This Cann-Ease Nasal Moisturiser is a popular product in the USA and is suitable for use in the nasal passages, lips and skin,  and oxygen users will find it helpful for any skin irritation caused by the cannulas.  There is nothing in the ingredients that is unsafe for breathing or mask and oxygen cannula damage.  In fact the product was developed by Dr. Tony E. Jones, Professor at the University of Colorado, who also formulated other branded products such as Blistex® and Clearasil® but this particular product is manufactured primarily for CPAP, BiPAP, non-invasive ventilator and oxygen patients.

The gel is water-based and the 1oz (25g) tube goes a long way and when applied inside the nasal passages it should not leave a sticky residue. 

For use in the nasal passages this is especially beneficial to people who use nasal pillows types of mask that go inside the nostrils, oxygen users and also for anyone troubled by the hairs in the nose causing a tickling sensation, to minimise this annoying irritation. 

It will also help people who get the 'dreaded itch' on the nose itself which is caused by the air pressure causing the very fine hairs on the skin to move - in which case it is advised to apply the cream liberally without rubbing it right into the skin. 

As well as moisturising and healing the skin, this is a safe product that can be applied to dry lips, with no risk that comes with petroleum jelly products products (like Vaseline or Vicks) which can lead to lipoid pneumonia.

Ingredients...

  • Aloe Vera Gel... has a long, well developed history of topical protection from dryness and irritation.
     
  • Allantoin... increases the water binding capacity of skin, helping to protect tissue from desiccation. It also possesses the ability to debride necrotic ( ead) skin and scaly tissue.
     
  • d-Pantothenol... is a precursor to pantothenic acid, a vitamin of the B-complex group. Disturbed function of skin requires higher levels of this vitamin to resist further damage and speed natural repair of tissue.
     
  • Other Ingredients... are designed to buffer the pH to physiological range, stabilize ingredients, and preserve the product from bacterial contamination.  Please note that the product contains no artificial colors, perfumes or petroleum based ingredients and is therefore not contraindicated for use with plastics or rubber materials in nasal cannula tubing or fittings.
     
  • This product is not tested on animals.

 

​Safe...

  • Water-Based Gel – Normal breathing causes the cilia to move, exciting the muscles at the base of the cilia to excrete mucous. Water-insoluble ingredients like dimethicone and organic oils found in other products paralyze the muscles at the base of the cilia and normalmucous excretion is interrupted.
  • Oil Free –Products that contain oils are water-insoluble, presenting a risk of a patient developing Lipoid Pneumonia should the oil molecule reach the lung. Cann-Ease is Oil Free
  • Petroleum Free – Products that contain petroleum ingredients are water-insoluble, presenting a risk of a patient developing Lipoid Pneumonia should the oil molecules reach the lung.  Cann-Ease is Petroleum Free
  • Fragrance Free – Cann-Ease will not cause an allergic reaction to a fragrance.
  • No Coloring – Cann-Ease will not cause an allergic reaction to a food dye. Users prefer using a clear gel.
