The Molecule That Does it All

In a world full of complicated ingredients and long labels, sometimes the most powerful things are the simplest. Meet Hypochlorous Acid, or HOCl - a molecule your body already knows and trusts. 

It’s nature’s built-in defense, made by your white blood cells as a “first responder” to everything from minor irritations and to infections. Now, thanks to years of scientific research (and a few patents), it’s being harnessed to do far more - from calming skin to cleaning counters and clearing the air. 

A Little Science, A Lot of Simplicity 

HOCl has been around longer than most of today’s skincare trends - in fact, it’s been used for wound care since World War I, though at that time it was much less precise and was much more similar to household bleach.  

 Scientists can now produce it through a process called electrolysis, combining just salt and water with a little electricity – and a lot of know-how. 

Here’s the key point: HOCl is not bleach. Although both come contain chlorine, HOCl exists in a different, skin-gentle form that depends on pH balance and is what your body already produces. For decades, the challenge for producers was shelf stability - the molecule was too delicate to produce or store at scale. But technology (and a little persistence) changed that. 

Why Your Skin Loves It 

HOCl is the ultimate multitasker for skin. It’s soothing, hydrating, and strengthening, helping calm redness, smooth texture, and reinforce your skin barrier against daily stressors. 

The best part? It’s non-irritating, non-stinging, and non-comedogenic - meaning it won’t clog pores or cause flare-ups. Whether you have sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, or just need a post-workout refresh, HOCl is as gentle as it is effective. 

Pro tip: Use it first in your routine, let it sit for 2–3 minutes, then layer your serums or moisturizers. It sets the stage for everything that follows. 

Fresh Air, Fresh Spaces 

The utility of HOCl doesn’t stop at skincare. It’s also a natural odor neutralizer - one that works smarter, not harsher. 

Unlike heavy fragrances that just mask smells, HOCl actually tackles the source: it kills odor-causing microbes and breaks down volatile compounds responsible for bad smells. 

Think: 

Clinical testing for body and foot odor shows promising results - and with HOCl’s clean safety profile, you can feel confident using it anywhere life gets a little messy. 

Clean Without Compromise 

When it comes to surfaces, our Sanitizer Disenfectant HOCl goes beyond “clean enough.” It’s EPA and EU-approved to disinfect bacteria, viruses, and fungi - including SARS-CoV-2 -  on both food-contact and non-food-contact surfaces. 

You can spray it directly on kitchen counters, highchairs, or food prep areas and walk away without rinsing. It leaves no residue, no harsh fumes, and no worry. 

A Few Simple Rules 

Why Briotech Does It Better 

We seal every bottle with an induction liner to protect the active ingredient, formulate to match skin’s natural pH, and use only two ingredients: salt and water, both of the highest purity. Our HOCl is clinically tested, stable, and proven - something most others can’t claim. 

It’s science simplified - and purity you can see, feel, and trust.
