Olbas – the nation’s favourite decongestant oil1 – is extending its trusted decongestant range with the launch of a new Anti Allergy Nasal Spray. An innovative, dual-action solution, suitable for adults and children aged 6 and over, that both prevents and relieves the symptoms of hay fever and other allergies experienced by millions of people in the UK2.
With a unique blend of hypertonic saline, soothing aloe vera, and natural essential oils, one spray in each nostril, up to three times a day offers allergy suffers soothing relief from symptoms. The spray not only relieves symptoms, but helps prevent them too by creating a protective barrier over the nasal passages, preventing the contact of allergen. As a result, the Anti Allergy Nasal Spray prevents allergy symptoms of sneezing, congestion and an itchy nose before they take hold, while also providing effective relief once the first signs appear.
With the sales value of OTC hay fever products reaching an all-time high of £197m in 20243, and hay fever sufferers predicted to rise to 31.8 million by 2030 in the UK alone4, having a strong allergy range will be a necessity for pharmacies and retailers, particularly for the spring and summer seasons.
Nasal sprays lead the charge in value share by format due to offering a convenient application format that provides immediate relief. Retailers and pharmacies who are able to provide this as part of their core seasonal allergy relief offering will perform well.
Rachel Realf, Brand Manager for Olbas, says:
“Our Olbas range has always been about providing comfort and relief to the whole family wherever and whenever it’s needed most. With seasonal allergies looking to rise, and nasal spray formats proving to be incredibly popular amongst consumers, we wanted to develop a product that brings the trusted relief of Olbas to more customers. Olbas Anti Allergy Nasal Spray is designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life, providing quick and effective relief on the go or at home, whilst keeping noses feeling fresh and comfortable.”
Olbas Anti Allergy Nasal Spray will be available online and at Boots this spring, RRP £6.99 (20ml).
