Air Dry: Allow skin to fully air dry. No rinsing or wiping required.
Reapply as needed: If you continue sweating, wipe away excess moisture and spray again to refresh the area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use hypochlorous acid instead of alcohol-based hand sanitizer?
HOCl offers a non-toxic, non-flammable, alcohol-free alternative for everyday hand cleansing. It's gentle on sensitive skin, without the harsh drying effects of alcohol, and suitable for frequent use by the whole family.
Does hypochlorous acid help eliminate body odor?
Yes. Body odor develops when bacteria break down sweat and skin secretions. HOCl helps eliminate odor-causing bacteria rather than masking odors with fragrance, helping keep underarms, feet and other sweat-prone areas fresher.
Is hypochlorous acid safe for children and sensitive skin?
Properly formulated HOCl is generally well tolerated by sensitive skin. River Refresh is designed for gentle, frequent external cleansing, making it a practical option for everyday family hygiene.
Can hypochlorous acid help with eczema, psoriasis and itchy skin?
HOCl can gently cleanse sensitive, irritation-prone skin and may help soothe itching and redness. It's useful for keeping eczema-, psoriasis- and rash-prone areas clean without harsh scrubbing.
Can I use hypochlorous acid on minor cuts and scrapes?
HOCl helps cleanse minor cuts and scrapes while supporting a clean environment for natural healing. Unlike hydrogen peroxide, which can damage healthy cells, appropriately formulated HOCl can cleanse with good tissue compatibility.
Can hypochlorous acid help with body acne and razor bumps?
HOCl helps reduce bacteria on blemish-prone skin and may soothe redness and irritation associated with shaving, sweat and friction. It's a gentle addition to everyday body care.
Is hypochlorous acid good for piercing aftercare?
HOCl helps keep skin around piercings clean while reducing bacteria without alcohol or fragrance. It can support routine piercing hygiene, including around healing piercings when appropriate for your aftercare routine.
Can I use hypochlorous acid on the bikini line and external intimate areas?
Yes. HOCl provides gentle cleansing for external skin, including the bikini line, skinfolds and sweat-prone intimate areas. Its alcohol-free, fragrance-free formula helps refresh areas affected by perspiration, friction or shaving.

Why River Refresh
River Refresh develops fresh hypochlorous acid products for skincare, pet care, oral care and surface cleaning.
Fresh hypochlorous acid, made simple. HOCl is highly effective but sensitive to heat, light and air. Our patent-pending Activation Packet™ system lets you activate fresh HOCl when you need it—removing the uncertainty that comes with pre-mixed solutions. When you control freshness, you can trust performance.™
Custom formulation is at the core of every River Refresh product. We design concentration and pH around how each product is used rather than using one formula for every application. Our formulas use pure HOCl with no additives.
Made in Texas, USA. River—our Italian Spinone dog, company namesake and brand ambassador —inspired our search for a better way to care for pets, people and the environments we share. That idea still guides River Refresh today: effective, freshly activated HOCl made for everyday life and safe around families and pets.
