Avalon Salinose Cold Defence is not just a simple saline spray is a sophisticated Microgel formula designed to trap and neutralize viruses before they can take hold in your system.
How the Microgel Technology Works
Unlike liquid sprays that drain quickly, the Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (Microgel) in Salinose Cold Defence creates an adhesive, protective film over the nasal mucosa.
Trap: The gel physically captures airborne viruses.
Neutralize: The combination of Succinic Acid and Zinc creates a low-pH environment that helps de-activate viral particles, preventing them from replicating.
Clear: The natural movement of the nasal cilia then flushes the trapped particles toward the throat to be swallowed and destroyed by stomach acid.
Key Ingredients and Their Benefits
Zinc (Zinc EDTA & Zinc Acetate): Widely recognized for its ability to inhibit viral replication and support local immune defense.
Essential Oils (Menthol, Camphor, Eucalyptus): Provide an immediate refreshing sensation, helping to soothe nasal passages and improve the feeling of airflow.
Succinic Acid: Helps maintain an acidic environment on the nasal lining, which is unfavorable for most common cold viruses.
PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid): Acts as a natural humectant to keep the nasal lining hydrated and prevent irritation.
Comprehensive Nasal Cleansing: This advanced saline nasal spray gently flushes away irritants, allergens, dust, and environmental pollutants from the nasal passages. By helping to remove airborne particles and pathogens like viruses and bacteria, it contributes to a cleaner nasal environment, reducing the likelihood of cold symptoms taking hold.
Soothing Hydration for Dryness: Provides essential moisture to dry, irritated nasal membranes, a common issue during colds, in dry climates, or due to air conditioning. This soothing hydration alleviates discomfort, helps prevent crusting, and restores the natural moisture balance within the nose, promoting healthier nasal tissue.
Effective Congestion and Runny Nose Relief: Assists in thinning thick nasal mucus, making it easier to clear congested nasal passages. By promoting the natural drainage of secretions, it effectively helps relieve a blocked nose and reduces excessive nasal discharge, improving airflow and allowing for clearer breathing.
Supports Natural Cold Defence: Regular nasal rinsing with Avalon Salinose contributes to maintaining the integrity of the nasal lining, which is your first line of defence against airborne threats. By keeping the nasal passages clean and moist, it supports the body's natural immune function in the respiratory tract, potentially lessening the duration or severity of common cold symptoms.
Safe for Regular Use: Unlike medicated decongestants, this non-addictive saline formulation can be used frequently without the risk of rebound congestion. It is an ideal solution for daily nasal care and can be integrated into your routine for sustained respiratory comfort and protection.
Why Choose Avalon Salinose Cold Defence?
Early Intervention: Ideally used at the first "tickle" in the back of the throat or the first sneeze to stop a cold in its tracks.
High-Risk Protection: Perfect for use before entering high-risk areas like schools, airplanes, or crowded shopping malls in Riyadh or Jeddah.
Non-Drowsy & Non-Addictive: Safe for daily use during cold and flu season as it contains no decongestants that cause rebound congestion.
How to Use
For maximum protection, apply 2 to 3 sprays per nostril, up to 4 times a day. Avoid tilting your head back during application; keep your head upright to allow the microgel to coat the nasal walls effectively.
For adults and children over a certain age (please refer to product packaging for specific age guidelines):
1. Gently blow your nose to clear any mucus before use.
2. Remove the protective cap from the spray nozzle.
3. Before the first application, prime the pump by spraying a few times into the air until a fine mist appears.
4. Tilt your head slightly forward and insert the nozzle into one nostril. Keep the bottle upright.
5. Spray 1-2 times while gently inhaling through the nostril.
6. Repeat the process for the other nostril.
7. After each use, wipe the nozzle clean with a tissue and replace the protective cap.
8. Use 2-3 times daily, or as often as needed, particularly during cold seasons or when experiencing nasal discomfort. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional.
