Elshaw Natural Adhesive Remover 60ml
For anyone who removes medical adhesives regularly — whether that's a CGM sensor, insulin pump site, HRT patch, medical dressing, or K-tape — the quality of the removal product matters enormously. Done without help, adhesive removal can leave skin red, sore, and irritated over time. Elshaw was designed to change that.
It's a naturally derived spray from New Zealand, formulated with witch hazel, aloe vera, chamomile extract, and lemon oil. Spray it along the adhesive edge, give it 1–2 minutes, and the adhesive lifts away cleanly. No stinging, no harsh solvent smell, no skin redness from scrubbing. The formula is gentle enough for children's daily use and for people with fragile, sensitive, or repeatedly compromised skin — common among those managing long-term medical conditions.
Elshaw is particularly useful for: people with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes using CGMs or insulin pumps, people using HRT patches, wound care patients managing regular dressings, and anyone whose skin needs protection from repeated adhesive trauma.
The 60ml bottle provides approximately 400 sprays with a 3-year shelf life. No rinsing required. For NDIS participants, consumables that support daily living and personal care may be claimable — check with your plan manager or support coordinator for eligibility.

What is Elshaw?
Elshaw is a naturally derived adhesive remover spray made in New Zealand. It's designed to dissolve medical adhesives gently — without stinging, burning, or requiring scrubbing. It works for CGM sensors, insulin pump sites, HRT patches, medical tape, dressings, bandages, and sticky residue. Created by a mum who needed a gentler solution for her daughter's daily diabetes device changes.
What can I use Elshaw on?
Elshaw works on: continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensors, insulin pump adhesives, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) patches, medical tape and dressings, bandages, and general adhesive residue on skin. It's used regularly by families managing Type 1 diabetes, people using HRT patches, and health professionals working with patients who need repeated medical adhesive removal.
How do I use Elshaw?
Shake well, then spray 3–5 pumps onto the adhesive or surrounding skin. Wait 1–2 minutes — don't rush this step, it's what makes removal comfortable. Gently peel the adhesive away. For stubborn residue, apply more spray while peeling. Wipe away any remaining residue with a cotton pad. No rinsing needed.
Tip: peeling slowly reduces skin irritation significantly.
Is Elshaw safe for children?
Yes. Elshaw was specifically created to be gentle enough for a child's skin used daily. The formula is naturally derived, free from harsh chemical solvents, and has been used on children from a young age — including the founder's daughter who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at a young age. As with any new product on sensitive or allergy-prone skin, a patch test before first use is recommended.
