HOW TO PREPARE

Mixing Instructions

  • Place the sealed activation packet into your mixing bottle (do not open or cut it).
  • Fill with purified or distilled water to the exact amount listed on the activation packet (16 oz, 32 oz, etc.).
  • Close, shake, and let sit for 1 minute.
  • Pour the solution into your spray bottles.

Good to Know

  • Each activation packet is single use.
  • You can leave the used packet in the mixing bottle until you’re ready to make a new batch; then empty the bottle, remove, and discard the packet before adding a new one.
HOW TO APPLY

For best results, apply to clean, debris-free skin.

  • Wipe away dirt, sweat, or debris before applying.
  • Spray generously — the area should be visibly wet.
  • You may gently rub in to ensure even coverage (especially for hands).
  • Allow to air dry. Do not wipe off.
  • As it dries, the solution is actively killing germs and odor-causing bacteria.
  • Reapply as needed. Safe for multiple uses throughout the day.

For Facial Use -

  • Apply to a clean face, neck, and décolleté for maximum benefit.
  • Allow to dry completely before layering serums, Vitamin C, retinoids, or moisturizers.
CARE & STORAGE

Storage

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight.
  • Once mixed, keep in an opaque bottle.
  • Store at room temperature (60–80°F).
  • For consistent performance, refresh your solution within the recommended timeframe.

Bottle Care

  • For best results, use River Refresh bottles designed for proper storage and protection from light.
  • Do not reuse bottles that previously contained other cleaners, chemicals, or personal care products, as residue may affect stability and performance.
  • Clean the spray nozzle periodically to prevent buildup or clogging.
  • Do not freeze or expose to extreme heat.
SAFETY INFORMATION
  • For external use only.
  • Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Safe for all skin types and all ages. Patch test if you have highly sensitive skin.

Why Fresh Activation Matters

Each Activation Packet™ is formulated to create Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) at its intended concentration (ppm) and pH when mixed with purified or distilled water.

HOCl naturally degrades with exposure to light, heat, air, and water quality. By activating it yourself, you control when it’s made and how it’s stored.

Fresh activation helps ensure:

  • Intended concentration for the task
  • pH balanced for targeted use
  • Reliable antimicrobial performance

When mixed and stored in opaque bottles away from heat and direct sunlight, the solution is expected to maintain strength close to its published concentration for at least 45 days. After that, natural degradation continues and concentration will gradually decline — which is why we recommend refreshing your solution regularly for consistent performance.

When It’s Wet, It’s Working™

Hypochlorous Acid gets to work on contact. Spray generously and let it air dry — there’s no need to wipe it away. As long as the surface remains visibly wet, the solution is actively interacting with germs and odor-causing bacteria.

It leaves no residue and is non-toxic, making it safe for everyday use around kids and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use hypochlorous acid as a full-body spray or deodorant? +

Yes — River Refresh Hypochlorous Acid Body Spray can be used on underarms, feet, or anywhere odor-causing bacteria form. It neutralizes existing odors but isn’t an antiperspirant, so it doesn’t prevent sweating.

For best results, wipe away sweat before spraying to let the solution contact skin directly. It helps eliminates odor at the source without perfume, aluminum, or harsh chemicals, and it’s gentle enough for everyday all-over use.

If you’re still sweating or particularly odiferous, simply repeat as needed — the spray is safe for frequent application.

How does River Refresh hypochlorous acid hand cleanser compare to alcohol-based sanitizers? +

River Refresh Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) Hand Cleanser & Body Spray kills 99.9% of germs as effectively as alcohol sanitizers — but without dryness, irritation, or harsh fumes.

Key differences:

  • Gentle on skin: HOCl is water-based and pH-balanced, supporting your skin's natural moisture barrier instead of stripping it like alcohol does
  • No harsh smell: Unlike alcohol sanitizers, HOCl has no strong odor
  • Safe for sensitive skin: Won't cause stinging, cracking, or irritation even with frequent use
  • Keeps hands hydrated: Leaves skin soft and healthy, not dry and damaged

When to use each:

  • Use HOCl for frequent sanitizing throughout the day when you want germ protection without skin damage
  • Alcohol sanitizers work when water isn't available, but come with the trade-off of dry, irritated skin
Is hypochlorous acid (HOCl) safe for intimate areas? +

Yes — hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is gentle and safe for use on intimate skin, including the vaginal and groin area, bum, and baby bottoms.

It’s naturally pH-balanced (around 5.5) — close to the body’s own acidity — and completely free of alcohol, fragrance, and harsh preservatives.

HOCl soothes irritation from heat, moisture, or friction and helps reduce redness or bumps after shaving or waxing. It also neutralizes odor-causing bacteria without masking scent or disrupting the body’s natural microbiome.

Fresh Tips:

  • Spray directly on clean, external skin and let it air-dry.
  • Use daily or whenever skin feels irritated, warm, or needs a refresh.
  • Safe for adults and babies — gentle enough for diaper care and postpartum hygiene.

Disclaimer: HOCl supports healthy skin and odor control but isn’t intended for internal use or to replace medical care. If irritation or infection persists, consult your healthcare provider.

What are the benefits of using hypochlorous acid (HOCl) as a hand sanitizer? +

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) kills 99.9% of germs, bacteria, and viruses within seconds — all without alcohol, harsh chemicals, or sticky residue. It’s a gentle, non-toxic alternative for clean hands that stay soft and hydrated instead of dry or irritated.

Unlike alcohol-based sanitizers that strip moisture and sting cuts, HOCl disinfects through oxidation (not dehydration) — so it kills pathogens effectively while keeping your skin barrier healthy.

Everyday uses:

  • Keep a bottle in your purse, car, or kids’ backpack for clean hands anywhere.
  • Perfect for sensitive skin or those who can’t tolerate alcohol sanitizers.
  • Safe to use around pets, food, and personal items.

Fresh Tip: Use after washing or whenever soap and water aren’t available — it sanitizes, hydrates lightly, and leaves zero residue.
