Body Doctor partners with Polygiene for eye compresses and face masks

Body Doctor has partnered with Polygiene to boost the offering of eye compresses and face masks.

Body Doctor provides eye-care, eyelid hygiene products as well as eye compresses.

The firm will provide its AB+ face masks with Polygiene ViralOff antimicrobial technology, with the expected launch date this month.

The Polygiene Biostatic technology is also incorporated in the Eye Doctor Sterileyes eye compresses.

With an exclusivity agreement and strong sales momentum in 2020, with an order value of approximately SEK1m, Polygiene expects to see even higher sales in 2021.

Body Doctor founder Sue Grant said: “We selected Polygiene for the extensive expertise that was apparent from data supplied and the individuals we worked with.

“We had full confidence in Polygiene, and they worked with us to ensure that the antibacterial solution supplied would pass the additional rigorous testing we needed to undertake.

“We needed to ensure that there would be no detrimental effects to individuals applying our coated compresses to their eyes whilst still offering the reassurance of an effective antibacterial on the product. This was a three months long test which we passed successfully.”

Polygiene CEO Ulrika Björk said: “It is great to see that Polygiene can add value in new sectors like this, where testing and demands are rigorous – a good example is the Medical Class I approval that the antibacterial compresses have received.

“We see a long-term partnership with Body Doctor and want to continue being an important part in their successful developments of unique products, like the eye compresses.”
