SUNSTAR is a publicly traded group with annual sales of US$1 billion, and the company covers four major areas, with oral care being its core area and ranking second in the Japanese market. Quanshikang is one of its most prestigious oral care brands, positioned as "prevention and treatment of periodontal disease", and has a good reputation in the Japanese mouthwash market, ranking first in oral care brand sales.
There are not many varieties of Quanshikang mouthwash, but the product segmentation is clear, including daily and night periodontal care mouthwash for adults, professional mouthwash for children, and periodontal vitality mouthwash for gum restoration. All Shikang mouthwashes are alcohol-free formulas, except for children's mouthwashes, other products are the usual mint flavor, which is cool but not spicy in the mouth, and feels fresh for a long time after rinsing. It is worth mentioning that it is not recommended to rinse the mouth with water after gargling to avoid reducing the effect of use.
Quanshikang Periodontal Care Mouthwash is a daily preventive type, containing a variety of active ingredients such as CPC, benzalchloramine and dipotassium glycyrrhizate, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and the active ingredients remain in the oral cavity and can continue to care for the oral cavity. In addition, it can maintain the balance of the periodontal microenvironment and reduce plaque, so it is recommended to use it after waking up to brush your teeth or after meals. The nighttime special model is a periodontal night care mouthwash, which not only contains CPC antibacterial ingredients, but also adds coagulant acid, which helps to reduce gum bleeding.
The use of thromboic acid in toothpaste has caused controversy in China, thrombic acid has hemostatic effect and is a prescription drug, which is not included in the prohibited ingredients of the national "Specification for Raw Materials for Toothpaste", but it should be managed according to prescription drugs. However, in Japan, thrombin has long been allowed to be added to toothpaste, so it can be found in Lion King and Quanshikang mouthwashes. If the bleeding gums are a serious problem, it is recommended not to rely too much on this type of mouthwash, which can only improve to some extent and may worsen the oral problem if not treated in time.
In addition to containing the universal antibacterial ingredient CPC, it also contains a professional medical ingredient - pyridoxine HCI, which can activate cell regeneration and help repair damaged gums and periodontal tissue, and the tocopherol nicotinate in the formula makes the mouthwash adhesive, which can make the active ingredient act on the gums for a long time, which is a blessing for those with sensitive gums.
Quanshikang not only performs better in adult periodontal care, but also performs well in its children's mouthwash. Miffy Children's Mouthwash is designed for children, and the product positioning is the same as Lion King Children's Mouthwash, focusing on antibacterial and fluoride-free formula. The product is formulated to be safe and gentle, with no added alcohol and foaming agents, and can be used by children under 6 years old.
For most brands of mouthwashes, the ingredients in the formula determine the price, and GSCON is no exception. Periodontal vitality mouthwash is slightly more expensive, 420mL is sold for about 148 yuan, which is about twice as much as day and night care mouthwash, while the children's bottle is 250mL and the unit price is 39 yuan.
