Is there a nasal spray without Benzalkonium available?

This additive is related to rebound congestion from nasal sprays. ThE FDA is trying to encourage manufacturers to start making sprays without this additive. It is already banned in Germany. IS there any way to get a spray without this additive in it in the US?

Update:

Sorry, I should be more specific and say that I am looking for a topical decongestant like Oxymetazoline without BZK in it.

    Simply Saline has a preservative-free aerosol bottle which is free of benzalkonium chloride.

    I just use a nasal rinse bottle or neti pot and mix my own saline.
