WHIPPANY, N.J., Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Being a parent comes with many surprises — including how often there's a need to comfort a child's dry and uncomfortable nasal passages. The nose requires a certain level of moisture to stay healthy. Hot, dry climates, low humidity, as well as air conditioning, can all lead to dryness in the nose, which can be tough on infants and children. The makers of hydraSense® are pleased to introduce the hydraSense® daily nasal care line to the U.S. market, offering soothing, drug-free saline nasal care solutions for infants and children six months of age and older.

hydraSense® hydrates and soothes dry and uncomfortable nasal passages and can be used along with oral cold or allergy OTC medications. The drug-free children's daily nasal care line consists of preservative free, ready-to-use products including hydraSense® Ultra-Gentle Nasal Mist, hydraSense® Nasal Care Single-Use Vials and hydraSense^TM Soft Comfort Tip Nasal Aspirator. While most brands of saline nasal care are made from purified water and sodium chloride, hydraSense® saline solution is made with mineral-rich, 100% naturally sourced seawater from the Bay of Saint-Malo, France, whose powerful tides constantly renew the seawater's composition. Now, parents everywhere can take care of their children's nasal care needs and "Sea. The Difference." with hydraSense®.

"We recognize that more and more parents are searching for drug-free remedies to address their children's delicate nasal passages. The hydraSense® children's daily nasal care line provides a portfolio of gentle drug-free products for parents to sooth their child's nasal passages, with ingredients that are naturally sourced," said Dr. André Schmidt, V.P. U.S. Medical Affairs at Bayer Consumer Health. "We're pleased to invite parents across the U.S. to discover the benefits of hydraSense® in soothing the discomfort and nasal dryness of their families."

Parents can visit hydraSense.com for more information about the hydraSense® drug-free daily nasal care line. hydraSense® can only be purchased at local Walgreens stores or walgreens.com. The hydraSense® children's products can be found in the Children's Medicine aisle.
