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.
What's in Elshaw?
Elshaw is made from naturally derived ingredients including coconut alkanes, witch hazel extract, aloe vera, chamomile flower extract, lemon oil, sunflower oil, and gotu kola extract. Full ingredient list: Coconut Alkanes, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate, Glycerin, Citrus limon (Lemon) Oil, Lecithin, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Tocopherol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Limonene, Aqua (Water), Totarol, Chamomilla Recutita (Chamomile) Flower Extract, Centella asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract, Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, Potassium Sorbate, Linalool, Citral. Allergens: D-Limonene, Linalool, Citral.
Does Elshaw leave a residue?
Elshaw may leave a very light natural oil residue due to the plant-based ingredients in the formula. This can be wiped away easily with a cotton pad after use if preferred. It does not leave a sticky or greasy film.
How long does a 60ml bottle last?
The 60ml bottle delivers approximately 400 sprays. How long that lasts depends on how many devices you're removing and how frequently. For a single CGM sensor changed every 10–14 days, one bottle will last many months. For daily pump site changes plus a CGM, you'll go through it faster. Elshaw has a 3-year shelf life when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

About Elshaw — the brand
Two years ago, founder Shell Shaw's daughter Eleanor was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Along with the daily challenges came constant site and sensor changes — and Eleanor's skin became red, raw, and sore from the adhesive patches. Every removal often ended in tears.
Shell kept thinking there had to be a better way. While products existed, nothing felt natural or gentle enough to use on a child's skin so regularly. That need led to the creation of Elshaw — a natural adhesive remover designed to make site changes and adhesive removal kinder on sensitive skin.
Created by a mum who lived the problem firsthand, Elshaw was born to help make everyday care a little easier, gentler, and less painful for families like hers.
