A dermatologist advised using a <b>HOCl sanitizer<\/b> at that time. After using an alcohol-based sanitizer, my skin became dry and chapped, which is why I wanted a<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterloc.com\/shop\"> natural sanitizer<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I asked the expert, \u201c<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterloc.com\/blog\/what-is-hocl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What is HOCl<\/a><\/strong><\/span><b>?<\/b>\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;HOCl can be a panacea for you,&#8221; she replied.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;How?&#8221; I exclaimed, perplexed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I asked, is <b>hypochlorous acid safe for humans<\/b>?
