What they say:
“Hay fever? Dust or Pet Allergy? Award-winning HayMax Kids allergen barrier balm has been proven to trap over a third of pollen before it enters your child's body, in addition to dust and pet allergens. The non-drowsy balm is gently applied around the rim of the nostrils with a finger. It's simple to apply, non invasive and is made with simple, organic ingredients that have been selected to be suitable from birth. In a survey by Allergy UK, when asked if overall HayMax worked, 80% of respondents said 'Yes'. Prevention really is key with allergy and HayMax offers just that!”

Would you recommend HayMax Kids Barrier Balm to other mums?
I would without a shadow of a doubt recommend this product to other mothers. My whole family suffers with hayfever. Myself (23) My parter (31) my step son (4) and I also have a 1 month old son who I also tested this product on. We have all found this has made a massive difference and as a mum I love a natural remedy and like to avoid medicating the children where possible.
How did this product make your life easier?
This has been a great help with my 4 year old step son who suffered terribly with hayfever. Before using this product we would wrestle every morning for a good 15 minutes to put eye drops in from the doctor as his eyes where so itchy and sore. Using the HayMax Kids Barrier Balm has improved his hayfever so much the eye drops are no longer needed!

I would choose the HayMax Kids Barrier Balm above all other products as it has worked miracles for our family! I used this product for over a week before writing the review but we saw an instant change in my step son. I will certainly be buying more!
What changes would you make to this product?
I wouldn't change a thing about the HayMax Kids Barrier Balm it has worked so well for my whole family. I will be buying this by the truck load. I don't like to medicate my children if it's not necessary and I now have a natural hayfever cure for my boys! This has been the answer to my prayers!

Would you recommend HayMax Kids Barrier Balm to other mums?
It is quick and simple to apply and safe for use even on newborns or whilst pregnant. The product is sold in a very small plastic tub which can easily be taken out with you when on the move, in your pocket or baby bag. The bright packaging is designed to appeal to kids. It's also safe for kids to self-administer as its's drug-free. It's a fab product for anyone with allergies - it's easy to use and effective. We've tried it out on the whole family!
How did this product make your life easier?
It's very quick and easy to apply. Because the product comes in such a small tub, it's fantastic for using when out and about on the move as you can just throw it in your pocket and go. It's also very effective - I found it to be very helpful for hayfever allergies. As it is made from completely natural ingredients, I would also feel safe using it on my newborn.
Would you choose this product to win?
It is undoubtedly a fantastic natural product. The balm is made from organically grown natural ingredients - sunflower oil and beeswax - and according to the packaging is even approved by the Vegetarian Society and the Soil Association. It is effective, easy to use and great for the whole family. Given the tiny amount needed to be effective, the tub is likely to last a long time, even though it's only 5mls so it's pretty good value for money too.
What changes would you make to this product?
Whilst it is lovely to use such a natural balm with minimal ingredients, I would have liked to have tried a scented version of the balm. HayMax Kids Barrier Balm is colour-free and perfume-free but it would be lovely to try the balm with a soothing or a refreshing scent, for example menthol, lemon or eucalyptus.

We loved that HayMax Kids Barrier Balm is 100% organic, drug free and non drowsy, no nasties for my baby! It comes in a little pot which is easily stored with baby's toiletries and is easily applied to the nostril area with your finger, my baby now giggles when we apply after face wash morning and evening. We do not need to worry about using too much and the product is safe to use from birth.
How did this product make your life easier?
As a family of allergy sufferers it was likely that baby would be too. Baby does sneeze an awful lot, whether pet or dust allergy or hay fever we do not know, but when regularly using HayMax Kids Barrier Balm sneezing appears to be reduced. The pot is small which makes it ideal for taking out and about as well as keeping at home and is therefore always to hand whenever needed or wherever we are!
Would you choose this product to win?
I think HayMax Kids Barrier Balm is fab! I love the concept, 100% organic, natural ingredients of sunflower and honey. A product that is safe to use to help children of all ages, from birth, with the symptoms of allergies. Simple yet effective without the use of drugs and is non drowsy. It works, what's not to like?!
What changes would you make to this product?
There is nothing I would change about HayMax Kids Barrier Balm. We love the design, the size, the ingredients, the smell, the ease of use, that it is organic and safe, that it can be used from birth and for all the family, that it is non drowsy and drug free. We love that it is easily researched and widely recommended.

The design of this product couldn't be better for babies, a simple balm that just needs to be rubbed around their little noses. It is a small pot that can be carried around in the changing bag without taking up excessive amounts of room. As it’s a balm it will last a very long time making it very good value for money.
How did this product make your life easier?
Having this product to hand meant that I didn't have to worry about hayfever affecting my baby whilst we were out and about over the summer. As a hayfever suffer I also put a bit on my own nose when the pollen count was high.

The thing I like most about HayMax Kids Barrier Balm is that it's natural & I don't have to worry about using it on my 3 month old son.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would highly recommend HayMax Kids Barrier Balm to other mums who have children that suffer with allergies. My 5 year old little girl suffers badly with all season hayfever, however, it is worse in the summer. We always find it difficult to get her to take tablets or liquid. HayMax Kids Barrier Balm was excellent, as all you need to do is to rub a little on to the end of your child’s nose and that is it done. It is really easy to apply, is mess free and is small and easy to put in your pocket to take with you.
How did this product make your life easier?
There is no fighting with children trying to get them to take medication orally. It takes a small amount of this balm rubbed on to the end of your child’s nose. The only down side, is that it does need reapplying quite often, however, is small and easy to take with you.

The instructions that came with the balm were also easy to understand and my five year old was able to understand them and read them herself. This balm was also extremely easy to use, and i wasn't scared of letting my little girl apply it herself.
