Hypochlorous acid is a natural and safe disinfectant that is produced by the human body to fight infection and inflammation. It has been shown to be effective at killing a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, making it an ideal choice for use in the tattoo industry.
One of the main advantages of using hypochlorous acid is that it is gentle on the skin and does not cause irritation or drying. This is in contrast to green soap, which can be harsh and stripping on the skin, and colloidal silver, which has been linked to a condition called argyria, in which the skin turns blue-gray.
In addition to being gentle on the skin, hypochlorous acid is also biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making it a more sustainable choice for tattoo artists and clients.
There is a growing body of research supporting the use of hypochlorous acid in the tattoo industry. In a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, hypochlorous acid was found to be effective at reducing bacterial load and improving healing time in tattooed skin.
Overall, the use of San-O-Doc Hypochlorous Acid in the tattoo industry offers a safe and effective alternative to traditional cleaning agents like green soap and colloidal silver. Its gentle nature, effectiveness against a wide range of microorganisms, and sustainability make it a superior choice for tattoo artists and clients

Spray directly onto areas of toothache, cavity or damaged teeth as often as possible to prevent infection and to assist in healing any open wounds.
The most common cause of a sore throat (pharyngitis) is a viral infection, such as a cold or the flu. Viruses are extremely small and do not have cell walls, which most conventional disinfecting solutions take advantage of to destroy microbes. San-O-Dent denatures pathogens and DNA, allowing it to break down their protein capsid and membrane proteins, as well as halt the DNA replication mechanisms of the pathogen, helping a throat infection to heal.
The most common cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene that encourages plaque to form on teeth, causing inflammation of the surrounding gum tissues. Spray San-O-Dent directly onto your gums before and after meals as well as whenever you feel discomfort of the mouth. It will reduce inflammation and assist in repairing your gums.
There are so many ways to avoid the dentist’s chair. Using San-O-Dent daily in these ways can heal nasty infections, treat painful sores and keep plaque-causing germs at bay. You’ll be smiling in no time!

When used on surfaces, HOCl is the ideal solution for medical-grade hand and surface sanitisation because of it’s anti-microbial, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. But what most people don’t know is the incredible healing effects that HOCl has on the skin.
That’s why we’ve created San-O-Doc. Because this product is completely safe and 100% natural, it’s applications are truly endless! Let’s take a look at how San-O-Doc can heal the skin.
San-O-Doc helps stop bleeding in an acute wound. It’s a potent wound-healing and cell-repairing agent whereby wounds exposed to HOCl heal in a fraction of the time they take to heal without it. It even supports the gentle and hygienic removal of encrusted bandages.
HOCl has been shown to help kill a specific type of staph bacteria commonly associated with eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, rashes, acne, rosacea and more! That’s why San-O-Doc is a highly effective anti-inflammatory agent which reduces not only pain but also redness associated with inflammation and swelling.

And, unlike prescription antibiotics, you can’t develop resistance or allergy because HOCl feels right at home in the body.
San-O-Doc keeps superficial and acute wounds moist and prevents dermal dehydration. A moist environment has been proven to facilitate the wound healing process by enhancing angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) and collagen synthesis together with increased breakdown of dead tissue and fibrin (protein involved in blood clotting). This improves the aesthetics of the wound, while decreasing pain.
Not only will it prevent infections and destroy any pathogens on the area of application, it will also improve the healing process, decrease keloid formation (scarring), increase the recovery rate, reduce redness and swelling (inflammation) and protect your natural oils.
Applications of San-O-Doc can be used for (and are not limited to):
HOCl is the most powerful disinfectant against disease-forming microorganisms. It destroys biofilm and pathogens that might be protected by the biofilm. Because HOCl is an oxidant, it leaves nothing behind for bacteria and viruses to create.

Many workplaces are now offering reusable PPE solutions to reduce single item use wastage and environmental impact. Re-usable equipment also brings attractive cost savings, but regular cleaning and maintenance is essential.
Cleaning your PPE after you use it will keep it in great working order and safe. This is particularly important for any PPE used to protect against viruses or bacteria, as left unaddressed, PPE can actually become a breeding ground of contamination. Proper use, cleaning, and maintenance of masks, goggles, and face shields helps prevent the spread of disease. Failing to do so could end up putting you or someone else in direct contact with the pathogens you were trying to avoid.
Consider storage when not in use
PPE must be properly looked after and stored when not in use, for example in a dry, clean cupboard. If it is reusable it must be cleaned after every use and stored correctly. Avoid storing your PPE with other items such as consumables or machinery.
Comfort is key
PPE should help you be comfortable and fit correctly, otherwise it might be ineffective. Knee pads help soften uncomfortable positions, and gloves ensure you can comfortably work with sharp tools or chemicals . If your PPE isn't comfortable, look for a different size or type.
It is vital to check the expiry dates on PPE like hard hats and other equipment. Also having a working understanding of the legal requirements of the PPE you make use of will ensure safety when using it.
Make sure there’s enough
Keep a supply of appropriate disposable items. They are effective and very useful for dirty jobs where laundry costs are high. Disposable items are also easy to replace like ripped gloves. This is not the case for your skin. That’s why its essential that there is an adequate supply.
Use a Hypochlorous Solution to disinfect your PPE after use
San-O-Tizer is ideal for on-the-go cleaning and disinfecting of PPE through fogging, rinsing or spraying. HOCl will kill 99.999% microbes and spores present on gowns, nets and masks and more! It is especially beneficial as a preferred sanitising agent for PPE such as masks and goggles, since it is non-toxic, biodegradable and completely safe for humans.
It’s vital for every work place not to get complacent about personal protective equipment. Keep PPE in safe, working order and make sure you’re using the best sanitising solution to clean it. The goal is to maintain employee and customer safety while reducing any risks to the long- and short-term health of employees.

The population of the Republic of South Africa is around 58.7 million and approximately 1.5% of the population consists of Muslims. Within its developed halaal ındustry, the Republic of South Africa is considered to be one of the most advanced halaal certification practices on the African continent. The country is among the top five halaal product producing countries worldwide.
The history of halaal certification in South Africa is very old. Halaal certification, which started with meat products, spread over the food industry and fields such as medicine, cosmetics, tourism and restaurant services over time. Most of the major slaughterhouses and dairy factories now make it a priority to obtain halaal certification because of the importance of having halaal certified products in the country.
In South Africa, there are four main organisations that implement halaal certification:
1.South African National Halaal Authority (SANHA)
2.National Independent Halaal Trust (NIHT)
3.Islamic Council of South Africa (ICSA)
4.Muslim Judicial Council Halaal Trust (MJCHT)
The MJC is a Muslim Judiciary whose main functions relate to religious guidance, education, Fatawa, Da'wah, Halaal certification and Social Development. It is a Non-Profit Organization in a country where Muslims are a minority group. The MJC adheres to the code of belief of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah. It is the most representative and influential Muslim religious organization in the Western Cape, recognized locally, nationally and internationally for the religious, cultural and organizational roles it plays in South Africa.
SanOT (Sanitation & Oxidation Technology) is made up of a team of scientists, engineers and multi-faceted business professionals who are dedicated to manufacturing and supplying the safest possible alternative to current conventional health and sanitation products on the market.
We have created a range of innovative products using electrolysed Hypochlorous solution (HOCl) which is naturally produced as an extremely effective biocide against pathogens. HOCl works in the body to kill, attenuate or break-down harmful microorganisms by destroying their cell membrane, DNA, RNA and proteins, as well as halting its growth processes. Better yet, your body’s immune cells (neutrophils – white blood cells) naturally produce HOCl as a completely non-toxic broad spectrum biocide which not only enhances cell healing processes but also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.
We use ultramodern electrochemical activation processes, in accordance with EPA and ISO standards, to consistently convert pH controlled salt-water solutions into this incredible, highly bioactive and metastable microbicide. HOCl as a stand-alone chemical has been around for years, but only recently became commercially available as there have not been affordable or stable alternatives to standard sanitizers/disinfectants, until now.
Because of SanOT’s HOCl solution’s pure, safe, organic and non-toxic nature, it was able to pass Halaal standards and gain it’s certification in 2021 with the Muslim Judicial Council Halaal Trust.

]]>Occasionally, viruses spill over from infected animals to humans. Monkeypox is a rare disease similar to smallpox caused by the Monkeypox virus. It's found mostly in areas of Africa but has been seen in other areas of the world. Monkeypox was discovered in laboratory monkeys all the way back in 1958. Both old and new world monkeys and apes, a variety of rodents (including rats, mice, squirrels, and prairie dogs) and rabbits are susceptible to infection. But how did it make the leap to humans?
The Monkeypox virus long has been endemic in parts of central and western Africa, but after recent cases were discovered in European and North American nations, public health organizations sounded alerts around the world.
It’s theorised that it was passed on from infected animals, either by being scratched or bitten by the animal or by preparing or eating meat or using products from an infected animal. Monkeypox can spread through close prolonged contact with an infected person and continue like this in it’s infectious nature. This includes coming into contact with skin lesions, or body fluids, sharing clothes or other materials that have been used by an infected person, or inhaling respiratory droplets during prolonged face-to-face contact.
There are no treatments specifically for monkeypox virus infections. However, monkeypox and smallpox viruses are genetically similar, which means that antiviral drugs and vaccines developed to protect against smallpox may be used to prevent and treat Monkeypox virus infections. Monkeypox is usually a self-limited disease with symptoms lasting from two to four weeks. Most people with monkeypox get better on their own without treatment. But here are a few remedies that can help ease you onto the speedy road to recovery!
Infection
How do you kill a virus with natural products? Easy; San-O-Tizer. San-O-Tizer is the ideal anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal solution for disinfecting your hands, home and surfaces so that nasties don’t spread. It has been lab tested in European labs and approved for being an effective disinfectant against Poxviridae (including Monkeypox). This product is completely safe and 100% natural. Apply to the designated area by spraying, fogging, or immersing and allow the solution to air-dry.
Temperature
Lowering a mild temperature can be very straightforward…stay cool. Sit in a bath of lukewarm water, wear light pajamas or clothing and drink plenty of cool or room-temperature water.
Headaches & Body Aches
Your generic aspirin will do the trick, but you can also include the following to ease the pain:
Exhaustion
For a quick pick-me-up, put two drops of peppermint oil on a tissue or handkerchief, hold it to your nose, and breathe deeply. Sip water all day long—at least eight glasses. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty, because your “thirst alarm” isn’t always accurate. Even a little dehydration can make you fatigued. Stretching as often as possible aslo helps oxygenate your body and give you that little boost you need!
Skin
It's only during that healing phase when there's crusting and the skin is regenerating a bit, causing a bout of itching. These Monkeypox lesions may also lead to hypo- or hyper-pigmentation and scarring, and lighter areas where lesions were in people with dark skin. Combat this with San-O-Doc Hypochlorous Solution (HOCl). This solution is safe to use on all skin types and can be sprayed directly onto open wounds, burns, bites, rashes, and eczema to reduce inflammation, promote hydration and disinfect the area from fungal, viral and bacterial infections.
San-O-Doc is also cell-repairing. There are multiple ways in which damaged, dehydrated or non-functional cells are repaired, many of which are initiated or enhanced by the presence of HOCl. One of the first types of cells recruited to a wound site are white blood cells, which secretes HOCl. As a result of the release of HOCl, an increase in the production of cytokines (healing messenger proteins) and growth factors (stimulate cellular division) occurs. Taurine, an amino acid, is also chemically transformed to Taurine Chloramine which is a powerful wound healing factor.
To most, the recent Monkeypox outbreak has echoes of the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. But scientists say it's not the same at all. Monkeypox is nowhere near as transmissible as COVID-19, nor is it as deadly. They know how it spreads and how it can be stopped. Especially with SanOT’s range of disinfecting, sanitising and healing products. Keep your home stocked!
Here are the most common household pets ranked from most hygienic to least hygienic
Keeping your home disinfected and cleaning up after your pet doesn't have to be a hassle. With the right products, keeping your pet household clean can be easy. Let’s have a look at how to prevent the spread of germs between pets and people.
Rodents
Hamsters, rats and guinea pigs are naturally clean animals with almost zero odours. Unlike lots of other pets, they don't require a lot of hygienic maintenance, but at the very least you'll want to clean their cages on a weekly basis.
Dogs
Keeping your dog's fur, teeth, nails, skin, ears, eyes, and paws clean is good for him or her as well as for your sense of smell. Regular professional grooming is very important, but you can keep Toffee in good shape at home as well. A clean canine is a joy to all!
Cats
Most cats stay relatively clean and rarely need a bath, but you should brush or comb your cat regularly. Frequent brushing helps keep your cat's coat clean, reduces the amount of shedding and cuts down on the incidence of hairballs.
Birds
Budgies are very capable of cleaning themselves on a daily basis, and if you provide a bath for them, their personal hygiene will be impeccable. Parrots, however, will need weekly showers. Along with that, their entire cage should be scrubbed down at least once weekly - for hygiene and social bonding - with a non-toxic disinfectant and hot water.
Fish
Depending on how many fish you have, and how messy they are, most tanks require cleaning about once every two weeks. Cleaning should involve:
✔ Siphoning the gravel to remove any debris and uneaten food
✔ Changing about 10-15% of the water and adding San-O-Pet Hypochlorous Solution (HOCl). Fish will not be harmed by low concentrations of HOCl and therefore an ideal treatment for algae and other build ups inside fish tanks.=
✔Check the filter is working correctly
Dogs
Love a wet, sloppy kiss? Think again… People tend to think that a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's, but a dog's mouth is just as full of bacteria as a human's. The most common bacteria in a dog's mouth is Pasteurella canis. It's also the most common organism found in a person's skin who has been bitten by a dog. Keeping your pooch’s mouth clean isn’t only safe for you but will allow your dog to live a happier, healthier, and longer life! Here are 4 ways you can keep your pup’s mouth clean:
1.Give you dog chew toys to enjoy
Cats
Your cat's breath should not have a foul odour, so if you find their breath is suddenly unpleasant, or if you have noticed their breath getting more smelly, take them to your vet for a check-up.
Dogs
Sleeping with your dog can help improve your health in numerous ways. From increasing feelings of comfort to reducing anxiety and stress, having a furry companion to sleep with can be good for both of you! Although they are not common, documented cases show people contracting infections by getting too cozy with their animals. At a minimum, your dog should be bathed at least once every three months. You can wash your dog as frequently as every other week. When in doubt, it's probably time for a bath (especially if they’ve just come home covered in mud from a long walk in the park).
Cats
Up to 30 per cent of people have some kind of allergic reaction to cats or dogs, and allergies to cats are twice as common as reactions to dogs, experts say. An effective way to avoid pesky allergies is to spray San-O-Pet Hypochlorous Solution over your animals entire body to clean their coat and neutralise any pathogens as well as reduce and eliminate any bodily odors. For animals with thick coats or long hair, it is advised to brush them while spraying their coat to ensure San-O-Pet can cover as much surface area of the skin. This will also alleviate seasonal allergies around your feline’s shedding coat.
Dogs
You should wash or wipe his bottom on a daily basis to keep it clean or at the least once a week. Special canine wipes can be used, or you can use a simple damp washcloth to do the trick.
Cats
Cats are fastidiously clean animals and bury their waste matter when they use the litter box, they sometimes end up tracking their litter and poop outside of their box. Litter boxes are dirty places, and cats’ paws can capture bits of cat litter and waste, which can end up in your bed, on your couch and even on kitchen counters. Spray your kitty’s litter box and surrounding area daily with San-O-Pet to effectively kill bacteria in and around it.
Rodents
Humans can develop LCMV infection from exposure to rodent urine, droppings, saliva, or nesting material of infected rodents. Virus transmission can also occur when these materials are directly introduced into broken skin or into the nose, eyes, or mouth or by a bite from an infected animal. That is why cleaning your hamster’s or rat’s cage with the correct disinfecting agent regularly is vital. San-O-Pet is a highly effective, natural and non-toxic choice for cleaning the viral, microbial, bacterial growth off of your rodent’s cages. Once the product is sprayed on the cage, bedding or nesting materials, there is no need to rinse or wipe. Simply air-dry.
To ensure your beloved pet is drinking clean water, and not being exposed to any parasites, you can dilute 10ml to 30 ml of San-O-Pet per liter of drinking water.
Still havent’t heard of San-O-Pet Hypochlorous Solution as an completely natural and effective disinfecting solution for your pet? To protect yourself and furry friends, SanOT has developed San-O-Pet; a solution that ensures your animals do no bring home any undesirable infections that could affect your family. San-O-Pet is a scientifically formulated electrolyzed Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl). HOCl is naturally produced in human and animal white blood cells as the body's defense against bacteria, viruses, spores, biofilms, fungi and other micro-organisms.
HOCl is a potent disinfectant and antimicrobial agent and also has cell-repairing properties and induces an anti-inflammatory response in your body. Since it is also 100% biodegradable, it is not necessary to wipe or rinse the area of application after spraying, dipping, wiping or submerging your animals in San-O-Pet.
What’s gives pet owners even more peace of mind is that San-O-Pet is free from alcohol, ammonia, bleaches, sulfates, copper, phenols, sulfur, iodophors aldehydes, pesticides, fragrances, and silicon.
Love your pets? Keep them closer and cleaner than ever with San-O-Pet!
Here are some amazing facts about your mouth and teeth:
Being on top of your dental health can be as easy as following these 4 simple steps:
A toothbrush is one of the most important oral hygiene tools because picking the wrong one can sometimes do more harm than good e.g. overly hard bristles can do damage to your gums and cause lesions that become open to infection. Another important thing to note when purchasing a new toothbrush is that you should do it often (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - CDC - recommends replacing your toothbrush every 3- 4 months). Germs can hide and build up in toothbrush bristles. This makes it important to replace your toothbrush, especially after you've been sick, or you run the risk of possible reinfection. Bacteria and fungus can develop in the bristles if you do not regularly disinfect it. That is why San-O-Dent Hypochlorous Acid is the ideal solution for disinfecting your toothbrush on a regular basis. A few sprays of this medical and food-grade disinfectant directly onto the bristles ensures that your toothbrush is sterile every time you use it.
Why opt for a natural mouthwash? Natural mouthwash is gentle on even the most sensitive mouths. They also don’t include mystery ingredients or harsh additives. This is why San-O-Dent is the ideal mouthwash. San-O-Dent is a medical-grade, scientifically formulated Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) solution that is produced to international standards. HOCl is a completely safe, non-toxic, non-dehydrating and effective anti-pathogenic compound that is naturally produced in our white blood cells (which prompts the body's anti-inflammatory and cell-repairing mechanisms, assisting the body with the healing procedure). San-O-Dent is completely safe to be ingested and the best part is that there’s no awful after-taste. Just natural healing.
Halitosis - a persistent, unpleasant odour in exhaled breath commonly called bad breath - could be a sign of gum disease. Identification of gum disease early is important. You should regularly watch for symptoms, including bad breath, swollen or bleeding gums, and toothaches. To help prevent symptoms and lessen the presence of bad breath, spray San-O-Dent onto the tongue or into the back of the throat to clean the mouth and assist in destroying the bacteria responsible for bad breath and possible gum disease.
We all know that the human tongue harbors a lot of bacteria. While most of those bacteria are the good kind that help create a healthy environment in your mouth, other kinds can cause bad breath, tooth decay and gum infections. Not used to brushing your tongue? Position your toothbrush at the back of the tongue. Brush lightly forward and backward along your tongue. Spit out saliva that appears during the brushing and rinse out your toothbrush with a San-O-Dent add warm water solution to kill all the bacteria removed from the tongue. Do this every time you brush your teeth.
Hypochlorous acid was recommended by the South African Dentistry Association (SADA) as the preferred solution to use, above all other disinfectants (such as alcohol, ammonium, iodine, or other based disinfectants). This is not only due to it being highly effective at disinfecting, but also since it is completely safe, hypoallergenic and non-toxic. It should be your dentists number 1 recommended solution
SanOT has a wide range of San-O-Dent Hypochlorous Solutions that are ideal for your dental health needs, including value packs for you and your family to enjoy. Look after your mouth as a holistic part of your health and longevity!
San-O-Doc is a scientifically formulated Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) solution that is completely safe, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, non-dehydrating and anti-pathogenic. HOCl is naturally secreted in our white blood cells as our body’s first line of defence against bacteria, fungi, spores, viruses, biofilms and other pathogenic micro-organisms.
San-O-Doc naturally activates your body’s anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and cell repair mechanisms, without posing the risk of causing necrosis or poisoning your cells/tissue. San-O-Doc leaves no dangerous residues after it’s antimicrobial action since it is broken down after contact with organic compounds.
See ‘Compliance’ on our Home Page for all of our certifications.

]]>Fogging provides a range of benefits, including:
✓ Fogging is seen as being safe and effective if carried out correctly
✓ Effective at reducing air-bourne contaminants
✓ Effective at disinfecting hard to reach areas
✓ Highly effective at disinfecting horizontal surfaces
On the other side, however, fogging with standard chemical-based sanitisers has it’s cons:
✘ Hazardous to breathe – most types of fogging render the air unbreathable during treatment
✘ Complicated requirements – many methods have atmospheric requirements such as specific temperature and humidity. Others involve unstable compounds that are difficult to store and transport
✘ Runoff – Traditional sprayers produce a large amount of liquid runoff, which can spread pollutants, contaminants and hazardous chemicals in the fogging solution
✘ Many disinfectants such as alcohols are flammable and hazardous which makes them dangerous to fog
Excessive use of harsh, chemical-filled sanitisers while fogging can be highly toxic to Health and normal immune function. Inhaling and possibly ingesting particles from the fumes from sanitisers can increase your risk of serious illness and even certain cancers.
SanOT’s Hypochlorous Acid solutions are 100% natural, eco-friendly, biodegradable and non-combustible. More than being compliant with government standards, we have qualified our products for their efficacy against dangerous pathogens under international EU and FDA standards.

San-O-Doc naturally activates your body’s anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and cell repair mechanisms, without posing the risk of causing necrosis or poisoning your cells/tissue. San-O-Doc leaves no dangerous residues after it’s antimicrobial action since it is broken down after contact with organic compounds, which makes it an incredible wound care agent. It is not necessary to wipe or rinse the area of application post treatment of San-O-Doc making the treatment of wounds with San-O-Doc more painless.
This makes San-O-Doc is the ultimate, natural solution for a variety of medical applications such as:
San-O-Doc is non-toxic, non-corrosive and extremely anti-pathogenic. It is ideal for surface sterilization and cold sterilization for cleaning surfaces, including walls, furniture, and floors. The solution will leave no harmful residues and will destroy any micro-organisms that it comes into contact with.
San-O-Doc is ideal for treating/washing PPE after exposure to dangerous microbes. Multi-systemic mode of action of HOCl ensures a good kill rate and while HOCl is broken down upon contact to organism material, leaving no dangerous residues. PPE such as masks and goggles can be used immediately after applying HOCl to it, without any risk.
HOCl is, highly anti-pathogenic, leaves no residues and is non-toxic. It can be used to effectively sterilize medical equipment, prior and after surgery. This affordable solution is effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens, including typical hospital borne infections. This makes San-O-Doc an effective sanitizing agent for surgical equipment in any sterile environment.
HOCl Leaves no residues and is highly effective. Can be used to treat any medical tools that are designed to enter sterile tissue.
Intensive care and terminally ill patients will most likely have compromised immune systems. It is thus of utmost importance to ensure that these rooms are kept free from pathogens. San-O-Doc’s HOCl is appropriate for the task of battling the wide range of pathogens that are released when coughing, sneezing or diarrhoea that is common in terminally ill patients.
When babies are born the first composition of microbes that they are exposed to has been proven to have a downstream effect on the person’s general well-being. New born babies do not have an extensive microbiome to compete with pathogens, they are at risk of dangerous infection which are present at hospitals. HOCl could be considered as a preventative measure followed by exposure to a healthy environment of microbes.
Viruses are extremely small and do not have cell walls, which most conventional sanitizers take advantage of to destroy microbes. HOCl denatures proteins and DNA, allowing it to break down the protein capsid of the virus, and halt the DNA replication mechanisms of the virus. San-O-Doc is highly effective at destroying enveloped viruses (such as SARS, MERS, Herpes. HIV, Poxviridae, etc... and many more) under EU standards: EN14476/SANS54476
Hypochlorous acid has been proven to reduce 99% of the bacterial load of pathogens such as the ones that cause blepharitis in as fast as 20 minutes. San-O-Doc is completely safe, non-toxic and induces anti-inflammatory and cell repair responses by the body. It is safe for the treatment of eyes at appropriate dilutions of 10:1 using distilled or deionized water.
HOCl is one of the best solutions that you could apply to an open wound and/or burn; for its cell-repair stimulating properties and due to its potent efficacy against pathogens and biofilms.
Inside surgical settings air sterility is of utmost importance. Dispensing San-O-Doc into any HVAC system will help to ensure that dangerous pathogens are kept from entering highly sterile rooms. HOCl is also stable during vaporisation, requires a very low concentration to be effective and will not corrode the ventilation system. This means a HOCl mister is an ideal solution to HVAC sanitation.
San-O-Doc is safe to spray directly into your sinuses or the back of your throat to treat inflammation, infections or allergies. It can also assist in soothing a dry/irritated throat due to its cell-repairing and non-dehydrating properties.
San-O-Doc is a safe alternative to conventional alcohol-based sanitizers when it comes to preventing the spread of Coronavirus. Our eyes, mouth and nose are the primary entry points for the virus, especially considering that the average person touches their face up to 700 times per day. San-O-Doc has been medically tested and proven to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) under EU standards
Regular sanitation is crucial and HOCl poses no risk of irritating or damaging your body, especially your eyes when compared to alcohol. Unlike alcohol sanitizers, San-O-Doc can be directly sprayed onto your face and around the eyes, as well as into your nasal passages and mouth to effectively prevent getting infected.

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the active component in all of our products is a powerful Oxychloro compound that exists in electrolysed water with a pH range between 5-7.
This compound is recognized as “Natures Disinfectant” since it is naturally produced in all mammalian neutrophils (White blood cells within your innate immune system).
Anti-pathogenic Effects
HOCl not only directly attacks cell membrane proteins to deactivate and disrupt a microbial cell’s functionality, but it also increases the osmolarity potential across the cell membrane. The result of disrupted membrane proteins and increased osmolarity potential across the microbial cells causes them to rapidly absorb excessive amounts of acidic water and lyse from bursting. It is a strongly oxidizing and deproteinizing compound that reacts with thiols, proteins, amino acids, DNA, RNA and carbohydrates. Therefore, if a cell is not instantly lysed from contact with HOCl, it becomes non-functional and unable to perform basic cell processes, such as glucose oxidation, DNA replication, RNA synthesis and protein production, eventually causing cell death.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Inflammation is caused by the activation of pro-inflammatory factors as a response to mechanical damage or infections. The presence of HOCl has various means and processes of anti-inflammatory actions, to neutralise and reduce inflammation. HOCl can neutralise harmful microbial toxins before they can trigger inflammatory responses in infected cells. HOCl also neutralises and inhibits the messenger proteins (such as NF-κB kinase) that are responsible for recruiting pro-inflammatory factors.
Stimulates Cellular Repair
Whenever an injury occurs, a cascade of complex responses occur to prevent infection, control bleeding and stimulate cellular repair. There are multiple ways in which damaged, dehydrated or non-functional cells are repaired, many of which are initiated or enhanced by the presence of HOCl. One of the first types of cells recruited to a wound site are white blood cells, which secretes HOCl. As a result of the release of HOCl, an increase in the production of cytokines (healing messenger proteins) and growth factors (stimulate cellular division) occurs. Taurine, an amino acid, is also chemically transformed to Taurine Chloramine which is a powerful wound healing factor.
Hypochlorous acid is a powerful broad-spectrum biocide (80-100 times more effective at killing microbes than bleach) which also has a number of other incredible benefits/qualities:
