What is it ?
It is made from beeswax, essential oil and vegetable, corn or sunflower oil. You can choose from two fragrances Frankincense or Lavender according to personal preference.

And now you can buy HayMax Pure™, voted BEST PRODUCT ORGANIC by the Health Food Institute panel of judges at the Natural Trade Show in Brighton 2006, with no added fragrance. (This version is great for people who don’t like the smells of the essential oils, or who are particularly sensitive.)

HayMax use organic beeswax fromthe rain forest in Zambia, we use organic oils, and according to independent, qualified Aromatherapists, the essential oils are not harmful in the quantities used for HayMax™

The HayMax™ Story
HayMax™ was started by Max Wiseberg, who had suffered from hayfever all his life.

He tried all available remedies for his hay fever with limited or no success, until coming across what later became HayMax™.

It was simple and it worked!

After a couple of years using it successfully, Max had the time to do some research. Very simply, he discovered that the nose is a type of filter. People who suffer from hay fever have a filter that doesn't work properly. Pollen barriers enhance the filter so it works better at removing the pollen. He consulted qualified aromatherapists to ensure the essential oils used would have the best chance of improving the  product without presenting any possible harm. As a result of his research, his consultations and experimentation, he produced a completely natural balm which worked as an effective pollen barrier.

He conducted limited trials, and all respondents say HayMax™ works.

HayMax was featured on ITV This Morning presented by Fern Britton and Phillip Schofield.

As well as going ORGANIC for 2006, HayMax™ has also now been approved by the Vegetarian Society.

HayMax™ does not claim to cure, relieve or help hay fever. It is not a medicine and it is not a drug.  It is a preventative balm made from natural substances. It does not modify or correct physiological functions in human beings.

HayMax™ is safe and is effective. HayMax™ treats the cause and not the symptoms. Unlike pharmaceutical products, HayMax™ has no toxic side effects and no prescription is required.

INGREDIENTS: Organic sunflower oils, (helianthus annuus, organic beeswax (cera flava) and essential oils of either lavender or frankincense in the fragrance versions.

Some Testimonials:
Excellent product for my daughter . Really help itching eyes and blocked nose . She highly recommends Haymax to anyone who suffers with hayfever. Mrs Baldwin

I have only bought one pot of Hay Max - just 'to try' - what can I say I'm 60 had hayfever since 32, norm is anti-histamines all year round - ( I'm allergic to all sorts), eye drops and beconase spray - now goodbye to the latter two - I think very large (thank goodness) sunglasses helped with my eyes but your 'little miracle' is amazing quite amazing, no more sneezing or runny nose, thank you so much for finding the formula! Summer has become a friend again, I don't have to hide indoors! A very happy customer!!!!!!!! Alex Marwing

I am very pleased to say - HayMax really DOES seem to work and I have already recommended it to a number of people. If I start to sneeze or get the sniffles, just applying some more seems to stop it. When I wash my face, my hayfever symptoms seem to re-appear and is proof, in my mind, that HayMax does provide an effective barrier. Steve Brandon

What a great product have returned for more!! Husband and son suffer really badly with hayfever now they don't stop using it as it really helps, thanks. Julia Berry

Just like to say how brilliant your product is. I'm now drug free after taking antihistimines since I was 10! Harriet Notley

4 Ply Extra Soft - Ideal for Sensitive Skins.

Being made from cotton it is much kinder and softer on the skin than wood-based paper which can cause skin irritations (recently many products in this category have added aloe vera which is added to try to reduce skin irritation).

The other major benefit is that it is far less environmentally damaging. Firstly, cotton is an annually harvested crop so it does not require felling of trees. Secondly, to convert wood into paper requires huge amounts of chemical processing which in itself has a significant impact on the environment. Conversely cotton requires virtually no processing and uses no bleaches or other harmful chemicals to convert it into paper. Furthermore because Cotton Soft's raw material is organically grown there are no harmful pesticides or fertilisers used.

These tissues are made entirely from 100% pure natural cotton. Furthermore, the cotton is organically grown so is totally free of chemical pesticides, fertilisers, and bleaches.
