Frequently asked questions

How long do smelling salts last? (Spoiler: Ours last forever!)

The truth: Ours last forever.

While competitors’ salts weaken within months (1-4 months typically), our lab-grade formula maintains full, undiminished potency indefinitely when stored properly.

Why we’re unmatched:

  • Never expires – One purchase lasts a lifetime.
  • Athlete-grade consistency – Pure, filler-free formula never weakens.
  • Scientifically proven – Lab-tested for maximum, predictable strength.

Permanent potency. Champion’s choice.

Almost all of our customers report that smelling salts do not cause them any side effects. When smelled too close, ammonia gas can irritate the nasal mucosa or eyes.

However, the undersigned has noticed mild irritation of the nasal mucosa after 6 months of daily use, which improved with a break in use.

If you have any diseases affecting the respiratory tract or heart, discuss the matter with your doctor before using smelling salts.
