Material & design

More than a backing and an ingredient list.

The gel, backing, ingredient system and package work together. Define how the patch should feel, where it will be worn and what it is intended to do before developing claims.

Water-containing hydrogel

Gel composition and ingredient compatibility are evaluated for the finished patch.

Flexible backing

Material, adhesion and comfort should match the intended area and wear conditions.

Ingredient preferences

Explore plant-based, vegan-compatible, latex-free or paraben-free specifications with documentation.

Release & wear

Release duration, absorption, tolerability and any reuse instructions require product-specific testing.

Product directions

Explore your patch concept.

Collection ideas from our existing range are starting points for discussion—not guarantees of health outcomes or approved claims.

Development & packaging

A clear path from idea to assessment.

01

Define intended use

Discuss customer, application area, wear time, ingredients and desired claims.

02

Assess the system

Review gel and backing, formulation feasibility, samples and compatibility.

03

Plan evidence

Identify stability, skin-contact safety and performance studies needed for the intended claims.

04

Prepare the package

Discuss protective packaging, labels, directions, production and quality requirements.

Evidence & intended use

Claims come after the evidence.

Finished-product stability and packaging compatibility

Skin-contact safety and biocompatibility where applicable

Product-specific release and absorption studies for delivery claims

Regulatory review for medical, therapeutic and transdermal uses

A hydrogel material alone does not prove bloodstream delivery, vitamin supplementation, pain relief or sleep benefits. Medical-grade, hypoallergenic, time-release and reusable claims need applicable documentation and finished-product evaluation.
