Oasis announced the launch of its new brand, Oasis Nasal Spray and Wash, in March at the ECRM Cough, Cold and Allergy show in Destin, Fla.

Created by ear, nose and throat specialist Dr. Scott Cordray, Oasis nasal products treat nasal irritation for an anti-inflammatory effect in the nasal passages and wash out allergens.

The brand has been the subject of three major studies analyzing its effectiveness on nasal swelling and irritation, and was proven stronger than other saline products, according to the company.

With natural ingredients, the key to Oasis is its use of Dead Sea salt. Oasis products do not contain any BKC and studies show that the Oasis does not cause harm to the cilia or irritate the nasal membranes.
