The Science Behind Sauber HOCl
Naturally powerful. Clinically safe. Backed by science.
At the core of every Sauber disinfectant spray is hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a simple yet highly effective compound. It’s not a new discovery it's a substance your body already produces.
What is HOCl?
Hypochlorous acid is naturally produced by white blood cells as part of the body's immune response. When a threat is detected, HOCl is one of the primary agents that helps neutralise bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.Because it mirrors the body’s own defence system, HOCl is both remarkably effective and inherently safe.
How HOCl Protects?
HOCl works by penetrating the protective cell walls of harmful microorganisms, breaking them down swiftly and completely. This makes it more effective than bleach or alcohol, without the drawbacks of toxicity or irritation.
Powered by Sauber HOCl
Not all HOCl is made equal. At Sauber Laboratories, we’ve developed a proprietary process that produces a more stable, longer-lasting, and skin-friendly HOCl formula:
- Manufactured in-house under strict ISO-certified standards
- 24-month shelf life without synthetic preservatives
- Purified using reverse osmosis for consistent, pharmaceutical-grade quality
- Formulated with moisturising agents to support the skin’s natural barrier
We also distill our own water and control every stage of production, from raw materials to bottling ensuring the highest standards of safety, potency, and purity.
