FAQs

What are KLAR® Bioceramic Nicotine Pouches?

KLAR® is the world’s first calcium-based nicotine pouch. The result is a completely new kind of nicotine experience. 

Our patented SERATEK™ technology easily outperforms standard pouches, delivering a faster, stronger kick. While KLAR’s bioceramic granules trigger instant hydration, giving you a softer, smoother feeling. 

Nicotine has never felt like this.

How does KLAR outperform other pouches?

Until now, nicotine pouches have been made from cellulose. But the chemical composition of cellulose interferes with nicotine release. This inefficiency means each pouch requires a high nicotine content to work – just to give you a standard performance.

By harnessing bioceramic technology, KLAR creates a nicotine experience you’ve simply never felt before. Containing SERATEK, our patented, biocompatible calcium compound, KLAR has a faster, more efficient delivery system, giving you a smoother, more consistent nicotine release.

In fact, KLAR pouches are so efficient, they deliver a 25% stronger kick with less nicotine*. 

And that’s not all:

  • As soon as you pop in a pouch the unique bioceramic granules trigger instant hydration, giving you a softer, more comfortable feeling.
  • Our pouches are smaller, for a snug, discreet fit.

KLAR: nicotine delivered differently, for a nicotine sensation like nothing else.

What’s inside a KLAR Bioceramic Nicotine Pouch?

Each KLAR pouch holds SERATEK, our patented bioceramic calcium compound, coated in nicotine. This is combined with food-grade ingredients to offer a uniquely superior nicotine performance, unlike anything else you’ve experienced.

What is bioceramic technology?

SERATEK is a patented, biocompatible calcium compound – the bioceramic ingredient in KLAR Bioceramic Nicotine Pouches. Naturally sourced and precision engineered in our bioceramic laboratory in Uppsala, Sweden, SERATEK’s unique properties create a nicotine experience you’ve simply never felt before – ever.

What is SERATEK™?

SERATEK is a patented, biocompatible calcium compound – the bioceramic ingredient in KLAR Bioceramic Nicotine Pouches. Naturally sourced and precision engineered in our bioceramic laboratory in Uppsala, Sweden, SERATEK’s unique properties create a nicotine experience you’ve simply never felt before – ever.

Is bioceramic technology safe?

Yes. Bioceramics are biocompatible, which means they’re 100% safe inside the human body. Bioceramic materials have been extensively used in medical applications for many years, such as for implants and dental work, due to their non-toxic, stable and reliable nature.

Why is KLAR less harmful than smoking?

KLAR Bioceramic Nicotine Pouches contain no tobacco, a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and lung cancer. Cigarettes and other tobacco products also contain further harmful chemicals that are not present in KLAR.

By avoiding the need to inhale, KLAR reduces the risks associated with serious lung and respiratory issues commonly linked to smoking. 

KLAR only contains nicotine, which is non-carcinogenic, and food-grade ingredients. However, nicotine is an addictive substance and therefore KLAR Is unsuitable for people who are not nicotine users.

What happens if I swallow a pouch? 

Don’t panic. Although KLAR pouches are not designed to be eaten, an accidentally swallowed pouch is very unlikely to cause any toxic effects. Nicotine is not easily processed by the stomach, and the remaining elements of the pouch (SERATEK bioceramic compound, food-grade ingredients and paper) are safe. However, if you have any concerns it’s best to consult a healthcare professional.

How should I store KLAR?

KLAR should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, with the lid tightly sealed. This will make sure your KLAR pouches stay as fresh as possible, maintaining the high performance you expect.

For ultimate freshness, store KLAR in the fridge.

Note: KLAR Bioceramic Nicotine Pouches stay fresh for 12 months. Find the Best Before Date on the underside of the can.

Are KLAR pouches biodegradable?

At the moment, KLAR naturally unbleached pouches are not biodegradable and should be disposed of in standard refuse bins. We are actively searching for ways to improve KLAR’s sustainability.

What are KLAR’s cans made from?

KLAR Bioceramic Nicotine Pouches come in a compact can made from sustainably sourced pine oil. Our cans are fully recyclable – just put them in with normal plastic recycling.

We are exploring biodegradable materials, with the aim of switching to an even more sustainable, environmentally friendly option in the future.

Are KLAR cans recyclable?

Yes, they can be put in with normal plastic recycling.
