Our Skin Defence Spray is made with HOCl (hypochlorous acid).
But what actually is it?
HOCl is a powerful antimicrobial molecule that your own body produces naturally.
Your white blood cells generate HOCl to help destroy harmful microorganisms as part of your immune system’s first line of defence.
And its history goes back a long way.
1915: Battlefield wound care
During the First World War, hypochlorous acid chemistry played an important role in the development of antiseptic wound treatments. Chlorine-based solutions, including Dakin’s solution, were used to clean infected wounds and became an important part of military medicine.
Today: Modern medical care
Specially formulated HOCl solutions are used in wound cleansing and have been studied for applications involving burns, ulcers and inflammatory skin conditions.
The science
Research has demonstrated HOCl’s broad antimicrobial activity against many bacteria and fungi. Its potential anti-inflammatory properties have also attracted attention in dermatology and skincare research.
Now: Everyday skincare
The same molecule has found its way into modern skincare.
It’s now used in sprays designed to refresh skin and support everyday skin hygiene, whether that’s after training, travelling, shaving or simply getting on with your day.
From the body’s natural immune defences to over a century of medical research, HOCl has a story worth knowing.
And it’s the ingredient behind BLOK O1 Skin Defence Spray.
Over 100 years of science. Made for everyday life.
Spray. Carry on.
