About Care Olive Oil Ear Drops
The gentlest way to deal with earwax, and the one pharmacists and GPs suggest first: a few drops of olive oil soften and loosen hardened wax so the ear can clear itself naturally. Care's 10ml bottle comes with a dropper for easy, accurate use. No fizzing, no stinging — just patience.
Why oil first
Impacted wax is usually dry and hard; softening it is half the battle. Olive oil drops over several days can be all that's needed, and if syringing or microsuction is still required, well-softened wax makes it quicker and kinder. Many GP practices now insist on a week of oil before any wax removal appointment.
How to use
Warm the bottle in your hands, tilt your head, and use the dropper to put two or three drops into the ear as directed on the pack, staying tilted for a few minutes. Repeat two or three times a day for up to a week, or as your pharmacist advises. The wax often works its way out on its own.
Good to know
Never use with a perforated eardrum, ear pain, discharge, or after ear surgery — check with a pharmacist or GP if unsure. Cotton buds push wax deeper; leave them in the drawer. Hearing that doesn't improve after a week's drops deserves a GP or ear-care clinic visit.

Frequently asked questions
How long before the wax clears?
Use the drops two or three times daily for up to a week. Wax often works out on its own; if not, softened wax makes professional removal much easier.
Can I use them if my ear hurts?
No — pain, discharge, or a known perforated eardrum mean no drops until a pharmacist or GP has checked the ear.
Olive oil drops or sodium bicarbonate drops?
Olive oil is gentler and suits most people. Bicarbonate drops work faster on stubborn wax but can dry the ear canal — ask us which suits you.
