Onnuri Store Launches FDA-Approved Dry Mouth Prevention Oral Adhesive Candy 'Xylimelts'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Onnuri Store announced on the 29th that it will officially start online sales of the world's first oral adhesive xylitol candy, 'Xylimelts.'

Developed to prevent and alleviate dry mouth, Xylimelts adheres to the gums to stimulate saliva secretion. The candy placed in the mouth can remain undissolved for up to 8 hours during sleep and generally lasts about 2 to 3 hours during the day when people talk more. It has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and holds a European oral adhesive tablet patent (EP), certifying the product's safety and reliability.

One Xylimelts candy is divided into two parts: white and brown. The white part, containing xylitol and cellulose gum, stimulates the salivary glands to help saliva production and maintains moisture in the mouth, which may help suppress bad breath. The thin brown side that adheres to the gums uses plant-based adhesive ingredients, providing a non-irritating and comfortable user experience.

Xylimelts comes in two flavors: ▲Mild Mint and ▲Slightly Sweet. Mild Mint contains peppermint oil to provide a refreshing sensation, while Slightly Sweet offers a mild sweetness for comfortable, irritation-free consumption.

An Onnuri Store representative said, “According to our own survey, over 50% of men and women aged 60 and older have experienced dry mouth, and recently, with mask-wearing becoming routine, complaints of dry mouth and bad breath have increased. Dry mouth can worsen not only bad breath but also diseases such as cavities and stomatitis, so prevention is necessary. Using oral adhesive candy can be helpful.”
