Presence of ethanol complicates the product as it adds a separation problem. Otherwise I would expect antioxidants and metal sequestering agents to be the main ingredients.

but now the price is twelve bucks more...

The good part, though, is that with mine the nozzle is not bundled. I can have five cans at $45 each and one more nozzle that looks as functional as yours at $40...

OTOH, I would also give yours more points for ergonomics when pouring. Not a lot of points, but some....
