While A+D HOCL Spray is primarily marketed for diaper rash and a few other uses, a few fellow travel partners have reported some off-label benefits due to the properties of Hypochlorous Acid, or HOCL. You’ve probably heard about HOCL, since it’s been trending lately. It’s a naturally occurring molecule produced by your own white blood cells, known for its gentle, yet powerful, antimicrobial characteristics.
The most important off-label benefit is HOCL is safer than some hand sanitizers, and it kills a wider range of germs – including Norovirus. Most hand sanitizers are NOT effective against Norovirus – only very thorough washing with soap and hot water, or a shot of this HOCL stuff, can kill Norovirus.
But that’s not all!
| Other Potential Off-Label Benefits | Description | Key Property of HOCl |
|---|---|---|
| Minor Skin Irritations | Users have reported a calming effect on general skin redness, minor scrapes, and friction burns. | Soothing and anti-inflammatory properties |
| Post-Sun Exposure Relief | Application after sun burns may help soothe mildly irritated skin. | Cooling effect and reduction of surface microorganisms |
| Facial Mist or Toner | Used as a gentle facial spray to cleanse the skin and balance the skin’s surface. | Mild antiseptic and pH-balancing qualities |
| Scalp Environment Support | Applied to the scalp to help manage minor flakiness or irritation. | Antimicrobial and non-drying effect |
| Minor Pet Skin Issues | Used on minor scratches or dry patches on pets’ skin. Best to consult a veterinarian first. | Gentle wound care and surface cleaning |
These uses are not endorsed by the manufacturer and everything should be discussed with a healthcare professional before trying.
It is important to remember that “off-label” means the product is being used in a way not specified on the label. Always conduct a small patch test before using A+D HOCl Spray on a new area or for a new purpose. If you experience any adverse reaction, discontinue use immediately and consult a medical professional.
