HayMax Organic Drug-Free Allergy Barrier Review and Giveaway

I prefer to avoid medicine unless absolutely necessary, especially when it comes to my children, so I'll always take a more natural option if possible. HayMax is a transparent balm which aims to catch pollen and other allergens, preventing them from entering your body.

I have been sent the 5 different HayMax barrier balms to try. All are organic and very natural. HayMax Pure and HayMax Kids contain only 2 ingredients - Sunflower Oil and Beeswax - and are safe for people of all ages.

The other 3 varieties are lightly scented with  Frankincense, Aloe Vera and Lavender. They are suitable for anyone other than small babies, including pregnant women and youngsters. All varieties are non-drowsy and drug-free.

The balm is rubbed around your nostrils and can also be used under your eyes, where it catches  allergens before they enter your body. Particles from dust, animals and plants stick to the balm. You need to reapply regularly and after blowing your nose.

The packaging is great, minimal and recyclable. These tiny pots will fit into any bag or pocket and are pretty cute.

The balm isn't irritating or itchy and I was a bit concerned as to whether I'd look funny, but it's virtually invisible. Certainly a lot more subtle than vaseline or vapour rubs. I've used it quite a lot and no-one has noticed, so it works for me.

I'd judge that my nose is bothering me less, but I have mainly found my eyes are a lot less runny, although I've only used the balm around my nostrils. It's made a real difference in my opinion. I've struggled to read or watch TV later at night because of sore eyes and that's definitely improved.

I'm a big fan of natural when possible and HayMax fits the bill. At £6.99 each, or 3 for £13.98, HayMax represents an investment, but each tiny 5ml pot should help you for a whole hayfever season, so compared to the cost of cut price over the counter anti-histamines, it is very good value.

HayMax is available to buy from chemists and online from the HayMax website, where you can also find out more and take advantage of their 3 for 2 offer.

HayMax have kindly offered one of my readers the VIP pack that I was sent, with a 5ml pot of each of the 5 varieties of HayMax. To enter the giveaway, use the Gleam form below. No entries are mandatory and if you haven't used Gleam before, there's a 'how to' on my Giveaways page...
