Did you know that earwax, often perceived as disgusting, is actually a precious ally for the health of your ears? Yet many of us wonder: where does it come from, what is it really used for, and how can we take care of our ears without risking damaging them?
In this new article, we answer all your questions with and, as a bonus, we suggest a natural and sustainable solution: we've named it, oriculi!
A closer look at cerumen and its uses
Earwax is a substance naturally produced by glands in the external auditory canal. Composed of oils, dead cells and secretions, it is essential for protecting our ears.
The benefits of earwax
Thanks to its antibacterial and antifungal properties, earwax acts as a natural shield against infection, preventing microbes from settling in.
But its role doesn't stop there: earwax also forms a physical barrier that blocks out dust, unwanted particles and even small insects, protecting the eardrum. Last but not least, this all-natural substance moisturizes the ear canal, preventing dryness and irritation that often cause discomfort.
How is earwax produced?
The ceruminous and sebaceous glands in your ears work in synergy to produce earwax. This slowly migrates outwards from the ear canal, carrying with it accumulated impurities. This natural self-cleaning process is a real feat of our bodies.
However, excessive build-up can sometimes cause discomfort, such as a clogged feeling or temporary hearing loss. This is where the importance of gentle, safe cleaning comes in.
Clean your ears safely: natural solutions
Although we often hear about cotton buds, experts actually advise against them. They push earwax deeper into the ear, increasing the risk of clogging, irritation and even perforation of the eardrum. So, if we forget cotton buds, what natural, effective and safe alternatives do we have left to clean our ears and those of our children?
Gentle washing with lukewarm water: in the shower, let a trickle of lukewarm water clean the entrance to your ears, without inserting any objects.
Use of vegetable oils: a few drops ofsweet almond oil or olive oil can help soften earwax plugs.
The oriculi: the revolutionary tool for cleaning the inside of the ear canal.
Oriculi: an eco-responsible and safe alternative
L’oriculi est un petit outil en bambou, en inox ou en matériau durable conçu pour retirer délicatement l’excès de cérumen visible à l’entrée du conduit auditif.
Originaire du Japon et de Chine, cet outil ancestral s’impose aujourd’hui comme une solution incontournable pour un nettoyage des oreilles à la fois doux, naturel et écologique.
Why choose oriculi

What's more, this washable, reusable accessory is environmentally friendly, reducing the plastic waste generated by disposable products. Economical, it can last for years with simple maintenance, making it a wise investment. Last but not least, its ergonomic design guarantees easy, precise use, with no danger to your ears.
