FAQs - Common Questions

  • Is HOCl Safe Around the Eyes and Mouth?

    Our HOCl formulation is designed to be gentle enough for delicate areas like the eyes and mouth. HOCl is a molecule your body naturally produces to help combat bacteria and support healthy tissue. In carefully balanced, low concentrations, it is non-irritating, safe for daily use, and effective for skin and mucosal surfaces.
    For safe application, avoid ingesting the product, and when spraying on the face, close your eyes and mouth. This ensures you get the benefits of HOCl while keeping it completely safe.

  • Can Kids Use HOCl?

    Yes! HOCl is gentle enough for children. It’s a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps fight bacteria and support healthy skin. Our products are non-toxic, alcohol-free, and pH-balanced, making them safe for use on children’s skin including hands.
    Safety tip: Always follow the usage instructions and avoid ingestion. When spraying on the face, it’s best for kids to close their eyes and mouth to ensure safe application.

  • What’s the Shelf Life of CLOH?

    Our CLOH formulation is uniquely stable for up to 12 months, making it one of the longest-lasting HOCl products on the market. To maintain its effectiveness, store your bottle in a cool, dry place and avoid direct sunlight. Proper storage ensures that each spray remains potent, safe, and ready to use throughout its shelf life.

  • Why does HOCl smell like a swimming pool?

    You might notice a faint, fresh scent when using HOCl — similar to a swimming pool. This is completely normal and safe.
    Here’s why: while HOCl is chemically related to chlorine, it is not the same as the harsh chlorine used in pools (sodium hypochlorite, NaOCl). HOCl is a naturally occurring molecule in your body that fights bacteria and viruses. It is pH-balanced, gentle, and skin-safe, unlike pool chlorine, which is highly alkaline and can irritate skin.
    The scent comes from HOCl’s oxidizing properties, but it is mild, non-toxic, and harmless. You can confidently use our HOCl daily for skincare, hands, and surfaces without concern.

  • How is CLOH Different from Alcohol-Based Sprays?

    CLOH works naturally and gently, harnessing the antimicrobial power of hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a molecule your body produces to fight bacteria and viruses. Unlike alcohol-based sprays, CLOH is non-toxic, pH-balanced, and non-drying, making it safe for skin, hands, and surfaces without causing irritation.
    While alcohol sprays can be harsh, drying, and sometimes irritating, CLOH provides effective protection with skin-loving care, so you can use it daily without compromising comfort or safety.

  • Can I Use CLOH on Wounds and Cuts?

    CLOH is gentle and safe for skin, making it suitable for minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions. Interestingly, hypochlorous acid has a long history of use — during World War II, stabilized HOCl solutions were used in medical settings to clean wounds safely and reduce infection risk.
    HOCl works naturally to neutralize bacteria and support the skin’s healing process without causing irritation or stinging like harsh disinfectants.
    Important: For deep, serious, or infected wounds, always seek medical attention. CLOH is intended for everyday minor skin care and protection, not as a replacement for professional medical treatment.

  • Is CLOH Safe During Pregnancy or for Infants?

    CLOH is a gentle, non-toxic, and pH-balanced solution, making it safe for everyday use on skin for most people, including children. Its formulation is free of alcohol, fragrances, and harsh chemicals, so it can be used on infants’ delicate skin and around sensitive areas.
    During pregnancy, CLOH is generally considered safe for external use on skin and hands, but as with any product, it’s always best to consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.

  • Can CLOH Be Used on Surfaces?

    Yes! CLOH is versatile and safe for hands, skin, and surfaces. For items like sports equipment, gym mats, travel essentials, and other high-touch items, our CLOH Active line (0.020% concentration) is the stronger, more effective option.
    CLOH Active delivers gentle yet powerful protection, keeping you and your gear safe wherever life takes you.

  • How Should I Use the Facial Mist with Other Skincare Products?

    CLOH Facial Mist can be easily incorporated into your skincare routine. For best results:

      • Cleanse your skin as usual.
      • Spray CLOH Facial Mist evenly over your face, keeping your eyes and mouth closed.
      • Let it air-dry or gently pat with a clean cotton pad.
      • Follow with your regular skincare — serums, moisturizers, or oils can be applied on top.
      The mist is lightweight, non-sticky, and pH-balanced, so it won’t interfere with your other products. It can also be reapplied throughout the day for a refreshing, protective boost.
  • Is CLOH Safe for Pets?

    Yes! CLOH is non-toxic, gentle, and safe for use around pets. It can be used on surfaces your pets come into contact with, as well as on their fur or paws in small amounts, to help reduce bacteria and maintain a clean environment.
    Safety tips:

      • Avoid direct ingestion by pets.
      • SUse only lightly on fur or paws, and allow it to air-dry.
      • CLOH provides effective, safe protection for your whole household — humans and furry friends alike.
  • How Often Should I Use CLOH?

    CLOH is safe for daily use on skin, hands, and gear. You can apply it as often as needed for protection, freshness, or cleansing without worrying about irritation, dryness, or harmful chemicals.

      • Facial and body mist: Reapply throughout the day for hydration and gentle antimicrobial support.
      • CLOH Active (0.020%): Use on hands, sports equipment, or travel essentials whenever extra protection is needed.
      • CLOH is designed to be lightweight, non-sticky, and gentle, making frequent use both safe and convenient.
  • Does CLOH Leave Residue?

    No — CLOH is a lightweight, water-based solution that dries quickly and leaves no sticky, oily, or powdery residue. You can spray it on skin, hands, or gear and continue with your day immediately.
    It’s designed to provide gentle, effective protection without altering the feel or appearance of your skin or belongings.

  • Can I Mix CLOH with Other Skincare Products?

    No, CLOH should not be mixed directly into toners, moisturizers, or other skincare products. For best results, spray CLOH Facial Mist directly onto clean skin, let it air-dry, and then follow with your regular serums or moisturizers.
    This ensures that CLOH maintains its stability, effectiveness, and gentle antimicrobial properties while still complementing your skincare routine.

  • Can CLOH Be Used on Sensitive Skin?

    Yes! CLOH is pH-balanced, alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and non-irritating, making it safe for all skin types — including sensitive and reactive skin. Its gentle formulation allows you to enjoy effective antimicrobial protection without dryness, stinging, or irritation.
    For best results, spray on clean skin and let it air-dry before applying other skincare products.

  • I Have Severe Face and Back Acne. Is CLOH Safe to Use on My Skin?

    Yes — CLOH is safe and gentle even for severe acne-prone skin. It’s pH-balanced, alcohol-free, and non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores or cause further irritation. CLOH helps by reducing bacteria on the skin, calming redness, and supporting the skin’s natural healing process.

  • Is CLOH the same as saline water?

    No. While CLOH is made from salt and water, it is not just saline. Through a scientific process called electrochemical activation, saltwater is transformed into hypochlorous acid (HOCl) — a powerful yet skin-safe molecule your body naturally produces to fight germs.

  • Can CLOH replace my hand sanitizer?

    Yes — CLOH kills germs effectively without alcohol, making it a gentler alternative to traditional hand sanitizers. For best results, we recommend using our CLOH Active (0.020%) formula for hand sanitizing.

  • Can CLOH be used on sunburns or razor burn?

    Yes — CLOH is gentle, soothing, and non-irritating, making it safe to use on sensitive skin areas like sunburns or razor burn. It helps calm redness while keeping skin clean as it recovers.

  • Is CLOH safe for children’s toys or baby gear?

    Yes — CLOH is non-toxic, alcohol-free, and residue-free, making it safe to use on toys, highchairs, and baby gear. Just spray and let it air-dry — no rinsing needed.

  • What happens if my bottle freezes or gets too hot?

    Extreme heat and direct sunlight can degrade HOCl, breaking it down into salt and water, which reduces its effectiveness. Freezing doesn’t chemically degrade it, but ice crystals can destabilize the solution and affect its potency once thawed. For best results, store CLOH in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight, and avoid freezing.
