Innovative nicotine pouches
Everyone knows the little tobacco pouches, also called snus. As many people want to give up tobacco, tobacco-free snus is becoming increasingly popular. It contains no tobacco leaves, is based on plant fibres and contains nicotine in measured doses. These products are often used as a practical alternative to traditional snus because they are low in odour, discreet and easy to use.
In Switzerland, nicotine pouches are clearly regulated: if you want to buy tobacco-free snus, you must be at least 18 years old. All varieties are therefore intended for adult consumers.
What is tobacco-free snus made of?
At their core, our tobacco-free pouches consist of three elements: filler, nicotine and flavourings. The filler makes up the main part and is usually based on cellulose, which gives the product its typical structure. Nicotine is added in a defined concentration and distributed evenly in the pouch. The flavourings determine the character of the product, from classic menthol variants to fruity profiles. Since no tobacco leaves are processed, the pouches keep a light colour and cause no tobacco-related discolouration. This is a key difference from conventional snus, whose dark tobacco blend usually leaves traces on teeth and lips.
Possible ingredients
- Cellulose as the base material and filler
- Nicotine in a defined concentration
- Flavour components for the product's character
- Stabilising fibres for shape and structure
- Light pouch casing without tobacco fibres
- Moisture-regulating components in technically necessary amounts (non-flavouring)
Tobacco-free snus vs. classic snus
Tobacco-free snus differs from classic snus in several respects. The structure is finer, as it contains no fibres from tobacco leaves. The taste is more clearly defined, because the flavouring does not compete with natural tobacco notes. The pouches stay white, even during use. With products such as All White and Trooper, this difference is especially clear: the pouches keep their light colour, and there is no tobacco-typical discolouration. This makes use more discreet, with no visible residue.

Trooper Pouches
Trooper was developed for a clear, fresh flavour. The cellulose base ensures an even release of the ingredients without discolouring the pouch. The flavour is precise without feeling overloaded. The pouches are slim and discreet, easy to place and keep their shape. The light colour is retained, which avoids visible residue.
All White Pouches
All White relies on a particularly neutral filler and an even lighter pouch design. This variant is for anyone who values the purest and most consistent character possible. The pouches are soft, hold their shape and are white throughout. The name reflects the look of the product: no tobacco, no dark particles, no discolouration. Even with longer use, the pouch stays light, which is typical of tobacco-free pouches.
How tobacco-free pouches are made and built
The production process starts with mixing the cellulose fibres. They are prepared to the desired consistency and homogenised with a nicotine solution. The flavour components are added only in the last step so that they stay evenly distributed. The mixture is filled into portions, sealed and packed in a second layer to keep the shape stable. This two-layer design (pouch inside, carrier material outside) ensures a controlled release and prevents liquid from escaping. The packaging is airtight to preserve moisture and aroma. Many manufacturers use cans with a built-in disposal compartment in the lid. The products can be stored cool and dry and need no special conditions.
How do I use the small pouches?
Nicotine pouches are slim portion pouches that are placed between the upper lip and the gum. The light colour stays the same, regardless of duration and position. Thanks to the tobacco-free base, no particles come loose or cause discolouration. The products stay low in odour and discreet, which makes them easy to carry and use unobtrusively.

Nicotine pouches are small portion pouches that contain nicotine but are made without tobacco leaves. They are based on cellulose and therefore stay white and dry. Unlike classic snus, there is no tobacco smell and no dark residue, and use is much more discreet overall.
The basic structure consists of cellulose fibres. Added to this are nicotine in a defined amount and flavouring that shapes the character of each variety. Since no tobacco at all is processed, the pouches stay light and keep their shape.
No. As they contain no dark tobacco fibres, there is no tobacco-typical discolouration of the teeth.
Trooper is designed for a clear, distinctive flavour profile and uses slim portion pouches. All White, on the other hand, uses a particularly neutral, light filler and pouches that are white throughout. Both varieties are tobacco-free, keep their colour and differ mainly in flavour and feel.
The production process is clearly structured: cellulose is brought to the desired fibre structure, then homogenised with nicotine and finally flavoured. The mixture is portioned into small pouches, sealed and packed airtight. This keeps flavour, moisture and shape stable, and the pouches keep their light look.
Yes. In Switzerland, tobacco-free nicotine pouches may be sold, but only to people aged 18 and over. They are subject to the Tobacco Products Act, which clearly regulates labelling and sale.
