Omeobimbo technology for preservative free aqueous base liquid supplements for children
In recent years, the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industry has made significant progress in developing aqueous-based liquid formulations such as solutions, syrups, drops and stickpacks.
These forms are ideal for infants and young children (0–3 years) — a delicate age group requiring maximum safety and product quality.
According to EU Regulation 1333/2008 on food additives, the use of preservatives like sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate is prohibited in products intended for this pediatric category, ensuring better health protection for children.
Safe and stable liquid supplement development
At PJ Pharma, we have developed aqueous-based liquid supplements for children without preservatives, ensuring microbiological safety and long-term stability.
Our goal was to completely eliminate preservatives while maintaining high-quality standards and effective microbial protection, in compliance with EU regulations.
Liquid oral solutions and drops are particularly appreciated because they offer:
- Easy administration compared to solid forms.
- Precise dosage based on age and weight.
- Preservative-free formulation, ensuring safety and purity.
Technological challenges and our solution
Liquid formulations are susceptible to microbial growth, which can shorten shelf life and compromise product safety.
The EU Regulation 1333/2008 imposes restrictions on the use of preservatives such as sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate in supplements for children.
Our Omeobimbo technology provides an alternative approach, offering:
- Long-term microbiological stability without preservatives.
- Optimal protection of sensitive ingredients.
- High safety and purity, with controlled production and protective packaging.
Preservative-free liquid supplements thanks to Omeobimbo technology
With Omeobimbo technology, it is now possible to produce aqueous-based liquid supplements without preservatives, fully compliant with EU additive regulation 1333/2008.
This innovation ensures safe, stable and microbiologically protected products designed for early childhood.
Examples include:
- Vitamin drops for infants and children, gentle and easy to dose.
- Probiotic solutions in single-dose bottles, reducing contamination risk after opening and preserving probiotic viability by avoiding sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate.
Conclusion
Omeobimbo technology represents an innovative and safe solution for the development of aqueous-based liquid supplements for children, fully preservative-free and compliant with EU standards.
PJ Pharma, the ready-to-market division of Gruppo FarmaImpresa, offers Omeobimbo products available ready to commercialize or in private label, with full regulatory and technical support for national and international markets.
