What is HOCl (hypochlorous acid)?

• HOCl is a molecule produced naturally in the body by our immune system, specifically our neutrophils.
• HOCl has been used for years on millions of patients around the world, treating wounds and other inflammatory dermal irritations.
• A distinct manufacturing process is necessary to enable solutions to remain stable at the optimal pH levels.

HOCl has several specific properties that are beneficial for various skin conditions including those around eyelids and eyelashes. These include:

• Potent antimicrobial
• Reduction of pain and itch
• Reduction of inflammation
• Breaks down biofilm formed by S. aureus

Benefits of HOCl

1. Eradicates Bacteria

In vivo and in vitro data prove it eradicates organisms including Staphylococcus aureus, which is present in 90% of atopic patients In the topically applied hypochlorous acid gel studies, initial inoculums ranged from 1.4-5.4 x 104 CFU for the subjects included in the study and log reductions with Microcyn Technology Gel treatment ranged from -2.01 (99.0%) to -3.45 (99.9%). Results from the in vivo study showed that topically applied hypochlorous acid gel to skin inoculated with S aureus reduced the bacterial count by 99%.

2. Reduces Inflammation

• Data suggest it inhibits mast cell degranulation
• Super-oxidized water prevents allergen- and calcium-induced mast cell degranulation for 8 hours after a single exposure

3. Reduces Pruritus

• Clinically proven to reduce itch
  – 50% of patients reported improvement in itch day 1
  – 85% of patients reported improvement in itch day 3

4. Breaks Down Biofilm

• Data proves HOCl breaks down biofilm produced by various organisms

5. Increases Oxygenation

• Studies have shown increases in oxygenation (TcPO2) following application of HOCl solution. This has been associated with improved healing
