NOSTRA is a cosmetic nasal spray that gradually reduces visible hair growth safely, painlessly, and without embarrassment. An innovative solution to a real problem.
How many times have you felt uncomfortable seeing your nasal hairs in the mirror? Or, worse, realizing someone noticed? It may seem like a small detail, but it affects the self-esteem of millions—especially men between the ages of 25 and 55, who value a well-groomed appearance but reject invasive or painful methods.
That's where NOSTRA came from—a cosmetic spray for external nasal application, designed to gradually reduce visible nostril hair , painlessly, safely, and effectively. No tweezers. No cuts. No embarrassment.
The idea has already been validated with potential users. Now, we need your support to move forward: we want to fund laboratory testing , obtain technical and scientific opinions , and secure regulatory validation . Only then will we be able to submit the project to the COMPETE 2030 program and transform this idea into a real, scientifically based product with a positive impact.
Your contribution is essential to demonstrating that there's demand and trust in this concept. With your help, we can develop an affordable, safe, and innovative alternative to a common problem—one that still lacks convenient solutions on the market.
About the author
My name is Miguel Silva , and I'm from Porto. I'm currently studying for the Executive MBA at Porto Business School , with professional experience in management and team development in the retail sector.
I'm driven by ideas that solve real problems in a smart, safe, and affordable way. NOSTRA was born from the observation of something simple: the lack of effective and convenient solutions for nasal hair—an uncomfortable but all-too-common issue.
With this campaign, I aim to take the first step toward transforming this idea into a real product, gathering the necessary support to validate its scientific and regulatory viability.
This is an independent project, without the support of major brands or laboratories. Therefore, every contribution counts—a lot.
I believe innovation doesn't have to be complicated. It just needs to start with a real problem and people willing to solve it. Thank you for being there.
Budget and due dates
The objective of the campaign is to raise €3,000 to enable the minimum preparatory phase of the NOSTRA – Root Control Nasal Spray project, creating the technical and scientific bases for a future solid application to COMPETE 2030 .
With this amount, it will be possible to move forward with preliminary technical and regulatory validation , which is crucial to giving the project credibility to investors and financing entities.
