What's inside a VELO product
Like other tobacco-free nicotine pouches, VELO pouches are made from nicotine (tobacco-derived or synthetic), a plant-fiber filler (typically microcrystalline cellulose), a pH adjuster to put nicotine into its fast-absorbing "free-base" form, flavoring, and a sweetener. Exact ingredient lists vary by SKU and aren't independently published for every VELO product, so check the can or VELO's own site for the specific ingredient list of the product you're using.
How to use it
- Place the pouch between your gum and upper lip (some formats also work under the lower lip).
- Leave it in place — no chewing, no spitting.
- Most pouches are comfortable for 20–60 minutes; nicotine release is front-loaded in the first 20–30 minutes.
- Dispose of the used pouch in the trash, not down a drain.
