Hypochlorous Acid Spray NZ | SpraySafe

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a naturally occurring compound produced by your own white blood cells as part of your immune response. In skincare, it is made by running an electrical current through a salt and water solution - the result is a gentle, pH-balanced mist that is safe for daily use on face and body. At the concentrations used in SpraySafe, it is non-irritating, fragrance-free and alcohol-free, making it suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.

HOCl can help manage eczema by reducing the bacterial load on the skin - particularly Staphylococcus aureus, which is commonly found in higher levels in eczema-prone skin and can trigger flare-ups. It also helps calm inflammation. It is not a cure and does not replace prescribed treatments, but many people with eczema find it useful as a daily calming spray and as a gentler alternative to traditional bleach baths. If your eczema is severe, always work with your GP or dermatologist alongside any skincare additions.

Yes - HOCl is one of the more rosacea-friendly options available because it targets surface bacteria and calms inflammation without the irritation that many actives cause. It will not cure rosacea, but regular use as a daily mist can help reduce redness and keep reactive skin more settled. Spray onto clean skin and allow to dry fully before applying any other products.

Chemically, HOCl is related to sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) - but the concentration and pH are completely different. SpraySafe contains HOCl at 40-60 parts per million, which is well within NZ drinking water standards and far lower than any cleaning product. The skin-safe, pH-balanced formulation means it does not strip, dry or irritate - it works gently with your skin's own biology rather than against it.

Yes. SpraySafe is a New Zealand-owned company manufacturing in Auckland from pure NZ water. There are no synthetic additives or preservatives - just water and hypochlorous acid. The simplicity of the ingredient list is part of what makes it effective and well-tolerated.

Yes - and at Lucere this is one of the primary reasons I stock it. After BBL, MOXI, Sylfirm X or Procell Microchanneling, the skin barrier is temporarily compromised and more vulnerable to bacteria. Spraying HOCl onto clean skin in the days following treatment creates a protective antimicrobial environment that supports healing without disrupting the recovery process. It does not interfere with cell regrowth the way harsher antiseptics can.

Spray generously onto clean, dry skin - face or body. Allow to air dry completely before applying any other products. You can use it morning and night as part of your regular routine, after workouts, after sun exposure, or any time skin feels reactive or irritated. No need to rinse off.

No - store at room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat. HOCl is a naturally unstable molecule, which is why quality of manufacture and packaging matters. SpraySafe is formulated and packaged to maintain stability at room temperature for its shelf life.

SpraySafe is gentle enough for use around the eye area - many people use HOCl sprays for eyelid hygiene and to soothe irritation around the eyes. Avoid spraying directly into open eyes. If you have a specific eye condition, check with your optometrist or GP first.
