In the field of skin care and daily health care, consumers have higher and higher requirements for products — they must be gentle and non-irritating, but also have strong functionality. Under this trend, hypochlorous acid, an ingredient that was once only used for medical disinfection, is entering the public eye with its advantages of “natural, safe and efficient”, and has become a common skin care and first aid spray for families.
In recent years, more and more skin care brands, maternal and child brands, and pet care brands have begun to launch their own “hypochlorous acid spray”. For brands that want to expand their functional skin care categories, this is a new blue ocean full of potential.
1.What are the specific skin care effects of HOCl spray on the skin?
Hypochlorous acid is a bactericidal substance naturally produced by human immune cells when fighting bacteria and viruses. Extracting and stabilizing it to make a spray makes it a gentle but efficient skin care product.
First of all, it is effective in fighting acne. The root cause of much acne is bacterial infection, and hypochlorous acid can quickly kill common acne-causing bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus, help reduce inflammation, and speed up the healing of acne.
Secondly, it can soothe sensitivity, relieve redness and stinging. For people with damaged or sensitive skin, hypochlorous acid spray will not cause irritation, but can balance the skin microecology.
In addition, hypochlorous acid can clean the skin, inhibit excessive oil secretion, and has a good conditioning effect on oily skin. It is also very suitable for post-medical beauty, which can reduce the chance of infection and speed up skin repair.
2.Why is hypochlorous acid considered a safe and efficient disinfectant for the human body?
Compared with traditional disinfectant products such as alcohol, iodine or hydrogen peroxide, the biggest advantage of hypochlorous acid is that it is “mild and powerful”. It can not only kill more than 99.99% of bacteria, viruses and fungi, but also will not cause irritation or toxicity to the human body.
It is part of the human immune system, so it is safe for the skin, eyes and respiratory system. In other words, it has both medical-grade bactericidal power and cosmetic-grade safety.
At the same time, it can quickly decompose into water and a small amount of chloride ions after use, without leaving any harmful substances on the skin or damaging the skin barrier.
3.In daily life, in what emergency situations can HOCl spray be used?
In addition to skin care, hypochlorous acid spray is also very practical in many sudden or emergency situations.
When minor cuts or abrasions occur, it can be used as the first barrier of the wound, and sterilization can be carried out immediately to prevent infection.
In outdoor activities, hypochlorous acid spray can quickly deal with problems such as mosquito bites, sunburn, and itchy skin, and relieve discomfort.
When a child falls or has a slight skin breakage, it can be used as a mild disinfectant to replace alcohol, especially for the baby’s delicate skin.
In epidemics, travel, and public spaces, it can also be used to disinfect masks, hands, door handles, mobile phone screens, etc. to ensure daily protection.
4.What skin types are suitable for hypochlorous acid spray? Can sensitive skin use it?
The answer is: it is suitable for almost all skin types, especially for sensitive skin and problem skin.
For oily skin, hypochlorous acid spray can help inhibit harmful bacteria on the surface of the skin and reduce the formation of acne and blackheads.
For dry or barrier-damaged skin, it can gently cleanse and promote repair without causing irritation.
For sensitive skin, pregnant women, children and even infants, hypochlorous acid is also widely regarded as the most gentle and safe choice because of its alcohol-free, fragrance-free and preservative-free properties.
5.Compared with traditional disinfection products such as alcohol and hydrogen peroxide, what are the advantages of hypochlorous acid spray?
Although traditional alcohol and hydrogen peroxide also have bactericidal power, they both have certain side effects. Alcohol can easily cause dry skin and strong stinging; although hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria, it can also damage healthy cells and affect wound healing.
Hypochlorous acid is different. It kills bacteria quickly, but does not damage healthy cell tissues. It has minimal irritation to the skin and has the effect of promoting repair.
From an environmentally friendly perspective, hypochlorous acid can be naturally degraded after use, does not cause environmental pollution, is not flammable, and is safer and more reliable.
6.How to incorporate hypochlorous acid spray into daily skin care steps?
After cleansing in the morning and evening, you can use hypochlorous acid sprayas the first “skin base spray” to gently clean and sterilize. When you use toner, essence, and cream later, the skin will be more receptive.
When problems such as acne, allergies, and redness occur, you can strengthen the spray locally to accelerate repair.
After medical aesthetics, such as water light needles, microneedles, and photorejuvenation, the skin is in a highly fragile state. Using hypochlorous acid spray can effectively avoid infection and improve the quality of postoperative repair.
Pre-makeup spray can also help reduce skin problems caused by cosmetics clogging pores, and post-makeup spray can play a dual role of calming and setting makeup.
7.Why is it recommended carrying hypochlorous acid spray with you when traveling or exercising?
When traveling, exercising, and camping, the most feared emergency situations are: sunburn, mosquito bites, falls, skin allergies, and hands that cannot be washed in time.
Hypochlorous acid spray is small in size and suitable for carrying around. It can be sprayed on hands, face, small wounds, shoes and socks to clean and protect.
For people who exercise, it can also be used for temporary cleaning of sports equipment, yoga mats, headphones, etc. to keep personal hygiene clean.
8.Can children and pets also use hypochlorous acid spray safely?
Many high-end brands have launched hypochlorous acid spray for babies, which can be used for baby’s red buttocks, eczema, drool rash and other problems. It is gentle and non-irritating.
In terms of pet care, hypochlorous acid can be sprayed on the dog’s paws, ears, and skin wounds to clean odors and inhibit bacteria. It can also be used for daily sterilization of toys, dog bowls and other items.
The premise is to ensure that the product formula does not contain alcohol and irritating ingredients, and the concentration is controlled within a safe range (such as 50-100ppm).
9.How to identify high-quality hypochlorous acid spray products on the market?
A truly high-quality hypochlorous acid spray must meet the following points:
First, the effective chlorine concentration must be clearly marked in the formula, and a third-party test report must be provided to indicate whether its bactericidal effect meets the standard.
Second, it should not contain ingredients such as alcohol, preservatives, and fragrances to reduce the risk of irritation and adapt to sensitive skin and special populations.
Third, the packaging must be a light-proof and sealed material to ensure that the active ingredients are not easily decomposed and extend the shelf life.
Finally, good brands often indicate the expiration date, such as “use within 60 days after opening”, which shows their confidence in the stability of the product and their responsibility for user experience.
10.How do manufacturers ensure the stability and effectiveness of hypochlorous acid spray?
As a professional B2B manufacturer of hypochlorous acid spray, we use advanced electrolysis equipment and precise formula control technology to ensure that each batch of products has a stable pH value and bactericidal concentration.
During the filling process, the entire process is aseptically operated, and anti-oxidation nozzles and light-proof bottles are used to delay the decomposition of hypochlorous acid to the greatest extent.
We can also provide brand customers with one-stop OEM/ODM services including formula development, registration, testing and certification, and packaging design to help brands quickly go online and seize the market.
