Transdermal Eye, Lip Patches are ‘Genius in a Jar’

Launched in 2015, FlashPatch Eye Gels and FlashPatch Lip Gels from Dedham, MA-based Patchology are said to be the first transdermal cosmetic patches packaged in a jar rather than a sachet. According to Patchology President & CEO Chris Hobson, foregoing sachets in favor of a jar was a deliberate decision that brought down the per-patch cost significantly.

“When eye patches are housed in individual sachets, it can be very costly [from $5 to $10 per treatment] and causes users to only use their eye patches for special occasions,” Hobson says. “As innovators in both packaging and patches, we saw the need to make patches more convenient and accessible. We knew the packaging would be essential in achieving this goal. The jar was the perfect solution; we worked with our suppliers to create the perfect fit jar for both the eye and lip patches.”

The clear FlashPatch Eye Gel patches are cut in a yin-and-yang like shape, and are packaged interlocking in the jar, which holds 30 pairs, or 60 patches. The Lip Gels are shaped like a pair of lips in a sparkling pink color. Thirty lip patches are held within the jar in a custom-shaped insert.
