Just How Safe Is Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)?

BSafeHOCl Facial Mist has been SABS and CSIR approved with an effectiveness of 99,9%*.

Currently, the US Environmental Protection Agency has recommended HOCl as a disinfectant.

HOCl, as contained in BSafeHOCl, is a unique, nontoxic and biocompatible natural molecule produced by our own white blood cells as part of our own natural immune system.

The HOCL, also known as Hypochlorous Acid, solution contained in our Facial Mist, therefore, is safe for human usage including around babies and animals.

This solution, which some have named the “Miracle Molecule”, have been scientifically tested and our Facial Mist can:

be used on skin

BSafeHOCl – the biochemistry and characteristics of the HOCl molecule

BSafeHOCl – the biochemistry and characteristics of the HOCl molecule

The short and sweet of this miracle molecule known as Hypochlorous acid (HOCl – with a lower case “L”) is that it is created within the human body and produced by the various white blood cells of the immune system.

HOCl, as found in BSafeHOCl, is produced by all mammals; a substance that originates within the human body also known as an endogenous molecule.

There are different types of white blood cells (known as leukocytes) that act as your immune system’s specialised defence. These various white blood cells (such as neutrophils, eosinophils, mononuclear phagocytes, and B lymphocytes) produce HOCl in response to injury, infection and inflammation.⁽¹⁾

Many skin conditions, including aging, loss of elasticity, dryness, acne, blemishes, eczema and many more have an underlying infection, inflammation or loss of collagen and natural oils as the root cause.

This molecule protects us by effectively eliminating a wide range of micro-organisms and pathogens like bacteria, fungi, protozoa, microbes and viruses.

Due to the molecule being native to the human body, it only affects invasive entities by destroying the cell walls consequently eliminating or inactivating them.⁽²⁾ HOCl’s eliminating power has been proven to be highly effective. Even infectious diseases, which are caused by pathogens, are deactivated by the process of chlorination. HOCl uses chlorination by (forming chloramines and nitrogen centred radicals, resulting in single- as well as double-stranded DNA breaks, rendering the nucleic acid useless and the pathogen harmless).⁽³⁾

HOCl also acts as an anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, oxidizing and rehydrating agent within the human body.

BSafeHOCl Facial mist is created with a concentration of 180ppm. Effective against pathogens within 1 minute of contact, yet harmless to the skin and eyes, it leaves the skin naturally restored and rejuvenated.

At a concentration of 300 ppm, BSafeHOCl in tablet form, is effective in decontaminating surfaces within a 1-minute contact time. When diluted 10-fold, HOCl solutions are still effective in decontaminating environmental surfaces carrying viruses in a 10-minute contact time.⁽⁴⁾

In liquid form, HOCl smells slightly like swimming pool water and reminds of HCl. This smell helps to distinguish between hypochlorous and water.

Why This Facial Spray Is So Effective In Fighting COVID-19

Why This Facial Spray Is So Effective In Fighting COVID-19

Facial sprays have become the new rage in South Africa, despite life slowly returning back to normal. Although South Africa has been moved to Level One restrictions lately, and also taken off the red list for travel to and from the UK, the fact is that we are still in the midst of the third wave of the pandemic.

Experts are debating whether or not there is another wave on the horizon, and whether the government and civilians need to start preparing themselves for another influx of cases. Whether or not another wave is imminent or not, the fact is that COVID-19 is certainly not disappearing any time soon.

In fact, whether you have already contracted it or not, and whether you have already received the vaccine, you will still need to be taking care of yourself and protecting yourself from the virus. That is why we have brought out a brand new product that acts as an extra layer of protection against COVID-19, as well as a plethora of other illnesses and diseases.

We took a look at how our BSafe^HOCl Sanitising Facial Mist is effective in protecting you against COVID-19, and what the advantages of spraying your face is.

It Tackles the Germs at the Source of Infection

By now, it is common knowledge that COVID-19, as well as almost all of the other airborne diseases, enter our bodies and immune systems through our mouths, nose and eyes.

The face is one of the most vulnerable parts of our bodies, especially when it comes to picking up and attracting various diseases and viruses. These dangerous germs attach, collect, and accumulate on and around the face causing an increased danger of infection. So, we can comfortably say that our face is really where the infection starts.

We have constantly, over the last year and a half, heard the warnings to not touch your face and to sanitise your hands before touching your face. But, wouldn’t you want to start fighting the battle against the viruses where the infection actually starts? On the face?

With the non-toxic and naturally produced BSafe^HOCl Sanitising Facial Mist, you can regularly keep your face free from viruses and harmful pathogens. The occasional spray can ensure that anything that has been picked up and accumulated on your face is destroyed instantly, raising your defences against the viruses.

It Adds an Added Layer of Defense

It has been scientifically proven that masks and hand sanitisers do form a very strong defence against the carrying and spread of germs and viruses. But the fact is, you do end up touching your face around 300-times a day. This is totally normal, and as much as you have tried to train yourself out of it over the last year or more, it will end up happening.

It is also important to point out that although a face mask does cover your mouth and nose, it doesn’t stop infections from entering your body through your eyes.

Now, we are certainly not saying that you should spray the mist directly into your eyes. What we are saying is that by spraying this on over your face, you are killing the germs and viruses that are sitting on your skin that you could potentially rub into your eyes.

Think of this as an environmentally friendly and completely biodegradable layer of defence for your face. It also kills all known bacteria, spores, viruses and fungi. So, if there is something that is sitting on or around your face or nose, it will be instantly dealt with a slight misting.

It Doesn’t Impact Your Make-Up and has No Impact on Your Face

The thought of spraying something directly into your face has no doubt sparked fear among the make-up wearing population of South Africa.

But, fear not. The spray has little to no impact on your makeup. It is a fine mist that you can aim directly at your face that will settle on your skin and not make your makeup run. So, you do not need to be concerned with your foundation or eye make-up being destroyed by long watermarks. It has been proven to not have any impact.

It also leaves no residue on your face. Because it is not chemically made, there is no need to rinse anything off, and you can be comfortable knowing that you won’t be left with that white powdery sheen after a quick spritz.

Can we also mention that, because it is natural, it is good for your skin? You can expect some skin rejuvenation as well as a reduction in overall infection over your face. So, if you have been battling the dreaded maskne (acne due to your mask), the facial spray is effective in tackling that pesky hanger-on, blocked pores and niggly infections which cause the acne.

Last Thoughts

In wrapping up, not only does our BSafe^HOCl Sanitising Facial Mist help tackle the infection at the source of entry in the body, but it is non-toxic and hypoallergenic. It is safe and gentle to use on the face and provides you with that extra layer of protection against COVID-19, as well as several other viruses and pathogens.
