Xlear and Spry

Xlear Inc. manufactures xylitol-based products designed for proactive health through oral and nasal hygiene. Founded in 2000 by Nathan Jones to commercialize his father Dr. Lon Jones' xylitol nasal spray formulation, the company operates two primary brands: Xlear for sinus care and Spry for oral care. Both product lines leverage xylitol, a naturally occurring sugar alcohol, as the active ingredient to support respiratory and dental health without pharmaceutical intervention.

The Xlear nasal hygiene line includes a patented xylitol saline spray, neti pot, sinus rinse, and kid-friendly formulations. The spray works by reducing tissue inflammation, opening airways, and preventing bacteria and contaminants from adhering to nasal tissues. Xlear Rescue extends the line with essential oils and herbal supplements like pau d'arco, oregano, eucalyptus, and tea tree oil for stronger seasonal support. The Spry oral care system comprises toothpaste, gum, mints, oral rinse, and mouth spray, all formulated with xylitol to reduce cavity-causing bacteria adhesion and support enamel health. Spry products avoid questionable ingredients like triclosan and sodium lauryl sulfate, instead using natural formulations with ingredients like EnamelMax for enamel remineralization.

Xlear Inc. also produces natural sweeteners: XyloSweet, which is pure xylitol with 40% fewer calories than sugar, and Lite&Sweet, a blend of erythritol and xylitol with 75% fewer calories. Both are zero-carbohydrate options suitable for cooking and baking. The company positions itself around Benjamin Franklin's principle that prevention is more valuable than cure, emphasizing transformational hygiene as a foundation for proactive health rather than reactive treatment.
