Chlorine-neutralizing sprays for sensitive skin and sensitive systems
Made for every kid — especially those with mold sensitivities, autism, PANS/PANDAS, or eczema. Our sprays make pool days easier, so you can focus on the fun, not the fallout.
How chlorine affects kids: It’s more than just dry skin and green hair
Ever wonder why your child still smells like chlorine after a shower? That’s because rinsing with water alone doesn’t neutralize chlorine; it lingers on the skin, hair, and even in the body. For kids, this can mean more than just irritation. It can disrupt skin, gut, and immune function — and trigger symptoms beyond the surface.
-
Chlorine can alter gut microbiota and challenge immune regulation — both of which are critical in children with chronic inflammatory conditions
-
Some children with autism or PANS/PANDAS may experience behavioral regressions or increased symptoms after swimming. Chlorine sensitivity may trigger immune activation or oxidative stress.
-
Chlorine exposure strips the skin’s natural oils and disrupts the microbiome, leading to dryness, rashes, and eczema flare-ups. Kids with eczema, psoriasis, or sensitive skin are especially at risk.
-
Kids with mold illness or mycotoxin sensitivity often react more strongly to chlorine. Post-swim fatigue, flushing, headaches, or neurological symptoms can be signs of cross-reactivity.
-
Chlorine vapors and chloramines can inflame airways and worsen asthma, allergies, or respiratory symptoms — especially in sensitive children.

Why Chlorine Hits Harder for Kids with Autism or PANS/PANDAS
Chlorine exposure depletes sulfur in the body, a key nutrient needed for detox pathways. This impacts glutathione production — the body’s master antioxidant — which is often already low in children with autism, PANS, or PANDAS. The result? Post-swim regressions, rage episodes, vomiting, or emotional crashes.
Your child isn’t overreacting. Their system is overwhelmed. Chlorine-neutralizing sprays are designed with sensitive kids in mind — to support the body before it gets to that point.
The Solution: Safe, simple chlorine protection for kids
Our vitamin C-based body spray uses sodium ascorbate, a gentle, non-acidic form of vitamin C, to neutralize chlorine on contact. It transforms chlorine into harmless compounds — helping protect sensitive skin, airways, and microbiomes from irritation and supports your kid’s natural defenses. Our mouth spray gently detoxes the body from the inside out.
We’re more than a vitamin C chlorine spray — here’s what makes us different.
Why choose The SwimShield Co.?
We replenish vital nutrients depleted by chlorine
Our chlorine-neutralizing spray combines magnesium chloride, glutathione, and iodine — three powerhouse ingredients that help support detoxification, immune health and skin recovery. This is especially important for kids with PANS/PANDAS, mold sensitivities or autism
We use natural, baby-safe preservatives
Our formula is preserved with Leucidal SF and gluconolactone (What are these?). Both are plant-based and among the safest preservatives available for babies, kids, and sensitive skin. These gentle ingredients offer effective protection against bacteria and mold — without the need for alcohol, parabens or synthetic chemicals — and make our spray safe for the whole summer.
We’re built for pools days: durable and heat-resistant
Our travel-friendly bottles are leak-proof, break-proof, and heat stable — perfect for tossing in swim bags and leaving on hot pool decks. Why does heat-stability matter? Many natural products — especially DIY chlorine sprays — can lose potency or spoil when exposed to high temperatures. Our bottles are made to withstand heat and sunlight without degrading our formula.
We sooth and protect sensitive skin — naturally
Our formulas is crafted with organic ingredients and sensory-friendly essential oils like lavender and Roman chamomile to help calm irritation, reduce itchiness, and support the skin barrier after chlorine exposure.
We offer gentle detox support
Our homeopathic mouth spray is used to help the body detox from chlorine exposure. It may ease symptoms like fatigue, skin irritation, and respiratory discomfort that can follow a swim — especially in sensitive kids — without forcing pills, binders, or baths.
