The Science

THE SCIENCE OF ORIMIZU

Inspired by the intelligence of the skin. Refined for the everyday ritual.

Essence in Every Drop.

Some of the most fascinating ingredients begin with the body's own biology.

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a molecule naturally produced by the immune system, known for its role in the body's natural defence against unwanted microorganisms. Its antibacterial properties have inspired ORIMIZU to formulate a new generation of thoughtfully formulated skincare essentials.

Meet hypochlorous acid.

Hypochlorous acid is a molecule naturally produced by certain white blood cells as part of the body's innate immune response — one of the body's first lines of defence.

When the body encounters unwanted microorganisms, specialised immune cells activate a carefully coordinated chemical process. As part of this process, an enzyme called myeloperoxidase helps generate hypochlorous acid from chloride ions and hydrogen peroxide.

The result is a molecule involved in the body's complex defence mechanisms.

It's a beautiful example of biology at work: a sophisticated process occurring at a microscopic level, with an essential role in the body's response to its environment.

Scientists have studied these properties for decades, inspiring the development of topical hypochlorous acid formulations, such as the ORIMIZU mist, for use in skincare and dermatological settings.

At ORIMIZU, we bring science and simplicity together in a fine mist designed for modern, on-the-go care.
