SOS Rescue Spray Refill

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a powerful yet gentle antimicrobial agent naturally produced by the human immune system. This molecule plays a crucial role in the body's defense against pathogens and has gained significant attention in skincare for its unique properties. HOCl is a small, highly reactive molecule with a pH similar to that of healthy skin, typically ranging from 4 to 6.

In skincare formulations, HOCl demonstrates broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi, making it effective for managing various skin conditions. It exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, aiding in the reduction of redness and irritation associated with acne, eczema, and other inflammatory skin disorders. HOCl also promotes wound healing by stimulating the production of growth factors and enhancing tissue repair processes.

Unlike harsh chemical disinfectants, HOCl is non-toxic and non-irritating to human cells when used at appropriate concentrations. It rapidly breaks down into harmless byproducts, making it environmentally friendly. The stability of HOCl in formulations has improved with advancements in manufacturing processes, allowing for longer shelf life and increased efficacy in skincare products.
