Emergence of Piercing Aftercare Industry

The emergence of piercing aftercare industry has undergone a significant transformation. Founded by innovative companies, like H2Ocean, that established industry standards for piercing aftercare products. H2ocean is the first company that developed sea salt based natural skin healing aftercare products. For centuries, piercings have been a form of self expression, and traditional values. With the growing popularity of body modifications, there has been an increasing demand for natural piercing aftercare products.

The world’s first body piercing aftercare product, H2Ocean Piercing Aftercare Spray, was developed in 2001. Its patented formulation includes hand harvested unrefined Red Sea salt and lysozyme. It is a sterile sea mineral based saline (not table salt) that naturally cleanses, heals, and nourishes the skin.

H2Ocean piercing aftercare products are 100% safe, natural, and free of harsh chemicals, preservatives, and artificial fragrances.

H2Ocean Piercing Aftercare Spray has successfully healed millions of piercings with excellent healing results and is one of the most trusted piercing aftercare products recommended by professional piercers and used by customers worldwide.

• What is the history of piercing aftercare products?

• How did H2Ocean change the piercing aftercare industry?

• How H2Ocean natural sea salt based piercing aftercare products set the market standard?

• Why have the companies that came recently in the marketplace struggled to match its quality and effectiveness as compared to H2Ocean?

• How did Eddie Kolos, the original piercing aftercare product inventor, establish the entire product range of sea salt based piercing aftercare products?

The Origin of Piercing Aftercare Industry

Piercing aftercare practices and products have advanced over time, from traditional methods involving table salt (sodium chloride), harsh soap, oils, alcohol, and hydrogen peroxide to now more science backed mineral enriched sea salt based solutions.

The lack of standardized piercing aftercare products led to a variety of complications, prompting a need for innovative piercing aftercare products that would promote faster natural healing without adverse effects.

In the early 2000s, H2Ocean emerged as a pioneer in transforming the piercing aftercare industry. Founded by Eddie Kolos, the company sought to revolutionize piercing aftercare products by introducing natural sea salt based mineral enriched aftercare products powered by lysozyme (a natural defense enzyme of the human immune system).

This innovative approach from H2Ocean was patented  and provided an alternative to homemade piercing aftercare products that often contained some harsh chemicals, or natural remedies that were not sterile causing irritation and slowing down the healing process.

Advantages of Natural Red Sea Salt based Piercing Aftercare Products

H2Ocean’s commitment to quality and natural ingredients from the ocean set it apart from other piercing aftercare products in the marketplace. Red Sea salt, known for its healing properties, became the foundation of H2Ocean piercing aftercare products.

Unlike some cheaper alternatives that rely solely on normal saline (a simple mixture of sodium and chloride), H2Ocean products harness the benefits of 82+ minerals found in hand harvested, unrefined Red Sea salt from the Red Sea. The Red Sea has a rich and diverse ecosystem and is one of the most saline water bodies in the world.

Red Sea salt contains 82 trace minerals that have been scientifically proven to provide optimal nutrition and a healing environment for living cells that matches perfectly with the human body’s saline system.

This natural environment proved to be more effective in promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and preventing infection when compared with weak, slow acting regular saline (sodium chloride) based piercing aftercare products.

H2Ocean: A Trusted Name in Emergence of Piercing Aftercare Products

Since its inception, H2Ocean has maintained its commitment to quality, ensuring that their piercing aftercare products adhere to the highest standards. The company’s dedication to innovation is reflected in its patented Red Sea salt based formulations, which have become benchmarks for natural, safe, and effective piercing aftercare products.

Challenges in the Emergence of Piercing Aftercare Industry

While H2Ocean is the first company to lead emergence of piercing aftercare industry. H2Ocean also pioneered in piercing aftercare innovation, like introducing the bag in can technology. This packaging does not allow any air inside the solution which then does not grow bacteria or have any contamination.

Many other companies have since entered the market, but not all have prioritized the same level of quality and natural ingredients in developing their aftercare products.

Many companies have chosen to cut corners by relying on basic saline solutions (a simple mixture of sodium and chloride). In this way, they neglect the diverse mineral rich composition only found in hand harvested, unrefined natural Red Sea salt. As a result, their products fall short in quality. The saline solution based products does not provide the optimal mineral enriched environment needed for faster infection free healing.

Other companies also choose to use the pump bottle that allows air inside. By doing this, they will need added preservatives to last on the shelf longer. Many others have tried to copy but without any premium ingredients it just will take longer for you to heal.

Entrepreneur Vision

Eddie Kolos, an entrepreneur with a visionary outlook, played a significant role in developing the emergence of piercing aftercare industry. His successful leadership set a path for the piercing aftercare industry.  Eddie also set a pattern that many companies in this field now follows.

Experience with Marine Biology

Firstly, Eddie got involved in marine biology, gaining vital insights throughout his early years of surfing, fishing and diving in the ocean. He built saltwater aquariums and equipped them with new technology for this marine ecosystem to grow corals and breed tropical fish naturally.

Building this system out of acrylic or glass tanks and the filter systems was his firsthand experience in a laboratory which he eventually became a scientist in the field of sea salt. For these corals to grow fast you must have the optimal clean sea salt water with constant testing the mineral content.

Skincare Products Expertise

He also gained distribution and skincare experience working in the sunscreen industry for a top leading sun care line that many of them made mistakes in formulations causing cancer. That’s why he finally decided to make a natural safe and effective skin care or wound care product. Safe for the ocean, certainly has to be safe for humans and the environment.
