a soft plastic and it's small enough that it fits nicely in the mouth w/out the gag relex kicking in.

there is nothing I can find on the packaging or on the Plackers website (www.plackers.com) that indicates what the product is made of. There is a 'contact us' link on the website where you may ask them about that.

Not too sure what type of plastic it is made of, but it does not really work. If you grind, it will not stay in place. Try another type that molds to your teeth. I have one from Dentek I really like.

I looked at the packaging and read the printed matter that came with the product. It did specify that it was made from a certain composition, but there was no mention of latex.

I'd say mouthpiece and outside of mask are silicone but I'm not positive. Its soft and plyable.

I want to know too Sarah and I can't find the answer. R. Harrison that was not what she was asking. She didn't ask what melatonin was, she asked if this brand was made by natural or synthetic sources. I would like to know the answer to that as well.

I looked at the package, and it says "Made from food grade silicone." It doesn't list any other materials, so I assume that's the only ingredient. Hope that helps!

It's made out of hard latex but it is squishy. However, it's huge so unless you have a big dog I wouldn't get it. I had to give mine away as I have a toy poodle and he couldn't get his mouth around it.

I think it's silicone rubber. Why not call the Sizzix company. I'm sure they'll tell you.

It is supposedly made with wood, but the other ingredients are not listed. Because the toy is really hard, I would think that it was some sort plastic type material...but, again there is no way of finding out what the toy is made from. After asking the company myself, I received the answer that it was made of "non-toxic" ingredients, but no listing of ingredients was given.

Now that I am looking at it closely, there is a silicone quaternium-16 in the ingredients. Hmmm. I know that the CEO of this product is the same as pureology, and I'm no chemist, so I'm not sure how bad that is.

Hi Karijanna, this product is phthalate free, it is made of TPR (thermo-plastic Rubber) I can't definitely say it is latex-free, however I always suggest products not made of pure silicone are best used in conjunction with toy covers/condoms, and/or non-latex condoms.

Yes Rachael, it is silicone. All of it is, top, etc. It's a great product, I really like it.

Hi Esther, that was my question to the company as I am sensitive to latex. The package is latex and drug free and is only silicone, which works on a human very well. I have been using the scar away for a few months and it is working quite well. It does take time, however and I use it day and night as I only need small pieces. I didn't want to have cosmetic surgery because it would be flesh color even with a tan. This way its totally natural. My scar by the way occurred when I was wearing a diamond solitaire while lying in the sun and got a deep burn similar to a magnifying glass. I have been very happy with the silicone and have had no adverse reactions. Hope this helps. Hi Esther, that was my question to the company as I am sensitive to latex.

It should also be noted that 100% natural talalay foam does not really exist. Foam produced using the talalay process contains materials other than latex. While "100% natural talalay foam" is offered by many retailers, this label is a bit misleading. The "100% natural" refers only to the latex content of the foam and ignores the fact that the foam contains materials other than latex. If the product description in accurate then this would be a latex topper manufactured in the Dunlop process and would be more eco friendly with no "off-gassing"

Product is described as made of :*Designed according to the natural shape of your nostrils for comfort and fit with soft medical-grade plastic, BPA- and Phthalate-free. Does not state Latex Free - but it would seem logical for a product to help with allergies to be made of a non allergic material. In the end analysis everyone's reactions to a product in direct contact with sensitive nasal tissues will be different even if you do not have a latex allergy. I would try them for a few hours and see if there is a reaction. Be sure to get the right size JV- too large and they may bother you. I really can't recommend these nasal filters enough - I hope I have not muddied the waters for you.

It's blended (part natural latex part synthetic latex) made by the Talalay process, from the item description (whenever it says blended, it's not 100% natural latex)

The box contains the following text "This product contains no components made from natural rubber latex." There is a symbol with latex inside a circle with a slash through it. Also of interest: "This respirator helps protect against certain particulate contaminants, but does not eliminate exposure to or the risk of contracting any disease or infection. Misuse may result in sickness or death" For proper use, see User Instructions.... In the instructions, they basically say to press both sides of the nose band with two hands at the same time to achieve a good fit.

Because the silicone that heals wears down with use. It explains it on the box and probably the website if you do your own research. They do work, but they've changed it so it doesn't last as long as it used to. I'm going to buy it in a store next time to check out the quality first.
