Company DescriptionAfter reading the extensive research done in Finland about the benefits of xylitol, Dr. Lon Jones developed a xylitol nasal spray to treat his patients with persistent upper-respiratory infections. He successfully treated his granddaughter’s ear infections, and soon began dispensing the solution to other patients with ear, nose, and throat issues. The results were astounding. In 2000, Nathan Jones, Dr. Jones’ son, founded Xlear Inc. in order to make the nasal spray commercially available.

Since the company formed in 2000, Xlear Inc. has been recognized as the leading manufacturer of xylitol-based products in North America. The company’s goal is simple: to provide simple and cost-effective prevention. Xlear Inc. is committed to providing natural, health-enhancing products based on the safety, effectiveness, and science of xylitol. From the beginning, Xlear Inc. has been the industry leader, providing the newest innovations in drug-free sinus care in the natural channels and FDM channels. Xlear Inc. has also developed an oral care product line, branded as Spry. With its natural formulations, it is a category leader in natural channels.
