If you have sensitive skin, you know how tricky it can be to find a product that’s both effective and gentle. That’s where Touchy Skin comes in - our Zero-Touch Cleanse & Soothe Mist is designed to cleanse, refresh, and calm your skin—without irritation or harsh scrubbing. At the heart of this product is hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a naturally occurring compound that plays a key role in its gentle yet effective action. Let’s dive into what HOCl is, and how it works to benefit your skin.
What is Hypochlorous Acid?
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a compound that your body naturally produces as part of its immune response. It’s used by your immune system to fight bacteria, viruses, and other harmful pathogens. While hypochlorous acid has been trusted for its role in wound care and medical treatments for over a century, it’s also incredibly effective in skincare.
What makes HOCl unique is its ability to cleanse and soothe without irritation. This makes it an ideal choice for sensitive skin, where even the most basic skincare routine can lead to redness or discomfort.
How Does Hypochlorous Acid Work on Your Skin?
Hypochlorous acid is the hero ingredient in Touchy Skin, and it works in several ways to support your skin's health. Here's how it works on a chemical and skin level:
-
Gentle Cleansing: Hypochlorous acid is known for its mild yet powerful antimicrobial properties. It helps neutralise harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can linger on the skin. Unlike harsher cleansers, HOCl doesn’t strip the skin of its natural oils or disturb its protective barrier, making it an excellent option for sensitive skin. It cleanses without irritation, leaving your skin feeling fresh and balanced.
-
Anti-Inflammatory Benefits: One of the standout features of hypochlorous acid is its ability to reduce inflammation. HOCl helps calm redness, swelling, and irritation by targeting the cells responsible for the skin's inflammatory response. This makes it especially beneficial for soothing skin that is irritated, inflamed, or prone to redness. Whether it’s from environmental stress, sun exposure, or other triggers, HOCl can help restore balance and comfort.
-
Supports Skin Healing: Hypochlorous acid also plays a role in promoting skin recovery. It accelerates the healing process by supporting tissue regeneration, which is why it’s commonly used in medical settings for wound care. When applied to irritated or compromised skin, HOCl helps speed up recovery and encourages the skin to heal naturally, making it ideal for anyone with sensitive or reactive skin.
Why pH Balance Matters
The effectiveness of hypochlorous acid in Touchy Skin is also thanks to its carefully balanced pH. The mist is formulated to match your skin’s natural pH (around 5-6), ensuring that it works in harmony with your skin’s protective barrier. This pH balance helps keep moisture locked in while preventing harmful microbes from entering, so your skin stays nourished and protected without feeling stripped or overwhelmed.
