TikTok Spotlights Hypochlorous Acid: Discover the Reasons Behind Its Popular Multi-Purpose Skin Spray

In a world where finding products that truly deliver on their promises can be a challenge, one solution seems to be standing out: hypochlorous acid. This water-like solution, non-toxic and different from bleach, is making waves in various industries, from beauty to healthcare.

Ingeborg van Lotringen, GTG Beauty Director, has been investigating this trend. Known for her ability to sort the wheat from the chaff and her allergy to hype, van Lotringen has found hypochlorous acid to be a game-changer.

Originally, hypochlorous acid was mainly accessible as a dermatologically endorsed treatment for acne and eczema relief. However, in recent months, it has become a central product in the new beauty box and a trend on TikTok.

Leucillin Multi-Pet Antiseptic Skincare First Aid Spray, for instance, is vet-approved and can be used on pets' cuts, abrasions, insect bites, and hooves. For humans, products like Purifeyes Professional Spray, developed by oculoplastic surgeons, are gentle on the skin, resetting its pH balance to neutral and helping it retain moisture.

Hypochlorous acid is not just a beauty secret, though. It's also being used by aestheticians, cosmetic doctors, and surgeons to rid skin of contaminants before and after procedures. It's even being used for disinfecting and skin purifying, and has been shown to be effective against Coronavirus.

Isoclean Hypochlorous Cleansing Solution is available in four sizes and can be used anywhere for cleansing and disinfecting. The Boots Ingredients Deep Moisture Spray combines hypochlorous with hydrating aloe vera for quick calming and purifying of thirsty, hot skin.

Hypochlorous acid can also be used as a cleanser, toner, hand sanitizer, surface disinfectant, mouthwash, treatment for eye infections, mucous membranes, athlete's foot, skin gadget purifier, disinfectant for scrapes and nicks, sunburn treatment, gym bag staple, and for keeping new piercings sanitized.

Despite its wide-ranging uses, it's important to note that hypochlorous acid is not yet registered for use as a biocide in the UK, so brands cannot claim it kills bacteria or viruses. However, its 99.99% effectiveness in killing bacteria, viruses, molds, and spores speaks for itself.

Whether you're a pet owner, a beauty enthusiast, or simply looking for a versatile disinfectant, hypochlorous acid might just be the solution you've been searching for. From Leucillin for your pets to Purifeyes for your eyes, there's a hypochlorous product to suit every need.
