Where it sits

Oral care section.

Parents and adults shopping natural oral care.

On the store floor

Display idea

Put BLIS products on the oral-care shelf with a small 'probiotics for the mouth' sign.

What staff can say depends on the finished product's own licence or label in your market (for example a Health Canada NPN, US structure/function wording or EU authorised claims), so read that label rather than the ingredient supplier's material.
