Introduction

First Conference on Toothpaste Innovations Offers a New Platform for Industry Exchange

Entitled THE HEALTHY BITE, an inaugural summit for industry professionals engaged in dental hygiene applications will be held on 23rd of May in Lucerne, Switzerland. This event recognises the ever-growing market for oral care products, triggered by consumer demand for highly specialised and holistic solutions. Those present will include manufacturers and formulators, as well as sales and marketing managers. Hosting the event is Omya, a global supplier of mineral ingredients. The company has observed an increasing number of inquiries from clients looking for new and exciting innovations to advance formulations. Such demand is the motivation behind THE HEALTHY BITE. The company has documented several years of testing with external, highly experienced research laboratories and universities. Although this knowledge is shared with partners while developing future-proof applications, until now there has been no suitable platform for focused exchange between scientists, formulators and manufacturers. As investment in science and R&D is a fundamental pillar of the company’s strategy, Omya decided to start a forum, bringing together different aspects of the industry, enabling debate and exchanging ideas.
