The short answer is yes, Hypochlorous acid is gaining marquee status as an über-sensitive skin care and healing product. HOCl naturally exists in your body. It’s the body’s own defence response and is created by the body’s immune system (every single human white blood cell) as an immune response against infection and pathogens such as bacteria. It also plays a supporting role in the body’s natural healing process. HOCl attacks invading pathogens, breaking down the cell walls before destroying unhealthy invaders.
