Introducing OOH Shield™, a natural disinfectant that protects for two hour windows against over 170 different pathogens. The product is the first of its kind to market, with the USP of being a natural, alcohol-free solution and therefore fit for use around the face and especially the nose, the main contraction point for infection. The active ingredient Path-Away® has recently been successfully tested in a UK laboratory to be effective to over 99.99% against a surrogate of Covid-19.

OOH Shield is a combination of Path-Away and purified water. It is available in aerosol bottles so that you can spray it on yourself or external surfaces to avoid infection.

What is Path-Away?

Path-Away is a plant-based natural ingredient. It has been scientifically tested against over 170 different pathogens including Influenzas, E-Coli and MRSA. It has proved to protect against all of them. It is Certified Organic, Non-GMO, Alcohol-Free, Non-Staining, and Non-Bleaching. It has recently been tested against a Surrogate of Covid-19 (Feline Coronavirus) and proved to be effective to over 99.99%. This is the European Standard EN 14476 for testing against Covid-19. The Feline coronavirus is increasingly used in international testing as a surrogate to COVID-19 as there are huge bio-security and safety concerns for laboratories handling the actual virus.

How does it work?

Path-Away works by attaching itself to the virus and weakening its walls. It inhibits its ability to take up amino acids – their basic building block. This forces the viruses to clump together, in the process of killing themselves, almost instantly.

Why should we trust this actually works?

Path-Away is the brainchild of famed American scientist Dr Arthur V Martin, President of Global Infection Control Consultants LLC (GICC). Dr Martin assisted the government of Malaysia during the H1N1 outbreak in 2009, and the government of Singapore during the SARS outbreak in 2003. He has personally conducted tests in excess of 5,000 building environmental pathogen assessments and lectured in over 24 countries. He is considered one of the world’s leading experts on the control of the spread of pathogenic bio-aerosols. He is also a member of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) STOP TB (Tuberculosis) Board.

The manufacturers of OOH Shield (Holista Colltech) are an Australian Stock Exchange listed company, whose scientific advisors include a former Assistant U.S. Surgeon General, Rear Admiral of the U.S. Public Health Service, Chief Epidemiologist with the Center for Device and Radiological Health at the U.S. FDA, a Doctor of Human Nutrition from the London School of Hygiene, and a Project Associate on Nano Medicine for the U.S. Department of Defense.

When is best to use OOH Shield?

To best protect from infection, use OOH Shield before you leave your home and when new people or objects enter your home. For instance, if you get a supermarket delivery, you will want to spray your hands and apply to your nose before touching your shopping.

Is it safe?

OOH Shield is safe for people of all ages and it is safe around pets. It is tested in laboratories that report to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Path-Away is exempted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as it has no toxicity effects. Its ingredients are certified as Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food And Drug Administration (FDA).

Does OOH Shield offer better protection than hand sanitisers?

OOH Shield is classed as a disinfectant, which is one grade above a sanitiser. A sanitiser lowers the number of bacteria on surfaces, a disinfectant kills infectious fungi, bacteria and viruses.

Viruses are often transmitted through airborne particles into the respiratory system. OOH Shield is natural, certified organic and alcohol-free, so can be sprayed on the face, applied into the nose (your biggest infection risk point) and you can even spray it in your mouth.

As OOH Shield is natural you don’t need to wash it off, you only need to reapply after two hours or if you wash your hands.
