What Is Hypochlorous Acid?

A naturally powerful molecule, made by your body, and now made for your family.

The Molecule That Protects Us

Hypochlorous acid is something your body already knows how to make. It’s produced by white blood cells as part of your immune system’s first response. When germs enter the body, hypochlorous acid is created to neutralize them fast, effectively, and without harming surrounding tissue.

It works by gently oxidizing harmful invaders like bacteria, viruses, and fungi, breaking down their cell walls and stopping them in their tracks. It’s nature’s own defense mechanism, powerful, precise, and beautifully efficient.

Why It Works So Well

Hypochlorous acid is effective because of its size, charge, and reactivity:

• It’s small enough to slip through microbial membranes.

• It’s neutrally charged, meaning it isn’t repelled by cell walls.

• It reacts quickly with the proteins and lipids microbes need to survive.

Compared to common disinfectants like bleach (sodium hypochlorite), hypochlorous acid is 80 to 100 times more effective, and yet it’s safe, non-toxic, and non-irritating to human skin, even for babies and newborns.

How It’s Made (The Clean Way)

In your body, hypochlorous acid is made inside cells by combining hydrogen peroxide and chloride ions. Outside the body, we make it through a process called electrolysis, passing electricity through salt water under carefully controlled conditions. The result is a clean, stable solution of Hypochlorous acid at the ideal pH for maximum effectiveness and safety.

Modern production methods allow us to bottle hypochlorous Acid in a way that keeps it stable and pure, without additives, harsh preservatives, or unnecessary ingredients.

What Makes Hypochlorous Acid So Special?

• Naturally Occurring: Your body makes it. So do all mammals.

• Fast-Acting: Kills germs in seconds, not minutes.

• Safe for Skin: Non-toxic, non-irritating, and won’t sting, even on sensitive areas.

• Biodegradable: Breaks down into salt and water, leaving no harmful residue.

• Multi-Purpose: Disinfects, soothes, and supports healing. Without compromise.

A Molecule with Many Jobs

Hypochlorous acid is used in hospitals, in wound care, in food safety, and even in drinking water systems. It’s cleared by the FDA, USDA, and EPA in various concentrations for use around people, pets, and food. Scientists continue to uncover new ways it helps, from calming eczema, acne, and healing to inactivating viruses in the air.

It’s rare to find something so effective and so gentle. But that’s what makes Little Wonder, so extraordinary.
