How does this ointment differ from an ordinary inhaler balm, and why is this particular form needed? — Nasal ointment Menthol & Eucalyptus 6ml - Reveliko

A classic inhaler stick or balm stick is intended primarily for inhaling the aroma – it is held to the nose but, as a rule, is not applied to the skin. The ointment works differently: it stays on the skin, moisturising and softening it at the same time, and still gives the same cooling effect of menthol and eucalyptus with every breath.

This is especially relevant when the skin around the nose is irritated – from frequent nose blowing, dry indoor air or wind outdoors. In such a situation a simple inhaler will not help the skin recover, whereas an ointment based on shea butter and jojoba wax also nourishes and protects the irritated area.

Vitamin E in the composition is a common antioxidant ingredient of cosmetic formulas, often included specifically in products for sensitive or irritated skin.

The 6 ml format is compact: such a pack easily fits into a pocket or a make-up bag and is handy when travelling.
