Ozone Water
What Is Ozone Water?
Ozone water is clean water created by dissolving naturally occurring ozone into water. Ozone (O₃) is an allotrope of oxygen composed of three oxygen atoms. After use, it reverts to water and oxygen, making it a mechanism that is gentle to both people and the environment.
Its oxidative power is extremely strong even in nature, and it is utilized in a wide range of situations for purifying water quality and air.
ULAS has designed this “power inherent in nature” as a technology that can be applied safely and beautifully within daily life and industry. Quiet science that harmonizes with everyday living—that is ULAS’s concept of “designed cleanliness.”
What Is Ozone Water?
Clean water born from nature
Ozone water is a liquid in which ozone molecules (O₃) are dissolved in water.
It is a simple, environmentally friendly water composed only of oxygen and water, without the use of chemicals. Ozone has excellent oxidative properties and is attracting attention as water that helps create clean living environments, such as daily hygiene management and the breakdown of odor-causing substances. When used appropriately, it is gentle on the skin and enables hygienic support with consideration for the environment.
The power that supports
clean environments
Ozone water is widely used for daily hygiene management, maintaining cleanliness in one’s surroundings, and reducing odors. Without relying on chemicals or fragrances, it keeps spaces and objects clean through the power of nature.
The effectiveness of ozone water is proven by data. Verification results conducted by research institutions in Japan and abroad are as follows. These figures indicate that ozone water can inactivate most viruses and bacteria within a very short time of just 5 seconds to 2 minutes.
Expanding applications of ozone water
across diverse fields
Ozone water is widely utilized for daily hygiene management, maintaining cleanliness in one’s surroundings, and reducing odors, thanks to its safety and environmental consideration. It is gaining attention as a “new standard for hygiene management.”
As a method that does not rely on chemical agents, it is also attracting attention as an environmentally conscious clean technology.

Introduction to Research at the University of Miyazaki
At the University of Miyazaki, research on ozone water is being conducted across multiple fields, including medicine, agriculture, and environmental science.
These studies aim to develop safe and sustainable water utilization technologies.
In the medical field, research focuses on the potential application of ozone water for environmental hygiene, while in agriculture, experiments are carried out to protect crops and surrounding environments. The results of these studies have been published in academic journals both in Japan and internationally, drawing increasing attention to ozone as a low-environmental-impact hygienic technology. Drawing on these research findings, ULAS elevates “science-based peace of mind” into the design of everyday hygiene.
