What is hypochlorous acid (HOCL), and why is it so effective?

Hypochlorous acid is a naturally occurring molecule produced by white blood cells to fight infection and inflammation. Ultrapure® HOCL mimics this process using patented technology to deliver 99.99% pure, stable HOCL with powerful antimicrobial properties.

HOCL is up to 100x more effective than bleach at killing pathogens, yet it’s non-toxic, non-corrosive, and safe for humans, pets, and the environment. It neutralizes bacteria, viruses, and fungi without harmful residues.

HOCL stands for Hypochlorous Acid, a natural antimicrobial agent produced by your immune system.

The effectiveness of HOCL depends heavily on pH and purity. Ultrapure® HOCL is pH-optimized to ensure maximum antimicrobial power while remaining gentle and non-irritating for skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.

Yes. It’s incredibly gentle, non-toxic, and perfect for post-procedure recovery. HOCL calms inflammation, supports healing, reduces redness, and supports barrier repair. That’s why it’s the star ingredient in our Aesthetic Range.

Our Veterinary and Medical ranges are both powered by the same science, but formulated for specific use cases. Always choose the right product based on the intended application.

Yes – our Medical Range is safe for use on children and newborns. Ultrapure® HOCL is alcohol-free, non-toxic, and non-irritating, making it suitable for delicate skin and sensitive areas.

Ultrapure® HOCL is made from pure, stable hypochlorous acid (HOCL) and is non-toxic. Small, accidental ingestion is generally not harmful and should not cause adverse effects. However, as with any non-food product, we recommend keeping it out of reach of children.

Ultrapure® HOCL Veterinary products are non-toxic and safe if licked or ingested in small amounts during normal use. There are no harmful chemicals, alcohol, or antibiotics in the formulation, making it safe for use on areas animals can reach, such as paws, wounds, or skin folds. If large quantities are ingested, consult your veterinarian.

Our patented process ensures 99.99% purity without salt or contaminants. Unlike “anolyte”, saline/salt-based HOCL companies or neutral pH competitors, Ultrapure® HOCL is proven for efficacy, stability, and safety across medical, aesthetic, and veterinary applications.

Saline only rinses an area. HOCL actively destroys pathogens while also reducing inflammation and supporting healing.
