  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    ArniPatch™ by Laboflex: Introduces Natural Hydrogel Pain, Inflammation and Bruise Relief That Outperforms Typical Oral and Topical Remedies at Newtopia Now, Booth #1544.

    Laboflex Inc., U.S. subsidiary of Wooshin Labottach and creator of ArniPatch™, is introducing its patented, next-generation natural pain, inflammation and bruise relief patch to buyers at the August 2026 Newtopia Now session.  Backed by clinical studies and real-world performance with professional athletes, active teens, adults, and seniors.   ArniPatch is a homeopathic, drug-free hydrogel patch designed to deliver Arnica Montana through a controlled-release system, offering up to 8–12 hours of targeted comfort without the mess, odor, or systemic side effects common with oral pills and topical creams.

    Consumers are growing tired of rotating between pills, sticky creams, and strong-smelling ointments that can wear off quickly.   ArniPatch provides a natural, clinically tested alternative: a cooling, flexible hydrogel patch that stays where it’s needed and works overtime, while eliminating pill fatigue and reducing the risk of interactions with other medications.

    Innovative advantages vs typical natural oral and topical remedies

    ArniPatch represents a modern evolution of traditional Arnica Montana, designed to fit how consumers actually live and recover:

    •            Targeted, long-lasting relief: Controlled-release hydrogel delivers Arnica Montana 1X HPUS (1%) directly to the affected area for up to 8–12 hours, avoiding the peaks and valleys of oral products and the short wear time of creams and gels.

    •            Clean, convenient format: Drug-free, scent-free hydrogel patch with elastic fabric construction; no residue, no staining, and no need to reapply multiple times per day.

    *            Dermatologist Tested (by tough EU standards):  to ensure the patch is safe for even the most sensitive skin.

    •            Excellent solution for pill-fatigued consumers: Ideal for people who want to avoid oral pain products, are on multiple medications, or prefer non-systemic, natural recovery options.

    •            Real-world recovery scenarios: Used for post-workout and post-match recovery, bruises, sprains, stiffness after travel, those suffering from chronic pain and inflammation, as well as ongoing support for high-load areas in sports training.

    Compared with typical natural oral supplements and topical remedies, ArniPatch keeps the active ingredient where it matters, for longer, with far less friction in daily use—no measuring doses, no waiting for absorption through the digestive system, and no re-application every few hours.

    Committed to in-store Retailer Support

    Laboflex is committed to supporting our retail partners with several merchandising options, staff training, shelf wobblers, consumer brochures, sampling, and event support.   ArniPatch can be purchased in three retail-ready box configurations that fit multiple placements in the store:

    •            Countertop display box – 12 pouches (5 patches per pouch): Ideal for front end, pharmacy counter, check-stand placement to capture impulse and attach sales. Each pouch contains 5 patches, with an MSRP positioned as a “try me” entry point for new users.

    •            Shelf box – 10-patch carton - A standard shelf-ready format for set integration in pain relief, sports medicine, and natural wellness. Two pouches per box provide enough product for short recovery cycles or localized bruising and sprains.

    •            Mini box – Single patch carton (Coming Soon): Compact footprint suitable for clip strips, peg boards, endcaps, and specialized sets (travel, fitness, sports, and first aid). This format is designed to drive trial in high-traffic areas and cross-merchandising zones.

    These three formats let retailers build a comprehensive strategy: trial at the counter, repeat purchase on shelf, and targeted discovery in sports, fitness, travel, pain relief, and first aid sections. The clean, natural positioning and modern packaging make ArniPatch an easy add to existing pain relief sets and natural wellness assortments.

    Newtopia Now show special for buyers

    To support fast onboarding and encourage early adoption, Laboflex is offering an exclusive Newtopia Now show special:

     ArniPatch is engineered for the way people actually move, train, and recover.  Laboflex’s introduction of ArniPatch at Newtopia Now will help retailers turn the growing demand for natural, drug-free pain, inflammation, and bruise care into a high-margin, high-velocity category with formats that work across front end, shelf, and specialty sets.  Retailers can schedule a meeting at the show or stop by booth #1544 to learn more and pick up a sample.

    Proven innovation in the sports world

    As a proud partner of the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC), ArniPatch’s hydrogel technology and natural formulation have already been embraced in professional sports environments, underscoring its performance-grade design.  This same patch technology is used by everyday athletes—runners, cyclists, gym goers, and weekend players—who need reliable recovery support without adding more pills to their routine.
