Best Thing for a Raw Nose During Cold & Flu Season

The fall cold and flu season is rolling in, and with it comes one of the worst annoyances: a raw, chafed nose. If you’ve been searching for raw nose relief, you’re not alone.

Marcy shared her experience with Glowstick, our zinc oxide solid moisturizer:

"I just suffered through 2 weeks of the flu—despite ALL my good habits. Your lotion stick helped my poor chafed nose and lips that were red and raw.

 

It has helped me heal so much over the last week, as I am finally on the mend and not blowing my nose quite as much. Thanks a million again, for putting your heart into such a great product!"

Since Glowstick is currently not in production, we recommend the next best thing - Bedrock Balm. With 20% zinc oxide plus botanicals like jojoba oil, calendula, and chamomile, it hydrates and calms while creating a gentle barrier.

Q: Can Bedrock Balm help with a red, sore nose from blowing it too much when I’m sick?
A: Yes! Bedrock Balm is formulated with zinc oxide and soothing botanicals that calm irritation, soothe redness, and help your skin recover faster.

Q: How do I use Bedrock Balm on a raw nose?
A: Apply a thin layer to the irritated area as often as needed. The balm creates a gentle protective barrier so tissues don’t rub as harshly and skin has a chance to rejuvinate.

A: No, it’s designed to be gentle. Customers often say it feels soothing right away, even on tender, chafed areas.

Q: Can I use Bedrock Balm anywhere else while I’m sick?
A: Definitely. Many people apply it on cracked lips, dry patches, or irritated skin around the mouth and chin that comes with colds or allergies.

Q: Why is zinc oxide good for raw noses?
A: Zinc oxide provides barrier protection so redness can rebalance. Combined with natural oils in Bedrock Balm, it hydrates while shielding skin from further irritation.
