What is Hypochlorous Acid?

Hypochlorous Acid is a powerful disinfectant and sanitizer that is extremely effective against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Known to many as nature’s oldest disinfectant, it is found naturally in all of us. It is the very substance our own white blood cells produce to fight off infections. In a world where we push to be as naturally clean as possible hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is the future. It is the most effective and gentle form of disinfecting and sanitizing known to man.

Hypochlorous Acid is made with three simple ingredients: salt, water and vinegar. Once an electrical current is applied to the solution, the molecules break apart giving us 2 new molecules: Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl). Sodium Hydroxide is a common detergent used in everything from skin moisturizers to toothpaste. Hypochlorous Acid is the powerful disinfectant that we can use on just about anything with almost no harm.
