Euky Bearub Questions & Answers

Hi Amanda
As a therapeutic product, we can't guarantee any therapeutic effect after the expiry date unfortunately. Also, since we don't test on animals (or humans!) we're not sure if the expired ingredients will cause skin irritation or not. While it may be fine, we'd probably advise not to use it just to be on the safe side.
Kind Regards, Euky Bear.

Hi Sarah
Only active ingredients are required to be listed on the pack. The base is parraffin wax, which we're happy to let people know if asked. Hope this helps. Kind Regards, Euky Bear

Euky Bearub has a pharmaceutical grade paraffin as its base, otherwise known as petroleum jelly.
Kind Regards, Euky Bear.

Hi subarna
Euky Bearub is suitable from 12+ months, however many parents have used it on baby's feet with no issues. You could also pop some on a tissue and tuck it into the cot, or rub it on the outside of baby's singlet.
If you've already used it on your baby, no need to worry. Euky Bearub has been around for over 40 years and it's only in the past couple of years the labelling laws have changed to 12+ months - our formula is the same and we've had no issues all that time :)
Kind Regards, Euky Bear.

Hi Pia
We have never recommended Euky Bear around the nostrils or anywhere on the face. This is because the ingredients, including eucalyptus oil and menthol, can be irritating or inflammatory to the eyes or the delicate mucous membranes inside the nose. We are required to include these warnings on our product information.
If you have no issues, and are happy to continue doing so that's fine - but if you do experience any discomfort or irritation please flush with water and discontinue.
Kind Regards, Euky Bear

Hi John
Flush with water, and seek medical assistance if irritation or discomfort continues.
Kind Regards, Euky Bear.

Hi there Netty
Euky Bearub is suitable for use as directed from 12 months. If you already have a tube and would like to use it, you could apply a little on the outside of her singlet on on her socks, but it's 12 months+ for use on skin. Kind Regards, Euky Bear.

Hi Emma,
It shouldn't be a problem. Euky Bearub is a gentle formula and if she never had skin reactions from Bearub previously, she is unlikely to show any new symptoms now, even if it is out of date. If you have any concerns you could always see a pharmacist or doctor, but it is highly unlikely there will be an issue.
Kind Regards, Euky Bear.

Hi Emily

Hope this helps! Kind Regards,

Hi dmm,
Yes, Euky Bearub is suitable for all ages. However, we usually recommend for babies under 12 months to apply it to the outside of their singlet, just because some small bubs can be sensitive to the essential oils directly on their skin.
Kind Regards, Euky Bear.

Hi Palagi,
It would be nice if it worked like that! But Euky Bearub won't prevent colds.... no product can, as colds and flu are caused by viruses. It can only help comfort and soothe when he's already sick. We'd recommend frequent hand washing, a healthy nutritious diet, keeping surfaces clean at home and avoiding contact with children and adults who have colds as the best defence against illness.
Of course, if your son enjoys the smell of Euky Bearub there is no reason you can't use it every night just for the nice aroma!
Good luck & Kind Regards,
Euky Bear.

Hi Shefali,
Euky Bearub is suitable for all ages, however for babies under 12 months old we recommend dabbing it on the outside of their singlet rather than directly on skin, just as a precaution because some newborn's skin can be sensitive to the essential oils. Hope this helps, any further questions please give us a call on 1800 655 841.
Kind Regards, Euky Bear.

Hi Shar, sadly no, we don't have distribution for Euky Bear in Canada and no immediate plans to. You may however, be able to purchase it through an Australian online chemist who offers international shipping. Try Chemist Warehouse... www.chemistwarehouse.com.au. Kind Regards, Euky Bear.

Hi Peiyi, Euky Bearub is technically suitable for all ages (and there's no requirement for an age recommendation on the box), however we like to think of ourselves as a responsible company and anecdotally,we've found some babies do find it too strong. Newborn baby skin can be very sensitive, so in all our website and marketing materials we usually recommend to use on baby's singlet under the age of 2. Ultimately it is up to you to decide, however for a baby that young, we would suggest a steam vaporiser is the best treatment for colds, Euky Bear has one which you should be able to find at your local pharmacy, or online at www.eukybear.com.au. It's a good investment and has a 5 year warranty. Call us if you need any more info - 1800 655 841. Hope this helps! Euky Bear.

Hi Ash - that's great advice from Pseudonorm above. A Euky Bear singlet sandwich! Love it. We don't recommend Euky Bearub be used directly on the skin under 2 years old, not necessarily because it's harmful but the product does contain menthol and essential oils and baby's delicate skin can be very sensitive. Ultimately it's up to you, but if using Euky Bearub on younger babies, please be sure to just use a small amount and observe carefully. Another option to help the sniffles is to use the Euky Bear Steam Vaporiser running in the room overnight. The warm steam helps open up the airways and make the mucous thinner so it's easier to expel - it's all natural and safe for all ages too.

Hi brian, sorry for the late response - assume you're over your cold already! Euky Bearub is available at most pharmacies, or online at www.eukybear.com.au.

It's also in Coles, in the medicinal aisle. Hope this helps :)
