Zarbee’s Soothing Saline Nasal Mist is a 3-ounce pressurized system that combines an isotonic saline solution with aloe. The unit uses a nitrogen-propelled delivery method which helps prevent the oxygen-degradation of the aloe extract over time. The formula is buffered to a pH range of 6.2 to 7.2, ensuring it remains material-safe for the internal polyethylene liner and gentle on nasal tissues. The chassis is a standard aluminum canister designed for pressure retention during travel.
The Polypropylene (PP) actuator head features a precision 0.2mm bore orifice designed for a "gentle touch" application. However, because the aloe-infused solution has a higher viscosity than plain saline, there is a risk of "salt-bridging" or clogging if the nozzle is not cleaned regularly. If the mist begins to feel like a heavy stream, it often indicates a buildup within the orifice that requires a warm water rinse.
The internal 302 stainless steel spring is built to provide consistent tension, though it may experience fatigue after extensive use. As this is a multi-material product (plastic, metal, and aluminum), it is generally not suitable for standard curbside recycling programs. The hermetic seal ensures the product remains sterile without the need for traditional pharmaceutical preservatives.
The nitrogen propellant used in this system ensures the mist feels less cold than CO2-based mists, which may help with child compliance.
If you prefer a simpler formulation without aloe for basic congestion, the Boogie Baby Unscented Mist is a comparable alternative with the same delivery style.
