[0069] According to one embodiment herein, many people have reported an allergy to nickel. Nickel is the most common metal used in most of the artificial jewelry articles. The hypo allergic and metal surface sealant composition is suitable for all metals and alloy's, including nickel. After the application of the hypoallergic and metal surface sealant composition, there is no negative effects or allergies on human skin. Even after bathing, exercising, sleeping, sweating and/or working, the hypo allergic and metal surface sealant composition lasts on the surface of the metal articles and remain of the surface of metal articles for a long duration of time.

[0070] According to one embodiment herein, the hypoallergenic metal surface sealant clear aerosol composition sprayed on metal or alloy articles manufactured from the base metals selected from a group consisting of nickel, zinc, lead, tin, copper and aluminum to avoid the allergic reaction and to avoid the corrosion of metal or alloy. The hypoallergenic metal surface sealant clear aerosol composition is sprayed on metal or alloy articles to avoid direct skin contact.

[0071] According to one embodiment herein, the hypo allergic and metal surface sealant composition provides long-lasting allergy protection directly to end-users. The composition is easy to apply, as the composition is an aerosol spray to cover the metal or alloy article surface evenly. The hypo allergic and metal surface sealant composition is easily stored in a temperature up to 120° F. The composition dries fast after application. The composition has a mild fruity odor with a lavender undertone. The hypo allergic and metal surface sealant composition protects the user of jewelry from tarnish and skin irritations through a clear and long lasting aerosol coating.

[0072] According to one embodiment herein, the efficacy test of the hypo allergic and metal surface sealant composition was performed on thirty participants who are highly susceptible to mild and severe allergic reaction to nickel. A common allergic reaction comprises skin discoloration, redness, rashes and hives. Each participant wore a jewelry article that is sprayed with the hypo allergic and metal surface sealant composition for a nonstop duration of thirty days, even while sleeping, bathing, working and etc. Throughout the test period, the jewelry coated with the hypoallergic and metal surface sealant composition is tested against elements/factors that provoke tarnishing and skin reactions. The elements/factors affecting the hypo allergic and metal surface sealant composition include water, humidity, sweat, skin oils/acids and cosmetic products. It is observed that twenty-seven of the thirty participants reported no sign of tarnish or skin discoloration. Only three participants showed slight jewelry discoloration near the end of the efficacy test, in which the hypo allergic and metal surface sealant composition significantly delayed that process.

[0073] According to one embodiment herein, the hypo allergenic, clear aerosol composition is applied on necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, body jewelry, chains, belts, glasses, brooches, watches, buttons, screws and fasteners (threaded fasteners where protection is needed against rusting and oxidation). The hypoallergic and metal surface sealant composition can also be formulated in liquid form for plating on the metal or alloy articles. The hypo allergic and metal surface sealant composition is not just limited to an aerosol propellant/gas mixture.

[0074] According to one embodiment herein, the manufacturers suffer great loss during a fabricating or manufacturing of the metal goods that are prone to tarnish, corrosion and cause allergic reaction when the goods come in direct contact with human skin. The industrial products that are susceptible to a tarnishing through an exposure to oxidation, moisture, and humidity. The industrial-metal products, such as industrial screws, fasteners and other hardware tarnish, corrode and rust. The tarnish, corrosion and rust make the industrial metal products ineffective and hazardous for commercial use. The following industries mass produce metal products, in which they experience regular tarnishing and the risk of their customers suffering a skin allergy to their products. The industries are automotive, agricultural equipment, military/government equipment, aerospace, technology, home appliance, medical equipment and marine equipment.

[0075] According to one embodiment herein, the hypoallergenic, clear aerosol composition the Tarnish-Me-Not provides immense value towards industrial manufacturers within the industries listed above. During production, these manufacturers are prompted to dip the metal products into the liquid formula of hypoallergenic, clear aerosol composition, which dries to a plating that preserves the metals from tarnishing and eliminates the risk of consumers having exposure to the base metals that cause allergies and irritation.
