Welcome to the HOCl Trust

Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) is a truly remarkable substance that occurs ubiquitously throughout the natural world. It has some phenomenal properties, many of which are not yet fully understood but are of great value to mankind in both developed and underdeveloped countries around the world.

The HOCl Trust exists to champion HOCl as a safe, versatile antimicrobial: educating the public and professionals via evidence-based resources, advocating its inclusion in global health policies, and supporting practical adoption—from clean water and hospital sanitation to home and veterinary applications.
