Designed For Adults Who Need a Gentler Approach
Why Senses Exists
Not everyone experiences oral care the same way. For many adults, strong flavours, foaming textures and overly stimulating routines can feel uncomfortable, distressing or hard to tolerate.
Senses was created with these needs in mind. Shaped by real experiences from adults, families and care environments, our products focus on milder flavours, accepted textures and simpler routines, supporting oral care that feels calmer, more predictable and easier to live with.
Because comfort isn't a luxury. It's essential.
Who We Support
Many adults need oral care that feels calmer, softer or easier to manage. Senses is shaped around the people who benefit most from a gentler approach, whether they live at home, in residential care or are supported by care teams.

Our Mission
Oral care isn't experienced the same way by everyone. For many adults, strong flavours, foaming textures or overstimulating routines can make daily oral care uncomfortable, distressing or hard to maintain.
Our mission is simple: we make oral care kinder - through innovation, inclusivity and unwavering compassion.
At Senses, this means designing products that respect difference, support dignity and fit into real lives. We focus on thoughtful design, sensory-aware choices and practical simplicity, so oral care feels easier, calmer and more human.
Because everyone deserves oral care that works with them, not against them.
Sian Ellingworth
Founder & CEO
Our work is shaped by real care environments. We’re proud to be partnering with Nightingale Hammerson, a leading charitable care provider in London, to explore how gentle oral care can better support adults with sensitive mouths.
Their team has been trialling our early Senses formulations and tools, offering valuable feedback that’s helping us refine the range. The trial is still underway, and we’ll share findings once their evaluation is complete.
"We're busy analysing the results and looking forward to sharing them shortly"
