H2Ocean : Piercing Aftercare Spray is a portable spray cleanser that launched July 2001 and is used to cleanse new body and oral piercings. This spray is commonly used to speed up the healing and aftercare process of fresh body piercings or modifications. The spray is formulated so that the enzymes start attacking the cell walls of bad bacteria and continue to fight off bacteria for up to 4 to 5 hours. The formula is not supposed to harm any good bacteria that is essential to healing the body. It is also hypoallergenic and has no added fragrances or colours. The natural sea salt, containing essential minerals, then feeds the body what it needs to nourish cells and increase cell regeneration. The H2Ocean Aftercare Spray is the only patented sea salt aftercare solution that is natural to the body and developed specifically for body piercings.

Ingredients and operation
H2Ocean : Piercing Aftercare Spray consists of all natural ingredients that are assembled to be safe for all skin types and are vegan, cruelty and gluten free. The ingredients include sea salt, purified water, lysozyme and sodium citrate.

Sea Salt
This spray is a large percentage of sea salt which is salt produced by the evaporation of seawater from The Red Sea. It contains about 82 trace minerals that are valuable to the healthy functioning of the body. The spray contains sea salt because of its ability to reduce and sooth skin inflammation and irritation. When the sea salt is used to cleanse a new piercing it invades the open wound and reduces swelling by forcing the moisture out of the surrounding cells. The lack of moisture causes the cells to shrink and remove the bacteria surrounding them. The high content of bromide and magnesium will allow the skin to work towards keeping negative skin reactions caused by microbes or allergenic elements away while soothing the skin. This ingredient in the piercing aftercare spray will also work to speed up the healing of any other lesions that may be caused by skin conditions such as acne, eczema, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac and psoriasis, while reducing the discomfort that is associated with them.

Purified Water
This is another main ingredient of the aftercare spray. Purified water is water that has been filtered or processed mechanically in order to remove any impurities before use. Purified water is used because added bacteria, algae, fungus and parasites have all been removed. There is an increased chance of fluoride, arsenic or lead consumption due to drinking unpurified water. Using purified water in this aftercare spray is supposed make sure trace amounts of contaminants are not ingested of put into the body.

Lysozyme
Lysozyme is an enzyme with antimicrobial properties which forms part of the innate immune system. This enzyme, commonly produced in animals, is included in this spray due to its ability to destroy the peptidoglycan layer of a bacterial cell walls. This serves as a chemical defence against bacterial infections.

Sodium Citrate
Sodium citrate also referred to as trisodium citrate refers to any of the three sodium salts of citric acid. It is commonly used in chemical form to treat water but can also be used as a food additive. It contains a saline, which introduces dissolved salts at a high concentration and has a moderate tart flavour.

Properties and Uses
The spray uses antibacterial properties to interfere with the growth and reproduction of bacteria in order to make it suitable for the elimination of issues that commonly arise when dealing with body piercings or modifications, especially fresh ones. The combination of sea salt and lysozyme make for the safe removal of discharge and lymph secretions when used as directed.

Recommended Usage
Allow the product to air dry after a direct spray on the piercing and the affected area as needed or as recommended, 3-6 times a day. Recommended usage varies from person to person and often should be used if other products that should not be near the fresh piercing have gotten into the area. This aftercare spray may also be used as a soak to treat other piercing irritations such as keloids or infections.

Other Uses

On Piercing
The recommended usage states the spray should be used directly on the piercing and left to air dry. Spraying on the affected area will allow the solution to soak into the area and attack surrounding bacteria.

Q-tip
The spray may also be sprayed on a q-tip. Using a q-tip to apply the aftercare spray to the healing piercing may allow for a more precise application. The solution will soak into one side of the q-tip while the other side can be used to wipe off the access. The q-tip will allow the solution to soak into the spots that are hard to access.

Cotton Ball
Individuals can use a cotton ball that has been soaked in the solution in order to apply the product to the fresh piercing. Cotton balls have much of the same applications as cotton pads, and can be used interchangeably. Although their name my lead to other belief the cotton ball is not made out of cotton at all but is made out of cheaper, bleached synthetic fibers such as nylon or polyester. The absorption of product into the cotton ball will allow for a soak on and around the healing piercing which will target all harmful bacteria in that area.

Packaging
In order to remain sterile and avoid cross contamination this spray uses a dispensing system that separates the product from the pressurizing agent with an air tight seal and multi-layered laminated pouch called bag in can or bag on valve technology. The laminated pouch carrying the product maintains its strength to ensure 100% of only the pure product is dispensed. This technology allows for a 360 - degree dispensing to make for an easy application to any piercing location. This type of dispensing technology gives the product a longer shelf life which is why it is commonly used for liquids and gels. The use of this technology preferred because it can offer total separation of the product and propellant to any product that needs it.
