspired by candles and candies! The shape of candles and candies triggered a discussion about mouthfeel and the possibilities of a variety of shapes for solid oral care formats. This in turn led us to questioning the impact of the sound of an electric toothbrush on flavour perceptions – a truly multi-sensory episode. Finally we take a look at two concrete examples and what they could inspire for oral care new product development: Hot chocolate bombs and crackling mousses. Crackling or fizzing could signal anti-bacterial effects, for example. Warming could potentially signal therapeutic benefits and would be a game changer for this category.
