Hypochlorous Acid — What It Is, Why It Works

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) may sound intimidating, but it's one of nature’s safest and most effective ways to fight germs and odor-causing bacteria. It's a naturally occurring molecule your body already produces to protect itself.

Scientists recreated HOCl more than a century ago using the simple elements of water and salt. The molecule penetrates and breaks down microbes quickly without harsh chemicals or negative side effects.

As a non-toxic antimicrobial that's gentle on skin, pets and everyday surfaces, HOCl proved useful across many applications. It quickly became trusted in industries where safety matters most, including healthcare, veterinary care, ophthalmology, agriculture, and food safety.
Effective. Safe. Proven.

We've taken the same proven chemistry and created products for everyday living. Fresh HOCl delivers reliable cleaning power while staying gentle on wherever it's used.

Why River Refresh HOCl Works Better

  • Professional-Grade Cleaner: 100% stronger than standard 500ppm formulas

Why Fresh Hypochlorous Matters

Hypochlorous performs at its peak when it’s fresh, delivering the germ-fighting and odor-neutralizing power it’s meant to. The molecule is powerful, but it’s also delicate — light, air, and heat can weaken it fast. You don’t know what pre-mixed sprays were exposed to during manufacturing, storage, and shipping. By the time they reach you, their true strength is a question mark.

Activating HOCl yourself means every bottle starts fresh, at peak strength, so you know exactly what you’re getting. No guessing. Just the confidence your HOCl is strong enough to do its job from the moment you make it.

That’s why the River Refresh Activation Packet™ system is the better choice — it puts freshness, and the performance that comes with it, completely in your hands.

Clean. Simple. Reliable.
Freshness you control, performance you can trust.™
