Algasiv is a brand of denture adhesive products, including pads and pastes, that are designed to provide a strong, all-day hold and gum protection. The brand is owned and manufactured by Combe, Inc. and distributed by various partners globally.
Brand Overview
Algasiv specializes in over-the-counter dental hygiene products, primarily known for its unique denture adhesive pads.
Key features and benefits of Algasiv products include:
Strong, Lasting Hold:
The products ensure a firm hold of the denture throughout the day, preventing movement, which avoids discomfort and irritation.
Gum Protection:
They feature a soft cushion or tissue that covers the entire surface of the denture, preventing friction and gum irritation.
Natural Adhesives:
Algasiv products are made with natural adhesives, most notably an extract from marine algae (sodium alginate), combined with other non-toxic ingredients.
Barrier Effect:
The pads act as a barrier to prevent food debris from getting underneath the denture, which allows users to eat more comfortably.
Ease of Use/Cleanup:
The pads are tasteless, odorless, easy to remove, and leave no messy residue, making denture cleaning simpler than with some pastes.
Product Variants:
The brand offers specific pads tailored for both upper and lower dentures, as well as a range of adhesive creams.
Manufacturing and Distribution
The Algasiv brand is listed as a product of the private company Combe Incorporated. Combe is a global consumer goods company that owns several personal care and health brands. Distribution for Algasiv products in some markets, such as Spain, is handled by companies like Alimentación Varma, S.L..
