Written by the company

HayMax Organic, Drug-Free Allergen Barrier Balms are formulated to trap pollen, dust allergens and pet allergens before they get in your body. Less allergen, less allergic reaction. This Natural Hay Fever Treatment works on prevention rather than cure. There is no cure for hay fever so stopping the allergen before it gets in makes sense - simple. There are 5 varieties and all are suitable for pregnant & breast feeding women and children who are prone to hay fever and allergies to airborne allergens including mould spores. All varieties are certified organic - saving the planet is important! And the scent free varieties have the Allergy UK Allergy Friendly Product Award. HayMax products have won over 50 awards. That's a lot of awards. Some were judged by panels of experts including doctors, some by experts in the health sector and some by consumers. So that's approval all round. Anti-histamines can make you drowsy, and many people would prefer to avoid the nasal sprays which contain steroids, so organic, drug-free HayMax is a perfect option for them. For those who are happy to use pharmaceutical remedies but find they help but don't do the whole job, using HayMax as well, as part of their "Hay Fever First Aid kit," can work really well. Because it is drug-free, it can be used alongside the other remedies. In a study by Allergy UK 80% of respondents said HayMax works. In a similar study in Australia, only 60 % said anti-histamines worked. Check out the website for lots more information about Hay Fever remedies, allergy treatments and, of course, HayMax products.

Fast and efficient intercontinental delivery and great product!

The transport to the USA was fast and efficient, and the HayMax is brilliant! No fancy chemicals, simply a sticky barrier that works like a charm. Although the transport costs are a bit steep, the price is still well below what local stores ask for. (Amazon $17,95, from you directly £8.49 = $11.17 as of today.)

Give it a try it works for me

I’ve suffered from hay fever all my life and have tried various lotions potions and pills with varying success. Haymax does appear to work. Hurray 😀

I’ve been using the Lavender HayMax every night for a couple of weeks and am delighted with it. It smells gorgeous and is quite soothing last thing at night. I’m perimenopausal and so haven’t been sleeping great for a while. I’ve noticed an improvement since I’ve been using this even though i am using it for the hay fever (could be a coincidence but I’m enjoying it!). I notice when my hayfever is playing up that I wake up very sneezy and with a runny nose. I haven’t had those symptoms in the last couple of weeks. Definitely worth trying HayMax as part of your collection of hayfever remedies!

Hay Max really helps

Hay Max really helps with your hayfever, the Frankenstein flavour was my favourite but the dog ate it ! The dog was fine, not even sick so a credit to the quality of ingredients used. I would recommend haymax, keep a tub in your pocket when you are out do you can re apply if you need too.

The best organic anti-Allergy cream

I have been suffering a lot from allergies for over a year and had multiple visits to the ent specialist giving me unnecessary antibiotics, Allergy tablets and nasal sprays- I was so tired of the chemicals that i just luckily stumbled upon HayMax. I am in love for it- and so grateful to this cream that it has returned my life back. Totally trustworthy.

I love the product and also the speedy shipping and it works very well for me.
I am very disappointed with the best before date which is a short 02/2025 considering it will take me longer to use all three pots I ordered.
The aloe Vera pot I bought in Boots just a week befor I placed this order had a 2027 end date.

Hi Leela, Thanks for your feedback and for taking the time to send it.
I am so sorry you’re disappointed with the best before date - and I totally understand it, too!
This happens because we sell the product through much faster through Boots than we do on our website - so the stock is older.
I see you bought Frankincense which is my favourite, but is not as popular for some reason, so it sells through the slowest of all. The good news is that I am using a frankincense pot with a best before of 2022 - so it will last a long time, especially if you keep it in the fridge till you’re ready to use it.
And if that doesn’t make you happier I will refund you.
We are not here to tip you off but to help. If you’re not happy you can have your money back.
Love
The HayMax team.

Feeling cheated

Feeling cheated! Ordered my haymax from one of your stockist. The small container is just that… when I turned it upside down I discovered the contents are even smaller! That is because the bottom is inverted by half the container’s size! Is this necessary? It’s deceptive.

I’m so sorry you feel cheated. I will refund your money if you still feel cheated after reading this. When we started the business we used cute pots which we could only source in Germany. We then found a local supplier in the Uk. We then discovered that the the German pots had liners in so what looked like a 10 ml pot actually had 5 ml in. The new pots had the indentation in the bottom which you have noticed. Since we had built all the packaging around the German pot which was the same external size as the new British pot we went with it. We felt it was more honest as you can see clearly the real size of the pot whereas the original inner pot was hidden.
And then we moved from oil based plastic to sugar cane material, using up CO2 instead of producing it. At the same time we reduced the amount of material used by over 50%. And now all the packaging is recyclable at the roadside. That made the indentation in the bottom of the pot even more pronounced.

It says 5 ml on the box and it does contain 5ml. And it lasts ages so it works out better value than many other remedies for hayfever.

So it’s a bit of a story how we got to this point, but I hope you can see that it was all driven by positive motivation.
We are a small business and we care about the planet, our reputation and our customers. We don’t make excessive profit - in fact we only just make a profit at all. And we are a corporate sponsor of Allergy UK, the main UK charity involved in allergy.
So we are not trying to rip you off or deceive you.
If you want a refund then contact me at max@haymax.biz with a photo of your receipt and I will refund you.
But I hope you understand where we’re coming from and I hope HayMax is as much of a help for you as it has been for so many others.
Love,
Max.

Swift delivery

Delivery was fast and purchase process was simple. Product seems to be effective, however my severe hayfever hasn't kicked in yet, so we'll see. Good to be prepared, though!
