Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) exists in your body. It’s created by white blood cells as a defense system against infection and bacteria.
HOCl attacks invading pathogens, breaking down the cell walls before destroying unhealthy invaders. The antimicrobial acid is lethally effective in carrying out its protective mission. (Think of it as your own internal Batman.)
It’s your body’s natural response to bacteria, and it is very effective at its job.
How hypochlorous acid benefits your skin?
Skin is incredibly tough and durable – a necessity given its role as an outer barrier protecting your inner workings. That front-line role, however, leaves your skin vulnerable to cuts, scrapes and all the bad stuff it’s working to keep out.
HOCl offers your besieged skin a little backup by working to:
Fight bacteria that causes clogged pores and acne.
Speed up wound healing and repair damage.
Combat inflammation and conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.
HOCl is nontoxic and handles this hard work while being incredibly mild on your skin. That gentleness is a byproduct of it being naturally produced by your body’s immune system.
