Hypochlorous Acid — What It Is, Why It Works
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) sounds intimidating, but it’s one of nature’s safest and most effective ways to fight germs and odor-causing bacteria. It’s also a naturally occurring molecule your body already makes to protect itself.
Scientists recreated HOCl more than a century ago, and it quickly became trusted across industries where safety matters most — healthcare, veterinary care, ophthalmology, agriculture, and food safety. Powerful. Safe. Proven.
We’ve taken that same trusted formula and created products that into everyday living. Fresh HOCl delivers reliable cleaning while staying gentle on skin, pets, and everyday surfaces.

And here's where it gets real.
Most HOCl sprays are pre-mixed and sit through manufacturing, storage, and shipping before they reach you. But HOCl is a fragile molecule that breaks-down in strength and pH when exposed to light, air, and heat. The result? You can’t be sure how fresh or effective that pre-mixed solution is.
River Refresh offers a better way.
With our exclusive patent-pending Activation Packet™ system, you make fresh HOCl at home whenever you need it, so every bottle is at peak performance, delivering the dependable results you deserve.
Clean. Simple. Reliable.
Freshness you control, performance you can trust.™
