There are several options available for nasal hygiene from Stérimar, each suited for different needs and age ranges:
Stérimar Nose Hygiene Baby: This is the best choice for babies. It's a natural, purified sea water nasal spray that gently cleans and clears little noses. The patented nozzle has a gentle micro-diffusion spray to coat the inside of the nasal passages and prevent colds. It's safe to use from birth to 3 years old, and contains no preservatives or additives.
Stérimar Nose Hygiene and Comfort: This is ideal for the whole family. It's a natural, physiological / isotonic formula that helps cleanse the nose and eliminate impurities from the nasal passages. It's free from drugs, steroids, and preservatives, so it's safe to use daily from 3 years and up. It's also safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and can be used following nose surgery.
Stérimar Sensitive Nose: This product is ideal for those with damaged nasal lining. It's a physiological / isotonic solution that helps clear and cleanse nasal passages, eliminating allergens in contact with the nasal lining (such as pollen, dust, and pet hair). It can help reduce the number of acute allergic rhinitis episodes by 42% with daily use.
Stérimar Blocked Nose: This is the perfect choice for those with a blocked nose. It's an exclusive formula inspired by nature, made from 100% sea water and enriched with copper salts to gently cleanse nasal passages and reduce the risk of ENT disorders.
Stérimar Stop & Protect Allergy Response: This nasal pump is scientifically proven to provide rapid and effective relief from the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including a blocked or runny nose, itchy nose, sneezing, and watery eyes. It's made from natural sea water and a patented complex, and helps unblock nasal passages and neutralize allergens.
For adults and kids: Prime the spray by briefly pressing the nozzle. Insert the nozzle into one nostril. Press briefly without tilting your head backwards or sniffing. Blow your nose. Repeat in the other nostril. Clean the nozzle after application with soapy water, rinse and dry. Use as often as required or as recommended by your doctor.
For babies: Prime the spray briefly by depressing the nozzle. Lay the baby down on their side or sit up with the baby's head tilted to one side. Gently insert the nozzle into the nostril. Press the nozzle briefly – let any excess solution run out before wiping the nose. Repeat in the other nostril. Clean the nozzle after application with soapy water, rinse and dry. Use as often as required or as recommended by your doctor.
We recommend using the Stérimar Physiological/Isotonic range (Stérimar Nose Hygiene and Comfort, Stérimar Sensitive Nose, Stérimar Allergy Response, and Stérimar Baby) two to six times a day (or more) in each nostril for as long as you need it, or as long as and as often as your doctor recommends.
The Stérimar Hypertonic range (Stérimar Blocked Nose and Stérimar Blocked Nose Baby) should be used to decongest blocked noses. Use two to four times a day in each nostril for light congestion and up to six times a day for severe congestion. Otherwise, use the Stérimar Physiological/Isotonic range for daily nasal hygiene and maintenance.
Yes! Stérimar is drug-free and preservative-free, so there is no known risk. However, if you have any concerns, it is recommended to consult with a medical professional before use.
Stérimar Physiological/Isotonic range (Stérimar Nose Hygiene and Comfort, Stérimar Sensitive Nose, Stérimar Allergy Response, and Stérimar Baby) is made of purified sea water with the same salt concentration as the cells in the human body. As such, irritation is highly unlikely.
The Stérimar Hypertonic range (Stérimar Blocked Nose and Stérimar Blocked Nose Baby) has a higher salt content than the isotonic range, but the solution is still not as salty as normal sea water. In the event of a sensation of dryness, it should disappear within a few days. If you are experiencing any irritation, please seek advice from a medical professional.
Yes, Stérimar is safe for use during pregnancy and by those with diabetes or high blood pressure. However, if you have any concerns, it is recommended to consult with a medical professional before use.
Stérimar Baby can be used by babies starting at 0 months old, while Stérimar Blocked Nose Baby is suitable for babies 3 months and older. The other Stérimar ranges are recommended for use by children aged 3 and above.
The Stérimar nozzle has been designed to fit comfortably in any nostril shape or size and is safe to use. The nozzles for Stérimar Baby and Stérimar Blocked Nose Baby also feature a protective flange to prevent the nozzle from being inserted too far into the nostril, avoiding the risk of injury.
Stérimar products can be stored for up to three years from the date of manufacture, or until all of the solution has been used. The expiration date can be found on the bottom of the can and packaging. The valve on top of the can helps to prevent contamination by keeping air out and ensuring that each dose of Stérimar is aseptic.
A 50ml bottle of Stérimar can generally be used for about 150 sprays, while a 100ml bottle can last for about 300 sprays.
To clean the nozzle of your Stérimar bottle, you should remove it from the bottle and wash it in soapy water. This helps to remove any microorganisms that may be present and keeps the nozzle clean and hygienic to prevent cross-contamination.
Yes, you can bring Stérimar products with you when you travel by plane. However, please note that sprays in 100ml must be placed in your checked luggage.
Stérimar is committed to protecting the environment. The aluminum cans, cardboard packaging, and plastic caps are all recyclable.
Stérimar products are made from 100% natural seawater from Cancale, France, which is filtered and does not contain preservatives. This helps to preserve the properties of the mineral salts and trace elements in the seawater. Unlike saline solutions, which are dilutions of water and salt, Stérimar products do not contain any added NaCl.
Stérimar sources its seawater from Cancale, located in the Bay of Mont Saint Michel in France. This region is known for its high-quality seawater and is regularly monitored by the IFREMER, an official public body. The site is also home to the highest tides in Europe.
Stérimar has two separate ranges: the physiological / isotonic range that includes Stérimar Nose Hygiene and Comfort, Stérimar Baby, Stérimar Sensitive Nose, Stérimar Allergy Response, and the hypertonic range that covers Stérimar Blocked Nose and Stérimar Blocked Nose Baby.
Physiological, sometimes referred to as isotonic, refers to an equal amount of salt concentration of the product to that of the cells in the human body.
On the other hand, Hypertonic refers to our range of products containing a higher concentration of salt than that of the cells in the human body, which helps create an osmotic effect to extract thick mucus from the nasal passages.
The inclusion of copper and manganese in Stérimar Blocked Nose and Stérimar Baby Blocked Nose products serve to stimulate the body's natural defense mechanisms and support overall health. These minerals are present in trace amounts within the human body and are essential for maintaining good health.
Stérimar products are packaged in a way that allows for safe and convenient use. The products are designed with a sterile valve-pocket system, which allows the spray to be used in any position and ensures the solution is evenly distributed in the nasal cavities. The pocket separates the Stérimar solution from the propellent gas, and the tip of the product produces a gentle micro-diffusion into the nasal cavities. This design helps to ensure safe administration of the product.
Stérimar sprays use nitrogen, an inert and non-flammable gas that is naturally present in the air, to compress the solution and disperse the spray. Nitrogen does not come into contact with the seawater solution and is used safely in the spray process.
The micro-diffusion spray in Stérimar products creates a fine mist of sea water that coats the inside of the nasal passages. The droplets produced by the spray are microfine, which means they stay in contact with the walls of the nasal passages for a longer period of time, making Stérimar more effective. The baby range has a special nozzle that produces a very soft diffusion, specifically designed for the delicate noses of babies and young children.
