The Xlear Kid's Nasal Spray is a 0.75-ounce unit that uses a mechanical pump to deliver a metered 0.1ml dose. The chassis is made of High-Density Polypropylene (PP), a material chosen for its chemical resistance, especially when paired with a xylitol-saline solution. The spray tip is a precision-molded component with a soft-radius tip, designed to act as a physical safeguard against mucosal trauma. Xylitol is included as a surfactant to help reduce the ability of bacteria to adhere to the nasal lining.
Because this is a metered pump rather than a squeeze bottle, it provides a consistent volume of mist with every press. However, the practical reality of a xylitol-based formula is that the sugar-alcohol content can crystallize if the bottle is left unused for several days. If the pump feels resistant, an initial "prime" of 2 to 3 sprays away from the face will usually clear the aperture and restore a fine mist.
The non-medicated formula is built for frequent use without the risk of the "rebound" congestion associated with some over-the-counter decongestants. It is worth noting that younger children may not have the grip strength required to activate the pump independently, so adult administration is usually required. Keeping the cap tight is a necessary step to prevent the tip from clogging over time.
Xylitol is a functional additive that helps maintain moisture longer than plain saline alone.
If you are looking for a larger volume of xylitol-based spray for the whole family, the Xlear Adult & Kids pack offers the same formula in a slightly different nozzle configuration.
For better bathroom organization, toothbrush and toothpaste holders can often be used to store upright nasal sprays, keeping them within reach for morning routines.
