| Initial Meeting | Hong Kong exhibition, November 2024 |

| First Order | May 2025 |
| Outcome | Existing supplier replaced; repeat orders and additional categories followed |
The project began with a 1.5-hour exhibition discussion about cost, whitening performance, stability and delivery.
Onuge completed ten sample rounds and repeated formula/stability work over six months.
The first production order met the agreed quality, stability and delivery requirements described in the source.
Cooperation later expanded to whitening pens and teeth whitening powder.
The customer was a Philippine oral care brand that had sourced teeth whitening products from a Korean manufacturer. It wanted a more flexible supply option without abandoning the performance and product experience used in its existing range.
The source also identifies a major retail channel and the customer name. Those details should not be published until written authorization is confirmed.
The buyer's reference product used a high-concentration hydrogen peroxide system. Its requirements combined several factors that could not be solved by price alone.
| Requirement | Development Question |
|---|---|
| Whitening performance | Could the sample meet the customer's agreed benchmark? |
| Shelf stability | Could active degradation be controlled over the intended shelf life? |
| Adhesion and feel | Could the strip remain consistent in use? |
| Cost | Could the new supply structure improve commercial viability? |
| Delivery | Could production and lead-time expectations be met? |
From November 2024 to April 2025, Onuge's development and quality teams worked through ten rounds of samples. The source describes adjustments to raw-material selection, formula ratios, stabilizer levels, adhesion, dryness and active retention, supported by retained-sample observation and stability work.
Because peroxide concentration and product availability are market-specific, the final concentration, test protocol and legal route must be confirmed from the approved SKU dossier before publication.
For buyers comparing chemistry options, Onuge's overview of hydrogen peroxide and PAP whitening can support early product discussions. The teeth whitening strips range provides additional format options.
The customer evaluated iterative samples while Onuge tracked formula and stability changes. The development period lasted approximately six months, allowing both sides to refine the production version before the first order.
The source says the customer increased its planned order volume, but the exact expression is ambiguous between “to 1.5 times” and “by 150%.” The public draft therefore omits the number pending confirmation.
The first order was placed in May 2025. According to the source, the shipment met the agreed requirements for quality, stability and delivery. Repeat orders followed, and cooperation expanded to whitening pens and whitening powder.
The customer allowed sufficient time for development, and Onuge used that time for repeated sampling instead of forcing an early production decision. Technical alignment, commercial compromise and first-order verification created the basis for multi-category cooperation.
The source identifies high cost, limited flexibility and delivery constraints in the previous supply arrangement.
Approximately six months, from the November 2024 meeting to the May 2025 first order.
Ten sample rounds are reported in the source.
Yes. The source reports repeat orders and later projects involving whitening pens and powder.
