• Uses include lip care, under-eye dryness, hand hydration, and moisturizing dry skin on her daughter.
• It's a family-used product with numerous applications.

Hypochlorous Acid: The Natural Sanitizer [1:35]

• Hypochlorous acid is naturally produced by the body to kill infectious agents.
• It can be sprayed on the skin and offers benefits as a sanitizer, post-exercise spray, and for body odor, backne, and rosacea.
• Dr. Maxfield uses it as a replacement for alcohol sanitizers and sprays it on surfaces like cell phones and airplane seats.
