[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Dong-A Pharmaceutical announced on the 22nd that it has renewed and launched three types of eco-friendly packaged Garglin for children (apple, strawberry, bubble gum).


The newly changed Garglin for children features eco-friendly elements such as in-mold labels that are easy to recycle. The in-mold label reduces adhesive chemicals on the product, making the label easy to remove. In addition, the tear-off mark is visualized so that consumers can remove the label to increase the recycling rate. Dong-A Pharmaceutical also made the container holding Garglin transparent in 2019.


Along with this, to emphasize the importance of protecting endangered animals, designs featuring a total of nine endangered species, including the Asiatic black bear and the Blakiston's fish owl, were incorporated. A portion of future sales proceeds will be used as a fund for endangered species protection.


Garglin for children is an oral rinse exclusively for children first introduced by Dong-A Pharmaceutical in 2009, consisting of three flavors: apple, strawberry, and bubble gum. Garglin for children is effective in preventing cavities and eliminating bad breath, and it does not contain tar pigments or alcohol.


Additionally, to satisfy consumers' right to know, Dong-A Pharmaceutical indicated the fluoride content on Garglin for children and obtained the Ttuntteuni Mark, which is awarded to products contributing to oral health projects.



Kang Ju-yeop, BM of Dong-A Pharmaceutical, said, “We made it possible for children using Garglin to indirectly learn about protecting oral health and endangered animals,” adding, “We will continue to apply eco-friendly elements in product development to participate in realizing social value.”
