Anyone used this non-prescription Canadian nose moisturizer (comes in both a
gel and a spray)? It's main active ingredients seem to be propylene glycol
and polyethylene glycol (sp?), so it is different than a saline spray, I
think it is supposed to coat the inside of the nose to keep it more moist.

Not available (as far as I've seen) from local pharmacies here in the US, so
one would have to order it online, with shipping charges added, etc. So, one
wonders if it's worth a try.

Info on it at:

www.rhinaris.com

I doubt that the gel would be that much better than other such gels and
creams that are available locally, such as Ayr Gel and Nose Better gel. The
thing about the gels though, is that they just coat the front of the nose,
as far as you can stick your finger in (sorry for the imagery ;-) ) with it.
A spray might go further back, I wonder if it would actually coat the
sinuses.

Well--if anyone reading has tried it, I'd be curious to hear how it has
worked for you.

I noticed on the web (haven't yet seen it in a local store, although it may
be in some, probably coming soon), that Ayr has a new spray with propylene
glycol as well. Not their usual saline squeeze bottle, but a pump type
bottle--also with glycerin, aloe vera, soybean oil, etc., and I think even
cetylpyridium chloride (sp?). I don't know if it has a similar concentration
of propylene glycol to what Rhinaris has, or just a little bit mixed in with
the other ingredients. It's called "Ayr Saline Nasal Gel, No-Drip Sinus
Spray" Some info on it here:
