What it is

Throat Coat is a liquid herbal preparation in a vegetable glycerine base, delivered as a spray rather than a lozenge or a drink. Glycerine is a thick, naturally sweet-tasting liquid, and it is what gives the product its characteristic coating texture when sprayed into the mouth.

The botanicals

The blend draws on a group of plants described as mucilaginous — marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis) and plantain (Plantago) among them — which are naturally rich in mucilage, a gel-forming plant polysaccharide. Alongside these sit sage leaf, fenugreek, liquorice root, meadowsweet and osha root, with a small amount of cinnamon oil.

Why the format matters

Most throat products assume you're at home: a lozenge to sit with, a drink to brew, a spoon to measure. A 30ml spray assumes you aren't. It fits a jacket pocket or a gig bag, needs no water and no flat surface, and takes about four seconds to use — which is why it tends to end up in the hands of people working to a schedule rather than sitting at home.

Who tends to buy it

Singers, teachers, actors, broadcasters, lecturers, auctioneers, tour guides and presenters. Anyone who spends the working day using their voice and needs something that travels — usable between takes, between lessons, or in the wings.
