In case you missed the freezing cold morning\u2019s memo, it\u2019s winter in WA.<\/p>\n

Days are getting cooler, half the office (or the household) is starting to sound suspiciously congested, and suddenly you\u2019re breathing through your mouth reaching for whatever\u2019s in the medicine cabinet.<\/p>\n

For a lot of us, nasal inhalers and chest rubs are products we\u2019ve grown up with. But while more people are reading labels and swapping synthetic ingredients out of their skincare, food and household products, the same scrutiny rarely extends to what we reach for when we\u2019re feeling run down. The vapour rub sitting in most medicine cabinets has barely changed in decades, and most of us have never questioned what\u2019s actually in it.<\/p>\n

Enter Etto<\/a>: a WA-based natural protection brand built around the idea that staying closer to nature\u2019s original potency produces better results. Their formulations are evidence-informed and built on nature\u2019s most active compounds \u2013 so what\u2019s on the label is exactly what\u2019s inside.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was something seriously wrong with one of Australia\u2019s most popular products,\u201d says founder Andrea Horwood. \u201cEtto felt compelled to fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Forest Lungs<\/a> is Etto\u2019s petroleum-free, plant-based respiratory range, designed for those moments when winter catches up with you. The hero product is the just-launched Vapour Stick \u2013 a natural reimagining of the classic chest rub, free from petroleum and powered by ETTO\u2019s superior cineole rich eucalyptus, grown and steam extracted in WA. It\u2019s been reimagined into a go-anywhere stick designed for travel.<\/p>\n

Also in the Forest Lungs range, the Forest Lungs Nasal Inhaler<\/a> takes the same approach to congestion relief \u2013 built around pure botanical ingredients including Blue Mallee Eucalyptus, sustainably grown on Wajarri Country and steam-distilled to preserve the potency of 1,8-Cineole, the naturally occurring compound that gives eucalyptus its unmistakable character.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Both products are available at ettoaustralia.com<\/a>, and the safe travel Jet Set Kit <\/a>brings them all together if you\u2019d like the full range on hand before the worst of winter arrives.<\/p>\n
