This is the same formulation Mace sells to law enforcement — a three-part mix of OC pepper spray, tear gas, and UV dye, all in a compact canister that clips to your keys or belt. The flip-top safety keeps it from firing accidentally, and the finger-grip dispenser makes it easy to hold under pressure. Made in the USA.
- Triple-action formula – OC pepper impairs vision, tear gas causes tearing and burning, UV dye marks the attacker for identification
- 12-foot stream range – Keeps distance between you and the threat; stream pattern reduces blowback
- Flip-top safety – Prevents accidental discharge and helps orient the spray correctly in a hurry
- Keychain and belt clip included – Two carry options so it’s actually with you when you need it
- 0.63 oz canister – Compact enough for a pocket or purse; 1-year warranty on canister and nozzle, made in the USA
Three-Part Formula, Same Canister Law Enforcement Carries
Most pepper sprays are one-ingredient products. This one uses three: OC pepper to cause immediate eye closure and difficulty breathing, tear gas to add heavy tearing and burning, and UV dye that stays on an attacker’s skin long after the fact — useful if police get involved later. It’s the formula Mace developed for law enforcement use, packaged in a compact canister sized for civilian carry.
The stream pattern is the right call for outdoor carry — less likely to blow back on you in wind than a fogger or mist, and it concentrates the formula where it needs to go from up to 12 feet away.
Who This Pepper Spray Is For
Anyone looking for a step up from a basic single-formula pepper spray. The combination of OC, tear gas, and UV dye gives you more stopping potential and more post-incident evidence capability in one small canister. It’s a good fit for people who want what law enforcement uses without the bulk or price of a larger unit.
The keychain and belt clip make it practical for daily carry — joggers, commuters, people who walk to their car at night, college students, anyone who wants reliable protection in something they’ll actually keep on them. The hard case housing is durable enough to take some abuse in a bag or on a keychain without the spray accidentally deploying.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose this Mace if you want:
- A multi-formula spray that hits harder than basic OC alone
- A stream pattern that reduces blowback risk in outdoor settings
- UV dye for post-incident attacker identification
- A compact canister that attaches to keys or a belt clip
Consider something else if you need:
- Gel formula for indoor use or in tight spaces — stream can still mist slightly
- Larger volume for extended deployment or multiple threats
How It Actually Works
The OC (oleoresin capsicum) pepper component causes immediate and intense eye closure, pain, and difficulty breathing — the standard active ingredient in most defensive sprays, but here it’s part of a larger formula. The tear gas adds a second layer: CS or CN compounds that cause heavy tearing, burning of the mucous membranes, and disorientation. Together, these two components work on different physiological pathways, which is why the combo is considered more reliable than OC alone.
The UV dye is the sleeper feature. It’s invisible in normal light but glows under UV illumination, and it stays on skin for hours. If law enforcement encounters someone after an incident, the dye provides a direct physical link — useful in situations where verbal accounts conflict.
The flip-top safety is a practical design choice. It prevents accidental discharge when the canister’s bouncing around in a bag or on a keychain, and when you flip it open, the top helps orient the spray in the correct direction even if you’re grabbing it quickly in the dark. The finger-grip housing gives you a solid, controlled hold without having to think about it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the tear gas actually add over regular pepper spray?
OC pepper works primarily through inflammation — it causes intense eye closure, pain, and impaired breathing by triggering the body’s inflammatory response. Tear gas (CS or CN compounds) works through a different mechanism, causing heavy tearing, burning of the mucous membranes, and significant disorientation. Using both together means the formula is working on two separate physiological pathways simultaneously, which makes it harder for someone to push through compared to a single-ingredient spray.
How does the UV dye work?
The UV dye is a chemical that’s colorless in normal light but fluoresces visibly under ultraviolet illumination. It transfers to skin and clothing on contact and remains detectable for several hours. Police carry UV lights for this purpose, and if someone who was sprayed with this canister is encountered later, the dye provides a direct physical connection. It’s not a GPS tracker — it just marks. But in the right circumstances, it’s useful evidence.
Is a stream pattern better than a fog or mist?
For most outdoor carry situations, yes. Stream patterns concentrate the formula and project it in a focused line to the target. Fog and mist disperse the formula more widely, which can be useful in certain enclosed scenarios but significantly increases the chance of blowback affecting you in any kind of wind. For someone walking, jogging, or going to and from a car, a stream is the more practical choice.
Is this legal to carry everywhere?
Pepper spray laws vary by state and municipality. Most US states permit civilian carry of OC sprays with some restrictions on concentration, container size, or age of purchaser. Formulas containing tear gas have additional restrictions in some jurisdictions — a few states limit or prohibit CS/CN-based products for civilian use. Check the laws in your specific state and city before purchasing. This product is made for the US market, but local regulations are your responsibility to verify.
