In the world of skincare and personal hygiene, hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is making waves as a game-changing ingredient. But one question often arises: is hypochlorous acid safe for skin? The short answer is yes – and at Aqualution, we’re here to explain why. As global leaders in HOCl science, application, and manufacturing, we’ll dive into the science behind this powerful yet gentle molecule and how it’s revolutionising skincare and beyond.
What Is Hypochlorous Acid?
Hypochlorous acid is a naturally occurring molecule produced by the human immune system. It plays a crucial role in fighting infection and promoting healing. When applied topically, HOCl mimics this natural process, offering a safe, non-toxic, and effective solution for cleansing, soothing, and repairing skin.
HOCl’s Role in Skincare
1. Gentle Yet Effective
Unlike harsh chemicals found in many skincare products, HOCl is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. It doesn’t disrupt the skin’s natural barrier, making it ideal for people with conditions like eczema, rosacea, or acne.
2. Antimicrobial Power
HOCl’s antimicrobial properties help to kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses without causing irritation. This makes it a sought-after ingredient for cleansers, wound care products, and post-procedure skincare.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Benefits
HOCl reduces redness and inflammation, speeding up the skin’s natural healing process. This makes it a favorite in cosmetic formulations designed for recovery and rejuvenation.
Is HOCl Safe for All Skin Types?
Yes! Thanks to its biocompatibility, HOCl is safe for all skin types. It’s non-toxic, non-sensitizing, and free from common allergens. Its neutral pH ensures it won’t disrupt the skin’s delicate balance, making it an excellent choice for children, adults, and even pets.
At Aqualution, we’ve harnessed this unique molecule’s power through rigorous scientific research and state-of-the-art manufacturing and our hypochlorous acid has been dermatologically tested and has Safety In Use approval.
