Publication number: 20250367081Abstract: A single-dose oral hygiene unit of a toothpaste composition is blended together using a method of manufacturing disclosed herein. The oral hygiene units define an outer surface that is easily manipulated with a user's fingers. The ingredients are first blended together to create a final, blended toothpaste composition. A predetermined weight of blended toothpaste composition is extruded via nozzles into a plurality of cavities defined in a mold tray. The mold tray containing blended toothpaste composition is refrigerated for a predetermined time at a predetermined temperature until the blended toothpaste composition solidifies and the single-dose oral hygiene units are formed. The units may undergo a coating process whereby the outer surface of each unit is coated with an ingredient that prevents one or more units from sticking to one another or the container in which the units are placed and dispensed from.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2024Publication date: December 4, 2025Applicant: Poppits LLCInventors: WAYNE R.
