Q: What makes Boroleum® Ointment different?

A: Boroleum® Ointment is mild, gentle and soothing: Boroleum® is very gentle on skin - even delicate facial skin around the nose and nasal passages - and is so mild it may be safely used for children as young as two years of age. And unlike nasal products that contain more powerful concentrations of odorants, Boroleum®'s subtle, refreshing menthol-eucalyptol scent has been described by users as "mild", "light", "soft", "gentle" and "airy".

Boroleum® is versatile: Unlike some single-purpose nasal products, Boroleum® Ointment is versatile and may be used to provide soothing, effective relief of a wide range of common nasal problems including nasal redness, itchiness and irritation due to cold or nasal allergy symptoms. Boroleum® is a gentle, effective skin protectant - perfect for soothing, moisturizing relief of dry, cracked or raw nasal skin, chapped lips and "wind-burn". Boroleum® provides gentle, effective relief of lifestyle-related and environmental nasal soreness or discomfort due to hot, dry or low-humidity conditions, frigid and windy or harsh conditions. Boroleum® may even be used by patients undergoing oxygen therapy, sleep apnea treatments and other respiratory therapies to help moisturize dry nasal passages (or "dry-nose") caused by the drying effects of constant airflow through the nasal passages and to help minimize chaffing or soreness caused by use of an air-mask.

Boroleum® is easy to use anywhere nasal discomfort may occur: Unlike nasal products that come in awkward, wet or bulky dispensers, Boroleum® comes in a small, convenient 4" tube (with an easy-to-grip re-sealable cap) so it can be easily carried in a purse or coat pocket. And unlike inconvenient sprays or rinses, with Boroleum® all you need is a little dab to the affected area, for a whole lot of soothing relief.

Q: Is Boroleum® Ointment good for year-round use?

A: Absolutely! In Spring - or for that matter, any time of year - Boroleum® provides soothing relief of itching, redness and nasal irritation caused by nasal allergy symptoms. In Winter, Boroleum®'s unique combination of ingredients gently seals and protects delicate facial skin and can be used to help relieve nasal soreness, dry, chapped lips and wind-burned facial cheeks caused by exposure to frigid, windy or harsh conditions. In Summertime - and in hot, dry, low-humidity environments year-round - Boroleum® gently moisturizes nasal passages, and can help relieve chapped lips, "dry nose" and other nasal problems caused by hot, dry conditions.
