Hypochlorous Acid or HOCl was first discovered in 1834, and its benefits are now being fully realized due to recent advances in its manufacturing process. Hypochlorous Acid is a weak acid produced as part of the natural immune system of all mammals. HOCl is an antimicrobial agent that while native to human physiology is surprisingly potent. It has a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity that can kill microorganisms rapidly. Hypochlorous Acid works by damaging the cell membrane of a pathogen causing that pathogen’s cell to disrupt and be destroyed, thus halting its replication or growth process. HOCl is highly effective in vitro against a wide range of microorganisms, helping to fight infection, reduce inflammation, control the body’s response to injury and enhance its natural ability to heal. Hypochlorous Acid also acts to reverse markers of epidermal (skin) aging, protect against environmental aggressors and cleanse the skin. This makes HOCl an ideal support agent for cosmetic purposes, as well as a variety of skin conditions. Amongst its various uses, it has been found to be effective against fine lines and wrinkles. HOCl has no residual odor or fumes and in fact is an effective deodorizer. Pure and stable HOCl is recognized by the EPA as Non-Hazardous for human contact. It is registered in multiple products as sanitizer and disinfectant, even appearing on the EPA N-List of approved substances that are capable of killing Covid-19. As of early 2016 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has registered products whose main active ingredient is Hypochlorous Acid for use in treating wounds and various infections in humans and pets. The FDA also recognizes its value as a No-Rinse, Food Contact Safe Disinfectant. HOCl is an exciting substance with multiple benefits that is making an impact in the areas of beauty, health and wellness.
