Symrise Oral Care
ORAL CARE

ORAL CARE

A fresh, clean taste and feel has been a hallmark of our boundary-breaking success in the oral care category for over five decades. More than a flavor, it’s health and wellness, comfort and confidence from the first moment of the day to the last.

For over 50 years we’ve been leaders in the realm of mint research and captives, creating appealing flavors and further sensory solutions that trigger sensory experiences and positive emotions — in effect, shifting oral care to something invigorating and enjoyable. We carefully listen to consumers, targeting them on an emotional level, in order to develop solutions that meet product and brand requirements as well as consumer preferences, globally and cross-generationally.

More than 80% of our work is accomplished with our own raw materials, making the most of industry leading backward integration via Menthol, Anethol, Carvone and Cooling compounds. Moreover, our innovation pipeline is bringing even newer cooling agents and other advanced flavor technologies as well as research into solutions for the future.

For more than three decades, Symrise has been challenging the boundaries of scientific reality in providing creative flavor solutions, under the Optamint® brand name. Some of our refreshing technologies include:

  • Optacool® — Cooling compounds consisting of various cooling substances and in-house developments
  • Optabreeze® — Developed to help clear up nasal passages and increase flavor intensity.
  • Optafresh® — Engineering the sensorial into the beneficial, this combats the bacteria that cause bad breath via selective inhibition.
  • Optaflow® — Encourages saliva production, thereby providing improved mouthfeel and supporting base and flavor performance.
  • Optaguard™ — Supports product preservation by an intelligent selection of aroma molecules, fitting a preferred flavor profile. 
  • Optaburst™ — Specifically designed to give a “pop“ to the overall use experience, it’s an extremely interesting cue of efficacy for non-alcoholic mouthwash solutions.
