INGREDIENTS OF SPRAY AWAY D.O.A.

The formulation of Spray Away D.O.A. is patent pending.

THREE INGREDIENTS: There are three safe ingredients in Spray Away when used according to instructions.  Alcohol is common to most sanitizers.  We used 62% denatured ethanol.  It is not commonly communicated that alcohol’s anti-microbial effect lasts only when wet.  After evaporation, the surface sprayed should be free of microbes, but there is no lasting protection.

What is unique about Spray Away D.O.A. is the protocatechuate crystals in the solution, upon the evaporation of the alcohol leaves a uniform crystalline anti-microbial coating.   This gives a long-lasting anti-microbial effect on the hands, masks, or hard surfaces. Your skin is protected by the healing properties of the coating.

The crystal coating will not be visible following a spray application. In order to show you what it would look like if you could, we staged these photographs with heavy concentration of crystals so you could appreciate the coating including into the finger prints.
This photograph illustrates three different concentrations of protocatechuate (PCA)crystals on polyester shirt material. The localized area was sprayed with the respective solutions. The 30% was used to easily visualize the deposited crystal coating. The crystals are present at 1% and 5%, but less visible to the naked eye. This illustration replicates what would exist on personal protective equipment (PPE).

Protocatechuate is food substance.  It is common to the human diet, found in many foods. It is the primary metabolite upon eating of blueberries or cherries.  It is classified as a nutrceutical as opposed to a pharmaceutical; i.e. drug.  It is scientifically a phytochemical, biochemically produced in our application rather than per plant extraction.  Protocatechuate even though a nutraceutical by classification has been researched and developed to meet FDA device and or drug regulations.  It is as grey/white crystal of 177 microns or 80 mesh size.

The protocatechuate crystals in solution have sharp needle like shapes which produce the initial anti-microbial function by physically disrupting the microbe.

The protocatechuate crystals are easily identified in solution under polarized light microscopy.

A fragrance is common to most sanitizers.  We used limonene.

There are three ingredients in the Spray Away D.O.A. sanitizer:

Denatured Ethanol 62%:

This concentration is FDA approved for use in a sanitizer. Denatured ethanol is not the ethanol found in alcoholic beverages. Do not drink and keep away from mouth or eyes.

Protocatechuic Acid 1.0%:

This is a nutraceutical. The FDA has listed this as Generally Recognized As Safe (G.R.A. S.) as a food flavoring. This is safe to eat when used with foods, but not in this application. There is evidence it has an anti-microbial property as seen in the following US patents. [see list below] After the list put in Wash Away info: Wash Away D.O.A. is mostly sterile water. There is 1% PCA no other additive. It is an adjunct to mitigation of areas of the nose and oral pharynx.

Lemonene 0.6%:

This is the oil found in citrus fruits. In manufacturing, limonene is used as a fragrance, cleaner (solvent), and as an ingredient in water -free hand cleansers. It is a fragrance in Spray Away D.O.A.

The following US Patents have been issued to Dr. Johnson concerning the many applications of protocatechuic. They have resulted not only in Spray Away but also in many other health applications.

September 11, 2012.  This patent showed that the dyes of plants (anthocyanins and anthocyanins) the precursor of the metabolite protocatechuic acid turned on the gene for growth hormone IGF-1 in human synovium.

November 8, 2016.  This patent secured the intra articular injection route not previously included in the granted patent claims for cyanidin-3-glucoside.

November 22, 2016.  This was the parent patent showing broad spectrum antibiotic properties and wound healing acceleration.  See the illustrations above.

March 27, 2018.This was a continuation of the parent application that adds 2,4,6 trihydroxybenzaldehyde to the broad-spectrum antibiotic, plus collagen proliferation (i.e. wrinkle treatment) and reduction in scar formation.
