Hypochlorous Acid in Eyelid Hygiene Routines
Summary
If you are prone to styes or eyelid irritation, maintaining consistent eyelid hygiene is an important part of everyday eye care. Gentle cleansing and warmth are commonly discussed as part of a simple routine to keep the eyelid area clean and comfortable. This article explains why eyelid hygiene matters, how hypochlorous acid is used in lid and lash care, and how Ultra Gentle Lid & Lash Spray fits into a stye friendly daily routine.
Hypochlorous Acid in Eyelid Hygiene Routines
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a substance produced naturally by the body and is commonly used in professional eyelid hygiene settings. It is valued for being effective while remaining exceptionally gentle on the delicate skin around the eyes, and it is naturally free from known eye irritants.
Clinical literature has explored the use of low concentration hypochlorous acid solutions as part of eyelid hygiene practices. A peer reviewed study evaluating such a solution found it to be well tolerated when used around the eyelids, with observed improvements in visible signs associated with eyelid imbalance. While this research was conducted in a clinical context, it helps explain why hypochlorous acid is widely incorporated into lid and lash care routines focused on maintaining eyelid cleanliness and comfort.

Ultra Gentle Lid & Lash Spray
Ultra Gentle Lid & Lash Spray is designed to support simple, consistent eyelid hygiene without unnecessary ingredients.
The formula contains just three ingredients: water, sodium chloride and hypochlorous acid. By keeping the formulation intentionally minimal, the integrity of hypochlorous acid is maintained without added components that may compromise stability. The spray is free from preservatives, alcohol and artificial fragrance, and is vegan and cruelty free, making it suitable for sensitive eyes.
Why Formulation and Packaging Matter
Hypochlorous acid is a reactive molecule, which means formulation quality and packaging play an important role in maintaining stability over time. Ultra Gentle Lid & Lash Spray is produced in small, fresh batches using mineral rich Scottish water to help maintain consistency and quality.
The bottle is specifically designed to protect the formula from light, heat and air exposure. This helps preserve the product throughout its shelf life, so it performs as intended from first use to last.
How to Use
Use as part of a daily eyelid hygiene routine. Spray two to three times over closed eyes or apply to a cotton pad and gently cleanse the lids and lashes. For best results, use after our Soothing Coconut Balm or Wipes.
Simple, considered and gentle, Ultra Gentle Lid & Lash Spray makes consistent eyelid hygiene easy to maintain.
