About this episode

The episode discusses hypochlorous acid, a powerful antimicrobial produced by the body, and its applications in healing and skin care.

Your body already makes one of the most powerful antimicrobials on Earth, and almost nobody knows about it. Hypochlorous acid lives inside your white blood cells. When you get cut, burned, or scraped, your immune system sends it to the injury site to kill bacteria, calm inflammation, and support healing. Scientists have known how to replicate it for over a century, but until recently, it couldn’t stay stable long enough outside a hospital to be bottled. Justin Gardner spent 20 years launching regenerative medical products, including skin grafts and advanced wound care technologies. When he came across hypochlorous acid, he saw something different: a non-toxic antimicrobial that works fast and aligns with how the body already heals. He licensed the technology and built Active Skin Repair to bring it to consumers. In this conversation, we get into how it compares to things like colloidal silver and manuka honey, why most products labeled “hypochlorous acid” don’t actually work, and how it’s being used for everything from post-surgery recovery to everyday skin issues.
