Description
What are nicotine pouches?
Nicotine pouches are modern next-generation products allowing smoke-free nicotine delivery.
- They derive from traditional, brown snus. The only difference between the two is the nicotine carrier. Tobacco snus contains tobacco leaves, while nicotine pouches are filled with cellulose instead.
- Nicotine pouches resemble tiny, white, bags of tea filled with powdered cellulose soaked in a mixture of pure nicotine or nicotine salts, aromas, and pH-alignant (to make product pH more similar to the natural pH of the oral cavity). The mixture is additionally moistened with PG or VG.
- Nicotine pouches are most popular in Scandinavian countries but are becoming more and more popular in other countries.
- They are not regulated by the TPD legislation in most of the EU countries and do not require registration. However, each country may have its own, different legislation for nicotine pouches.
- Nicotine pouches are perfect complementary goods to e-liquids.

Nicotine Pouches Raw Materials
1. NICOTINE
Pure Nicotine
PureNic 99+ pure nicotine is a premium quality nicotine, extracted from tobacco leaves, dedicated to the production of e-liquids and nicotine pouches. Chemnovatic nicotine meets European and US pharmacopeia standards (EP, USP), which confirm certificates from external accredited laboratories.
Due to meticulous quality control and repeatable manufacturing processes we are able to maintain consistency and the highest quality of every batch.
Nicotine salts
In short, nicotine salts are an alternative form of nicotine for e-liquid and nicotine pouches production. Nicotine salts occur in a form of powder/crystals due to their chemical structure, are more biocompatible to the human organism. They provide strong and long-lasting nicotine satisfaction levels with decreased harshness to the throat while vaping.
2. CELLULOSE
Microcrystalline Cellulose
Microcrystalline Cellulose comes from high-quality cellulose pulp. While cellulose is the most abundant organic material, microcrystalline cellulose can come from special grades of alpha cellulose. It is a white, odorless, tasteless, very free-flowing powder that is relatively free of organic and inorganic impurities. It is metabolically inert and has excellent water absorption capacity. In our compositions it is used as an emulsion stabilizer and a viscosity modifier.
Currently in our offer you can find two types of Microcrystalline Cellulose: MMC-102 and MMC-112.
3. NICOTINE POUCHES ADDITIVES
Sometimes a concentrated flavouring alone is not enough to get the desired effect. That is why Chemnovatic offers a series of most common additives for taste enhancement. All additives in our offer are carefully selected for nicotine pouch manufacturing and come with full documentation.
Sodium Carbonate SC-1000
This compound has the consistency of white, crystalline, hygroscopic powder. It dissolves very well in water. In the environment, it occurs naturally in soda lakes and in the ash of sea plants. The food industry uses Sodium carbonate as a raising agent, stabilizer, and acidity regulator. Under special conditions, thanks to the release, sodium carbonate causes loosening of the product and maintains the appropriate pH level.
Sodium Bicarbonate SBC-1000
An ingredient with many properties and a wide range of applications, also in the cosmetics industry. It increases the pH of products, at 50°C it decomposes, which manifests itself in the formation of abundant foam, which is the basic ingredient of bath balls that softens the water. Sodium Bicarbonate has moisture-absorbing properties. The cosmetics industry uses Sodium Bicarbonate in oral hygiene products, removes plaque and carious bacteria, whitens teeth. It also absorbs unpleasant odors. Adsorbent, pH regulator. Filling substance.
Sodium Alginate SA-1000
pH stabilizer – has thickening and moisture-retaining properties have the ability to soothe irritation and redness. The FDA and the FAO / WHO Expert Committee recognize sodium alginate as a safe food additive. It is obtained from the seaweed washed up on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. It is white to slightly yellow fibrous to granular, tasteless powder. Swells easily. An ingredient that binds moisture in the epidermis and cosmetic substances, hygroscopic. At a slightly acidic pH, it thickens and clarifies watery formulas. Used for example in styling hair gels and gel kinds of toothpaste, face masks, but also in many other cosmetics. It prevents phase separation in emulsion formulas and reduces viscosity. It is film-forming, protects, and moisturizes.
Potassium Sorbate PS-1000
Potassium Sorbate PS-1000 – a preservative that protects against the growth of mold and yeast, known as E202. It is one of the safest additives in food, cosmetics, and medicines. Non-toxic. It shows low activity up to pH = 6 – using it in such conditions is still profitable, however, it is most effective up to pH = 4.4. Potassium sorbate is a derivative of an unsaturated fatty acid and can therefore undergo oxidation. Therefore, it is combined in products with antioxidants that protect against changes in its properties.
Gum Arabic GA-1000
It owes its wide application to its thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying properties. You can find Gum Arabic in almost all confectionery products (mainly cocoa and chocolate) because it prevents sugar crystallization and combines the ingredients, which guarantees the right consistency. Medicine uses Arabic gum as a shielding agent in mucous membrane inflammation and as auxiliary raw material in the pharmacy recipe.
Xylitol X-1000
Xylitol is a sweetener of natural origin that comes from birch. It is an ideal replacement for sucrose because it tastes and looks like regular sugar. Moreover, it has a low glycemic index IG: 8. It can be used by diabetics. It will also be appreciated by those who would like to lose some weight and those who care about health, all thanks to its low caloric content (40% fewer calories than white sugar). Xylitol is widely used in the food industry, while in the production of nicotine pouches it is used as a sweetener.
Ascorbic Acid AA-1000
Ascorbic acid, also known as Vitamin C, is a powerful and effective antioxidant that fights free radicals and supports sun protection. It is also a lightening substance, appreciated for the illumination effect and improvement of the color of products.
Vitamin C is a naturally occurring compound. It is synthesized by all plants and most animals. Its sources in the diet are mainly fruits and vegetables. There is much less of it in animal products. Unfortunately, man belongs to a small group of organisms that are not able to synthesize vitamin C. Additionally, this vitamin is soluble in water, and thus, it is not stored in the body.
Citric Acid CA-1000
Citric Acid regulates the pH of the cosmetic and also acts as a preservative (increases the durability of the cosmetic), as well as supporting the action of other active ingredients. It belongs to the group of organic compounds – hydroxylic acids (AHA). It is characterized by a white color and a crystalline structure. It has a distinctly sour taste. It dissolves in water and alcohols. It is widely used in the food, cosmetic, horticultural, fodder and pharmaceutical industries.
Gum Xanthan GX-1000
Gum Xanthan is a kind of stabilizer and thickener of food products. It also acts as a carrier and as a foaming agent. Xanthan gum, after special preparation, creates the so-called pseudoplastic solutions, and at the same time resistant to an acidic environment. In addition, xanthan gum solutions are very resistant to enzymes, low and high temperatures.
Xanthan gum is a type of carbohydrate (polysaccharide) that shows microbial origin. This gum is made of sugars such as glucose and mannose as well as glucuronic, acetic and pyruvic acids. The latter two are partially esterified.
Erythritol E-1000
Erythritol is a sweetener that belongs to the group of polyhydroxy alcohols (sugar alcohols). These are compounds that are characterized by their low energy value and the fact that they do not raise blood glucose levels. Erythritol is therefore considered as one of the healthiest natural sweeteners. It is used as a substitute for ordinary, everyday-used sugar. It is characterized by a delicate, sweet taste. After ingestion, it is quickly eliminated from the body and it can be used by diabetics. Erythritol helps to maintain tooth mineralization and does not contribute to the development of caries.
Acesulfam-K AK-1000
Acesulfame-K is a sweetener that is about 150 times sweeter than sucrose. It slightly enhances the taste and smell of products. Acesulfame-K is well soluble in water. Moreover, it is approved for use in the European Union and the United States. It is stable during thermal processing (cooking, baking, but also freezing) and storage. It may have a slightly bitter aftertaste at higher concentrations, which is why it is often used in conjunction with other sweeteners.
Cooler WS23-1000
Cooler WS23-1000 provides a cooling effect without any minty or menthol-like aftertaste. When diluted in PG, Cooler WS23-1000 it has no smell or taste.

Nicotine Pouches Flavours
Chemnovatic offers a wide range of flavourings for nicotine pouches manufacturing. Nicotine pouches flavourings add value to the product, improving the taste sensation and making it even more pleasant to use.
5. PG&VG
Propylene glycol
PG is the best base for flavor distribution and mixing with other components. It delivers the best possible flavor in snuss production and at the same time moisturizes the product. Therefore if you are looking for that perfectly delivered flavour in your nicotine pouches propylene glycol is the one to go for.
Vegetable glycerine
It is a colorless and thick organic compound that acts as a solvent for liquid nicotine or serves as a great base for flavor mixing. Because of low toxicity and dense consistency, you can use vegetable glycerine at higher ratios in the nicotine pouches whenever you want a smoother product consistency and better moisturization. Vegetable glycerine is a natural alternative for white snus users allergic to PG.
