What is hypochlorous acid?
Hypochlorous acid (also referred to as HOCl) has a low pH and is naturally produced as part of our immune system during phagocytosis. When neutrophils encounter bacteria or other pathogens, the neutrophils engulf it, generate HOCl and instantly destroy the microorganism. This process is called an “oxidative burst”. During the activation of neutrophils, these respiratory bursts’ generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the activated granule enzyme myeloperoxidase converts H2O2 into hypochlorous acid (HOCl).
Sonoma’s patented Microcyn® Technology optimizes our HOCl for superior efficacy and safety, while guaranteeing potency for the life of the product. With virtually no side effects, you can use our line of products as often as needed to cleanse the skin, relieve irritations, and restore your feeling of well-being.
Is hypochlorous acid natural?
Yes – hypochlorous acid is naturally produced by your white blood cells so that you can defend against infection and bacteria. If you are injured and have a cut or wound on the skin, or have surgery that leads to scarring, your body uses naturally produced hypochlorous acid to kill harmful germs, fungi and bacteria.
What is Microcyn® Technology?
Microcyn® Technology has successfully achieved over 80 regulatory approvals. It stabilizes the hypochlorous acid used in our products to ensure that it retains its antipruritic and antimicrobial properties.
