What is hypochlorous acid?
"Hypochlorous acid is a substance that our bodies naturally produce within our white blood cells, it works to kill bacteria and irritants that are harmful to us," says DeRosa. In layman's terms, it’s nature’s disinfectant — used to combat inflammation and speed up the body’s natural healing processes.
In the science world, hypochlorous acid is replicated by combining salt, water, vinegar, and electrolysis. The result is a formula that replicates your skin’s natural ability to fight bacteria and heal. When that formula is concentrated correctly and added to your favorite skin and hair care products, you can give your face and scalp a boost of healing energy anytime you need it.
In higher concentrations, hypochlorous acid can be found in common cleaners, like Clorox. It's used to disinfect surfaces, sanitize medical equipment, "and has even been documented to kill coronavirus," says King."Hypochlorous acid is a powerful killer of bacteria, viruses, and even fungus," says DeRosa.
But it gets better. Hypochlorous acid combats redness and inflammation associated with skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It calms puffy or angry skin and gently cleanses to prevent future flare ups. "It’s also really good to help reduce itching," says DeRosa, so you won't be tempted to scratch your skin and spread the infection.
