Pearl Strips — what's in the first box.

Our first SKU is a 14-day hydrogel film at 6% hydrogen peroxide. Here's what's actually inside the carton and why.

The first Wytte product ships in 2026. Pearl Strips: a 14-day hydrogel whitening course built for the Indian premium consumer.

Here's what's in the box, and why.

The strips

  • Hydrogel film — flexible, adheres to dry enamel without slipping, peels off cleanly without residue
  • 6% hydrogen peroxide gel — at the Indian and EU consumer ceiling for safe at-home use
  • 30 minutes per session, once daily, 14 days total
  • 14 individually sealed pouches — paired strips (upper + lower) in each
  • Smile-zone coverage — front 6 teeth upper, front 6 teeth lower
  • Vegan, no animal-derived ingredients

The carton

The carton specifications were not afterthoughts. Each detail was chosen:

  • 350 gsm FSC-certified paperboard — sturdier than industry standard
  • Debossed wordmark on the front face — pressed in, not printed on top
  • Single foil hit — champagne sparkle, no other foil elements
  • Matte uncoated surface — reads cosmetic, not pharmacy
  • Internal foil barrier — protects the peroxide from light and oxygen during shelf life
  • No plastic blister — recyclable polylaminate inner pouches only
  • No cellophane outer wrap

What we left out

We could have added:

  • ❌ An LED activator light → doesn't measurably help and adds plastic
  • ❌ A shade guide → most people prefer photographs (they're more honest)
  • ❌ A storage case → the carton itself is the case
  • ❌ A "boosting serum" → marketing, not chemistry
  • ❌ A whitening pen → wrong product for first launch

The box does one thing. Well.

What's inside the inner sleeve

The folded inner sleeve carries:

  • Day-by-day instructions in plain language (not regulator legalese)
  • Sensitivity protocol with specific timing
  • Diet guidelines for the 14-day window
  • A small calendar to tick off completed days
  • A note on the first 100 — yours if you're in that group

The opening day perks

The first 100 boxes ship with:

  • Hand-pressed champagne wax seal on the outer wrap
  • Folded note from the studio, real ink, signed
  • Hand-numbered inner sleeve (1 of 100, etc.)

After 100, the wax stops. It's a thank-you, not a continuing feature.

Pricing

Pearl Strips will list at ₹3,499 for the 14-day course. Below the global premium-strip average; above the standard pharmacy whitening kit.

The math:

  • ₹250 per day of whitening
  • ~₹700-1,000 per shade-lifted (based on typical 3-5 shade results)
  • One course typically lasts 6-12 months of held shade

It is not the cheapest option on the market. It is the option that prioritises the formula, the carton, and the customer experience.
