Allergy: Ectoine is a compound that does stabilize the cell membrane. In this case the histamine cells of the nose. Should not be problem.

Combination: It is often helpful to use a combination of avoiding triggers such as dust, mold and pollen. Avoid smoke, use nasal saline rinses and consider allergy testing to better define allergic triggers.
