About NasalGuard

What is NasalGuard Airborne Particle Blocker?

NasalGuard® Airborne Particle Blocker is an invisible, drug-free gel applied around the outside of the nostrils and above the upper lip to help reduce inhalation of everyday airborne particles such as pollen, dust and pet dander.

How does NasalGuard work?

NasalGuard is built on positive ion technology. The gel carries a positive charge and creates an invisible gel barrier around the outside of the nostrils, designed to help reduce contact with everyday airborne particles such as pollen, dust, pet dander and pollution.

Does NasalGuard work?

NasalGuard is designed to help reduce inhalation of everyday airborne particles. It doesn't change the air around you. Instead, it adds a simple barrier step right at the outside of your nose. Use it as directed and reapply when needed. You can also read what customers say on our reviews page.

NasalGuard Antiseptic Topical Gel contains benzalkonium chloride (0.13%), an antiseptic, to decrease bacteria on skin, and is also made with our patented Positive Ion Technology.
