Evolving an oral care world where joy crashes routine.

“Your Daily Hit of 
Dental Dopamine”

The Context

Cocofloss was a cult floss favorite. They approached Wedge with one mission: Transform the brand from a single product into a whole world of oral care to support a growing portfolio where flavor meets dentist-designed performance. 

The Insight

Crash routine with joy. We challenged ourselves with one big question: What if we could create a universal “Smile Care System” worthy of the MoMA store? That insight drove the creation of an uplifting world and evolution of the name from Cocofloss to Cocolab for whatever comes next.

The Big Idea & Success

“Your Daily Hit of Dental Dopamine” is the new brand platform that inspires oral health through fun. Together, the work helped Cocolab grow 183% YoY, create outsized revenue growth across all channels, boost quality perception, and land coveted retail relationships.

“ Wedge helped us to balance premium credibility with playful charm, honoring the cult following”

COLOR PALETTE

9 out of 10 dentists recommend making oral care more fun. That was the vision of dentist-designed Cocofloss. Rooted in California and born in 2015, Cocofloss quickly established a cult following for their “loofah-like” floss offered in a variety of fun flavors. But the vision was always greater.
