Harnessing the Power of Nature: Why Good Salt Life Is All-In on Hypochlorous Acid for Clean Living

At Good Salt Life, we believe in clean living, and for us, that starts with the chemistry we choose. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is the cornerstone of our approach, and we are all-in on this powerful yet gentle solution for cleaning and disinfecting. As a company dedicated to creating healthier environments for people, animals, and the planet, HOCl isn’t just a part of our products—it’s the foundation of everything we do.

The Science of HOCl: Nature’s Cleaner

Discovered in 1834 by French chemist Antoine Jérôme Balard, hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a naturally occurring compound found in the human body, specifically produced by white blood cells to fight infection. Since Ballard’s discovery, HOCl has since become recognized for its disinfecting properties, and over time, its applications have expanded into medical, industrial, and household uses. Although HOCl is naturally produced in the human body to fight infections, it wasn’t until Balard’s discovery that its broader potential as a disinfectant was understood. It’s effective in killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi without the harsh chemicals often found in conventional cleaners. This makes HOCl ideal for households looking to avoid toxic ingredients while maintaining a high standard of cleanliness.

But not all HOCl is created equal.

At Good Salt Life, we manufacture our own HOCl in-house, using a careful selection of the purest salt and water. Our proprietary reactor ensures that we create a best-in-class hypochlorous acid that is stable, potent, and safe. This level of control allows us to stand by the quality of every product we sell, giving our customers the peace of mind that they’re using a truly effective and environmentally conscious cleaner.

A Clean Living Mission

We see our embrace of hypochlorous acid as more than a business decision—it’s a mission. We’ve chosen this chemistry because it aligns with our belief that clean living doesn’t have to come at the cost of health, safety, or the environment. HOCl is the ultimate clean solution for those who value wellness, sustainability, and simplicity in their lives.

“I had no idea that the traditional cleaning products, while they may be effective in reducing pathogens on surfaces, were also harming myself, my family, our pets and the environment.” Says Adrian Fulle, President & CEO of Good Salt Life. “It wasn’t until I joined Good Salt Life that I learned that traditional cleaners and disinfectants are poisoning the air we breathe and greatly impacting our long-term health. From respiratory issues to allergic reactions and even worse, these products were doing more harm than good. That was the moment I realized that our work is more important than just making a profit. It’s about making a positive impact for others.”

A philosophy of servant leadership runs through everything we do at Good Salt Life. We are dedicated to bettering the lives of our customers by offering innovative, safe, and sustainable cleaning solutions.

“Our team is passionate about supporting others, whether through our products or our business practices. At Good Salt Life, we’re not just selling a product; we’re offering a way of life that reflects care for everyone.” says Sean Corrigan, Chief Operating Officer at Good Salt Life.

By manufacturing our HOCl in-house, we ensure that our high standards of quality are met at every step, from the sourcing of ingredients to the final product.

“I love going into the facility every morning, checking on the various levels of Ph of the HOCl, making sure the chemistry we’re producing is as good as we say it is. I take pride in knowing that what we’re doing is helping others.” Says Preston McCrary, Senior Manufacturing Engineer at Good Salt Life.

Why We’re All-In on HOCl

At Good Salt Life, the very name of our company reflects the core ingredient that powers our products: salt. Salt has been essential to life on Earth since the beginning. It is one of nature’s most fundamental elements, playing a crucial role in the health and survival of all living organisms. For humans, salt helps regulate bodily functions, balance fluids, and support vital processes, making it a core component of nutrition and well-being.

But salt’s importance goes beyond just our bodies—it has been used for centuries as a natural preservative and purifier. Ancient civilizations recognized its ability to keep food safe and clean water sources. Even today, salt is a key ingredient in sustainability efforts, used to improve soil health and in the process of making hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the heart of our cleaning products.

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the foundation of our cleaning solutions, is created through a process that combines salt, water, and electricity. This powerful yet natural solution leverages the strength of salt, one of the oldest and most trusted resources for purification. By harnessing the natural properties of salt to produce HOCl, we’re able to offer a cleaner that is not only effective and environmentally friendly but also safe for people, pets, and the planet. Good Salt is more than just a name—it’s the essence of what makes our products so pure and reliable.

Our commitment to HOCl goes beyond its proven efficacy. We see it as the future of clean living. In a world where sustainability and wellness are becoming increasingly important, HOCl offers a path forward for those who want to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising on cleanliness. Whether it’s our fruit and veggie wash, multi-purpose disinfectant, or pet care products, hypochlorous acid is at the heart of every formula we create.

At Good Salt Life, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this movement. We believe that the world deserves better cleaning products—ones that are safe, effective, and eco-friendly. And with HOCl, we’re delivering exactly that.
