Cleansing water is made from the natural antimicrobial active hypochlorous. It is an active made in our bodies by our immune system to fight off harmful infections.  Highly specialised killer immune cells, known as neutrophils, patrol our blood fighting bacterial infections. When detected the cell secretes an enzyme triggering a biochemical cascade that ultimately makes hypochlorous. This wonder substance then works very fast to break down the bacterial cell wall, killing it and eliminating the infection.   It's no surprise then that when made correctly, cleansing water is up to 100 times more powerful than bleach and works within seconds of contact. Due to its neutral charge it has the ability to infiltrate pretty much any microbe, including spores. Yet, because it's made within us, it doesn't cause any irritation. Even if accidentally ingested (though we don't recommend drinking it) making it safe to use on the most sensitive individuals, even around babies.
