The Challenge: A leading marketer of aesthetic medicine products and devices faced rigorous challenges in the distribution of injectable solutions, botulinum toxins, hyaluronic acids, and high-end dermatological serums. As biologically active formulas, any temperature variation exceeding a couple of degrees caused denaturation of the active ingredients, resulting in total product loss, delays in clinic treatments, and a negative impact on the distributor's reputation.
-
The Solution: Generic thermal packaging was replaced with solutions configured with Gelbrick. The thermal homogeneity provided by open-cell phenoplastic foam allowed for strict refrigeration ranges (2°C to 8°C) to be maintained during extended last-mile journeys, protecting the most delicate molecules from light and external heat.
