Hypochlorous Acid: The River Refersh Difference
Freshness drives performance — and only River Refresh lets you control it.
Fresh hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is nature’s own defense molecule — a non-toxic, all-natural antimicrobial that neutralizes bacteria, viruses, fungi, and odor-causing microbes with precision and purity. It’s the germ-fighting warrior your skin, pet, and home deserve.
For decades, HOCl has been trusted in hospitals, veterinary clinics, agriculture, and food safety — powerful, safe, and proven. More recently, it’s become available to consumers in pre-mixed bottled solutions, but product stability and shelf life remain a challenge. This fragile molecule is sensitive to heat, light, and air, and exposure during manufacturing, storage, and shipping can erode its freshness by altering pH balance and concentration levels. With so many unknowns, its antimicrobial impact is anyone’s guess.
River Refresh changes that.
Our exclusive patent-pending Activation Packet™ lets you create HOCl on demand, so every mix delivers maximum purity and strength. This on-the-spot activation preserves the molecule’s antimicrobial power and odor-eliminating performance.
Each River Refresh formulation is uniquely balanced in pH and concentration, precisely tuned for each product line - skin care, pet care, and all-purpose cleaning. The result is targeted performance across every collection — pure, potent, and always fresh.

It’s science, simplified. Freshness, perfected.
When you control freshness, you can trust performance.™
