Gentle wax softening – With medical grade olive oil

Medical grade olive oil is produced to meet specific purity, quality and safety standards for ear use and acts as an emollient to soften and lubricate hardened cerumen. Softening reduces adhesion of wax to the canal lining, allowing natural expulsion or easier removal.

Softer wax can often be wiped away or will come away naturally, reducing discomfort and the sensation of fullness in the ear.

Simple home application – With a dropper applicator

Dropper applicator delivers a controlled dose of two to three drops directly into the ear canal; allow a few minutes for the oil to work and wipe away any surplus with a tissue. Treatment may be repeated once or twice daily.

Quick and straightforward routine fits into daily care and suits people who prefer a non-invasive, at-home approach.

Easier professional removal – Thanks to improved lubrication

Lubrication from the olive oil loosens hardened wax, assisting clinicians during syringing or microsuction by reducing wax firmness and adhesion. The product is part of a five-product ear wax treatment range used to prepare ears for professional cleaning where necessary.

Loosened wax can shorten clinic appointments and reduce discomfort during professional removal techniques.
