The active ingredient, hypochlorous acid, has been tested by Hokkaido University, Japan and they found it was effective in killing the coronavirus in solution as shown in this report (automatically translated from the Japanese by Google Translate).

 

"The hypochlorous water inactivates the new corona almost instantly, it's safe, easy to get, and less irritating to the skin than alcohol. It can be recommended as a disinfectant for hands and fingers to prevent new corona infections."
- Hidehiko Tamaki, emeritus professor of Hokkaido University (epidemiology, from Nakijin-mura) who was the director of the Energy Education and Welfare Foundation who led the experiment.

Electrolysed Water and Hypochlorous Acid

Dew products are created by a simple process of running electricity through salt water - this is known as "electrolysis". The electrolysis process causes the creation of hypochlorous acid, a mildly acidic compound that is also created and used inside the human body to fight infection.

All Dew products can be refilled from our low-cost 2.5L or 5L refill cans.
