Frequently Asked Questions
Product & Brand
What is Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) and why is it good for your skin?
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a molecule your body naturally produces as part of its immune response. White blood cells create it to help fight bacteria, calm inflammation, and help restore the look of healthy skin.
HOCl may help support skin exposed to acne-causing bacteria, sweat, and environmental stressors
What makes Mission 1o2™ different?
Mission 1o2™ is designed for performance driven skincare. All of the formulations, spray, hydrogel, and wipes contain stabilized HOCl.
Is HOCl safe for sensitive skin?
Yes - Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is generally considered very safe for sensitive skin. Dermatologists often recommend it because it can help calm the look of visible redness and irritation and reduce bacteria without disrupting the skin barrier. One reason it’s gentle is because your body naturally produces HOCl as part of the immune response to fight bacteria and help restore the look of healthy skin.
Why does every product contain HOCl?
At Mission 1o2™, we believe your skincare should work together as a complete performance system - not a collection of disconnected products. That’s why every formula is powered by Hypochlorous acid (HOCl). By including HOCl in every product, we deliver consistent benefits across the entire line, helping support skin exposed to sweat, friction, movement, environmental stress, and everyday life. Whether you’re training, traveling, working, parenting, or constantly on the move, every Mission 1o2™ formula is built to help your skin perform at its best. Whatever product you choose, you’re getting our core skin-defense technology.
Does HOCl dry out the skin?
No. Hypochlorous acid is generally known for being gentle and non-drying, especially compared to many traditional acne or antibacterial ingredients. In fact, HOCl is often used to help calm and support stressed or sensitive skin.Unlike harsh alcohol-based products or aggressive acne treatments, HOCl is designed to work with the skin, helping refresh and rebalance without stripping the skin barrier.
Can I use Mission 1o2™ products before or after I use make-up?
Yes, HOCl can be used both before and after makeup as part of your daily skincare routine.
- Before makeup, HOCl can help refresh and prep the skin by supporting a clean, balanced-feeling complexion.
- After makeup, many people use HOCl sprays throughout the day to help refresh skin after workouts, commuting, travel, heat, or long wear without needing to fully cleanse or reapply skincare.
HOCl is lightweight, gentle, and designed for frequent use, making it ideal for life on the go and skin constantly exposed to sweat, friction, and environmental stressors.For best results, allow the product to fully dry before applying makeup or other skincare products.
Can I use it with retinol, vitamin C, or acids?
Yes, HOCL is generally compatible with most skincare ingredients, including retinol, vitamin C, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and moisturizers. Because HOCl is known for being gentle and calming, many people use it alongside more active skincare ingredients to help support and rebalance stressed skin.
A few tips for layering:
- Apply to clean skin first
- Allow it to fully dry before applying additional products
- Follow with your serums, treatments, or moisturizer
HOCl can fit easily into both simple and advanced skincare routines and is designed for daily use, whether your skin is recovering from workouts, environmental stress, or active skincare treatments.
Are the products vegan and cruelty free?
Yes. Mission 1o2™ products are formulated to be vegan and cruelty-free. We do not test on animals, and our formulas are designed without animal-derived ingredients. Our focus is creating high-performance skincare that supports skin in motion while being mindful about the ingredients and formulations we use.
Are the formulas non-comedogenic?
Yes. Mission 1o2™ products are formulated to be non-comedogenic, meaning they are designed not to clog pores. Our lightweight, performance-driven formulas are created for skin exposed to sweat, heat, friction, workouts, and everyday movement, helping skin feel clean, balanced, and comfortable without feeling heavy or greasy.
Are the products made in the USA?
Yes. Mission 1o2™ products are proudly made in the USA using carefully selected ingredients and manufacturing partners that meet our quality and safety standards.
How should I store my products?
To maintain the quality and effectiveness of Hypochlorous acid formulas, store Mission 1o2™ products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
For best results:
- Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use
- Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures
- Do not freeze
- Store out of direct sunlight, especially in cars, gym bags, or outdoor environments for extended periods
Because HOCl is an active ingredient, proper storage helps preserve formula stability and performance over time.
How long do the products last after opening?
We recommend using Mission 1o2™ products within 6 months of opening for best performance. HOCl is a stabilized but active ingredient, so potency can gradually decrease over time once a bottle is in use - keeping it tightly closed, away from direct sunlight and heat, and used within that window helps ensure you're getting the full benefit of the formula. Unopened products are shelf-stable for up to 2 years from the manufacture date (see the batch code on the bottle).
Can teens use this product?
Yes. Mission 1o2™ products are designed to be gentle enough for most skin types, including teens dealing with sweat, sports, workouts, breakouts, or everyday skin stress.
Our HOCl formulas help support clean, balanced-feeling skin without the harshness often associated with traditional acne or antibacterial products.
Mission 1o2™ is especially well-suited for active lifestyles, including:
- Sports and athletics
- Gym and training routines
- Heat and sweat exposure
- Busy, on-the-go schedules
As with any skincare product, we recommend patch testing first, especially for highly sensitive skin.
Are the products safe for pregnancy and breast feeding?
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is considered a gentle, low-risk skincare ingredient and is commonly used on sensitive and reactive skin. Because HOCl is naturally produced by the body and works on the skin’s surface, many dermatologists consider topical HOCl products compatible with pregnancy and nursing skincare routines.
That said, every pregnancy and postpartum journey is different. We always recommend consulting with your physician or healthcare provider before introducing any new skincare products while pregnant or nursing.
Are all Mission 1o2™ products dermatologist tested?
Yes. All Mission 1o2™ products are dermatologist tested and developed with skin health in mind. Our formulas are designed to be effective enough for life in motion while remaining gentle enough for everyday use.
When should I use the products?
Mission 1o2™ products are designed for wherever your skin experiences sweat, friction, heat, movement, or everyday stress.
Depending on the product, Mission 1o2™ formulas can be used on:
- Face
- Neck
- Chest
- Back
- Arms and legs
- Anywhere prone to sweat, irritation, or friction
Our Hypochlorous acid-powered formulas are created to help support skin before, during, and after workouts, travel, long days, outdoor activity, and life constantly in motion.
Always follow the directions on each product and avoid direct contact with eyes.
How often should I apply the product?
Our products are designed for daily use and can be applied as often as needed based on your lifestyle and skin needs. Because our formulas are powered by gentle Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), they’re made for skin in motion - whether you’re working out, commuting, traveling, recovering, or constantly on the go.
Can I use Mission 1o2™ products every day?
Yes - Mission 1o2™ products are designed for daily use.
Why is HOCl good for athletes or active lifestyles?
Our products are well-suited for active lifestyles because they help support skin exposed to the everyday stressors that come with movement, sweat, heat, friction, and constant activity. Workouts, sports, travel, outdoor exposure, tight clothing, equipment, and repeated sweating can leave skin feeling irritated, congested, or unbalanced.
That’s why athletes and active individuals often use Mission 1o2™ performance skincare to help:
- Refresh skin after sweating
- Calm visible redness and irritation
- Support the skin barrier
- Help support skin exposed to surface-level environmental stressors
- Soothe friction-prone areas
- Keep skin feeling balanced and comfortable
We believe skincare should perform as hard as you do. That’s why every formula is designed to support skin through real life, real movement, and real recovery.
Why does active skin need special skincare?
Active lifestyles put unique stress on the skin that traditional skincare products aren’t always designed to address. Sweat, heat, friction, equipment, outdoor exposure, long days, travel, and frequent workouts can leave skin feeling irritated, congested, dry, or unbalanced. Repeated cleansing and harsh acne products can also strip the skin barrier, making skin feel even more stressed. Mission 1o2™ was created for skin that moves - to help refresh, calm, and support skin through workouts, travel, competition, recovery, and everyday life in motion.
Will this fit into my current skincare routine?
Yes. Mission 1o2™ products are designed to work seamlessly with most skincare routines. Because HOCl is gentle, skin-supportive, and non-stripping, it layers well with many common skincare ingredients including moisturizers, hyaluronic acid, peptides, niacinamide, and most active products. Mission 1o2™ was created to fit into real life - whether you have a simple routine or a more advanced regimen. It is designed to complement your skincare, not complicate it.
Can I use Mission 1o2™ products if I don’t work out?
Absolutely. While Mission 1o2™ was inspired by active lifestyles, the products are made for anyone dealing with the effects of everyday life on their skin, sweat, stress, heat, friction, long days, travel, makeup, pollution, or simply being constantly on the go.
