- Full Description
-
A Spanish company manufactures and commercializes an innovative, eco-friendly solution that enhances the breastfeeding experience. Their product is a unique bee wax disc covering the breast areola. The product achieves an 80% breastfeeding success rate at six months. A Spanish University's Health Sciences faculty has scientifically validated these results.
The company's breast discs are 100% made of certified organic bee wax. They are reusable, biodegradable, and classified as a para-pharmacy product. Their key properties — anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral — help prevent discomfort, such as sensitivity and dryness.
Additionally, the product is highly sustainable and circular: after its use, it can be repurposed as a candle, which can be blown in the baby's birthday celebration, for instance, or any other purpose. The set includes the molds to give this product a second life.
The product is currently distributed in Spain through the following points of sale:
Pharmacies and para-pharmacies, as they cater to a wide range of healthcare products that are trusted by mothers seeking effective breastfeeding solutions.
Childcare stores, where parents and caregivers can find specialised products for babies and mothers.
Women’s health clinics, since it is an ideal environment where the product can be directly recommended by healthcare professionals specialising in women’s wellness and breastfeeding support.
The Spanish company is now expanding nationally and internationally. They require distributors interested in offering a unique and fast-selling product.
The company is particularly interested in finding commercial partners in the UE, the USA, and Canada. - Advantages and Innovations
-
Innovative advantages
- By using the discs from the 27th week of pregnancy, women achieve greater success in breastfeeding. The success rates are based on a scientific study conducted by an independent University.
- The product meets one of the main goals of the WHO concerning baby feeding: to reach by 2025, with 80% of women breastfeeding their babies at six months.
- Healthcare benefits: the discs provide treatment the entire time they are worn, which makes them so effective. They have anti-inflammatory, hydrating, and soothing properties. The product contains propolis, which is antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. They prevent stinging, dryness, sensitivity, flaking, itching, and nipple cracking. They prevent friction with fabrics and the manipulation of the breast areola, which is especially recommended during highly sensitive periods when even the touch of air can be felt uncomfortable. Storing the discs in the fridge enhances their alleviating benefits and properties.
- Easy maintenance: you only need to rub gently with saline and gauze to clean them. Afterward, there is no need to wash them before use.
- Durability: only one pair can be enough for the entire breastfeeding period. They can last up to two years from the moment of opening if treated with the appropriate maintenance.
- Sustainable and circular: it is organic and biodegradable. It is sold with a set to turn them into a candle after the initial use is over.
Commercial advantages:
- Very affordable pricing.
- Delivery lead time is 3 to 4 weeks.
- Easy logistics: no demanding transport and storing conditions, since the product does not lose any property under normal environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.). - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The company distributes its products through a carefully selected network of channels aimed at reaching both, healthcare professionals and consumers directly. The company requires distributors in the following channels:
1. Pharmacies and Para-pharmacies: As classified para-pharmacy products, the company’s items are ideally suited for these outlets. Pharmacies provide direct access to mothers and healthcare professionals seeking scientifically-backed breastfeeding solutions. These establishments ensure the product reaches a health-conscious audience that values trusted and effective care.
2. Childcare Stores: These shops focus on products specifically tailored to babies, mothers, and parenting. By distributing through childcare stores, the company connects directly with new and expecting parents and women seeking natural and sustainable breastfeeding support products.
3. Women’s Health Clinics: Women’s health clinics serve as another vital distribution channel for the company. These clinics, specialising in maternity and breastfeeding care, provide a platform for healthcare professionals like gynaecologists, midwives, and lactation consultants to recommend the product directly to mothers. This personalised recommendation builds trust and promotes adoption.
These channels align with the company’s mission of promoting health and sustainability, ensuring that the product is available where it is most needed: in professional healthcare settings and consumer outlets catering to mothers and babies. - Type and Size of Partner
