SpraySafe transforms water into a safe natural, bacteria- and odour-eliminating formula. Stabilising the active ingredient, Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) so you can use it everyday. Hypochlorus Acid Water is a stabilised naturally occurring weak acid (HOCl) with a PH of 5 to 6.5.
Hypochlorous Acid Water is extremely versatile, it’s adaptability for various applications.
SpraySafe undergoes testing in New Zealand by Eurofins, adhering to the government's stringent IANZ standards. This ensures that the product meets high-quality benchmarks for safety and effectiveness.
The very small concentrate of the naturally occurring Hypochlorous Acid suspended in water has the ability to attach its self to the cell walls of bacteria and then punch through using the power of oxygen when the solution oxidises. The acid molecule then neutralises the DNA within killing the virus or cell nucleus of the bacteria cell. All without any harmful effects to humans, animals or the environment compared to many traditional disinfectants and sanitisers.
Yes. That's exactly why we called it SpraySafe.
SpraySafe is 100% safe and non toxic, Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) is harmless to humans, animals, and the environment in low concentrations—our bodies even produce it naturally.
SpraySafe can be used directly on the skin, on food and food surfaces. The technology to produce SpaySafe has been used for many years in other countries, not only as a sanitiser and deodoriser but in wound care and oral care.
Is Spraysafe product safe for babies?
Absolutely safe for all ages- it can do no harm as its water and HOCl and our bodies make that naturally to fight infection.
The Protect product is approved by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MAF) for use in food preparation, indicating its reliability and safety for use in settings where hygiene is critical.
SpraySafe is scientifically proven to breakdown the cell membranes of various organic compounds, including:
Staphylococcus aureus (Staph)
Escherichia coli (E. Coli)
Viruses
Fungi
Yeast infections
No SpraySafe is considered non toxic. Spraysafe is a by product made by combining water with very small quantity of chemicals similar to those used to make swimming pools and drinking water. The result is a sanitising water that is totally safe but with strong antimicrobial properties.
Our spray contains;
New Zealand water + mild levels of Hypochlorous acid (HOCl). No other additives like other serums.
Ingredients List:
Protect General Hygiene Spray:
Pure NZ Water PH 5-6.5, Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) 40-60PPM (0.006%)
CAS Reg. No. 7790-92-3
Protect Commercial Grade: (more effective for larger surface sprays or fogging application)
Pure NZ Water PH 5-6.5, Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) 100-150PPM (0.015%)
CAS Reg. No. 7790-92-3
The key ingredient HOCl is actually produced by our immune system, active in our white blood cells to protect against germs and heal wounds or cuts.
One of the key advantages of HOCl is its gentle soothing and calming properties. It helps alleviate redness, itching, and inflammation associated with skin conditions like acne, rosacea, dermatitis, and sunburns. It achieves this by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines and modulating the immune response, leading to a healthier and more balanced complexion.
For best results first wash and dry your skin in the area you want to treat. Then apply and allow to dry naturally, it will take about 15 seconds for the Hypochlorous Acid to do its job. Then you can apply any other treatments you want.
Where Hypochlorous Acid Water can help in your routine;
Daily Prep - calm skin and prep it for additional products, morning & night.
Post-Workout or On-the-Go Refresh - refresh the skin and prevent breakouts
Soothing and Reducing Redness - HOCl is naturally anti-inflammatory
Specialist Treatment - gently disinfect and support healing
Just a note - if the Hypochlorous Acid has not completely oxidised (dryed) and you apply a lotion with Aluminium as an ingredient there may be a colour change reaction.
SpraySafe Shelf Life Unopened Bottles: The product maintains its stability for up to 12 months when sealed and stored under normal conditions. Opened Bottles: Once opened, the formula should ideally be used within 3 months to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Note: if you use SpraySafe after these dates it may not be as effective
HOCl Degradation Over Time: The stability of HOCl formulas diminish gradually, with pH levels normalising as time passes. Travel, temperatures above 25°C, exposure to air and UV can accelerate the degradation process, impacting the effectiveness of the solution. Hence why having a local product gives you the best quality. Increasing concentration is often used in other products to counteract lack of stability.
SpraySafe's pH level is between 5.0–6.5, making it a very weak acid.
Effectively pH neutral, however the pH in the HOCI formula is maintained to maximize its antimicrobial properties.
​
SpraySafe Hypochlorous Acid Water: pH 5.0–6.5
Skin: pH 5.2–5.7
NZ Drinking Water Standard: pH 7.0–8.5
Typical Swimming Pool pH: 7.2–7.8
PPM stands for "Parts Per Million" and is a unit used to measure the concentration of a substance in a solution. In HOCl water, it quantifies the amount of chlorine-based active ingredients relative to the total volume.
Hypochlorous Acid Water is effective from a very low parts per million concentration, 10-30ppm. The product does not require high PPM. Products that do are not producing a stable solution. A stable solution requires precise chemistry & technology. Stability is affected overtime & through changes in temperature (travel). Therefore a local product is beneficial.
PPM is just one piece of the puzzle in creating a safe, effective HOCl solution. In reality, it’s the interplay between PPM, pH, chlorine levels, and stability that ensures your skin gets the very best.
Be sensible with any pressurised product near your eyes. Spraysafe is safe for your skin, eyes and open wounds but is not meant for direct eye contact. It will not sting anymore than spraying water into your eyes but we do not recommend it.
Everyday Medical Use:
Dentists use HOCl as a mouthwash
Doctors apply it to clean wounds
Used safely around the eyes to prevent infection
It is not intended for ingestion as the weak acid will kill the good bacteria in your stomach. It is however commonly used as a dental mouthwash so is safe for oral rinsing.

Good question, the idea is to refill your spray bottles + 30ml travel bottle! We do not recommend putting into any different containers as it may affect the potency and shelf life. Our bottles are designed to keep out UV and limit exposure to air as these expedite the degradation of the formula, affecting its stability and making it less effective.
Our Product has been thoroughly tested by Eurofins and you can find their report on the "How it Works page".
A Google search on Hypochlorous acid water (HOCl) will bring up research and many articles on the benefits of this remarkable technology.
