Description
What Is Happinose Nasal Decongestant Balm?
Happinose Nasal Decongestant Balm is a soothing ointment designed for use in and around the nose to ease congestion caused by:
- The common cold
- Catarrh
- Head colds
- Hay fever
- Allergies
It can also be gently massaged onto the lips, throat, chest, and shoulders to support easier breathing.
The active ingredient, Levomenthol (0.3%), works by producing a cooling sensation in the nasal passages, helping to clear blocked noses and soothe irritation.
How Does Happinose Balm Work?
When inhaled, the menthol vapour opens and soothes nasal passages, making breathing easier. The ointment base also moisturises and protects delicate skin around the nose, which can often become sore during colds.
Happinose can also help relieve:
- Minor sore throats
- Mouth irritation
- Discomfort caused by mucus build-up
This makes it a versatile and gentle nasal decongestant for adults and children over 5 years.
