What is the Sensory Toothpaste trend?
Sensory Toothpaste: Child-centric and medical-grade personal care brands are launching foam toothpastes. Available with and without flavors, these toothpastes are less abrasive, which is more comfortable for many children with sensory-related challenges, while not having to sacrifice any cleaning effectiveness.
Insight
The consumer insight behind the Sensory Toothpaste trend
Parents raising children with conditions that require extra care, whether physical, mental, or otherwise, quickly learn how difficult it is to find the proper product for their children's needs. These parents are used to shopping online, whether from large marketplaces or individual brands, as many big box stores do not carry special needs items, such as special diet foods or clothes without certain fabrics or dyes. Brands knowledgable of this space are launching sensory toothpastes for kids.
