The invention generally relates to compositions of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and methods of manufacture thereof. In certain aspects, the invention provides air-free compositions of HOCl. In other aspects, the invention provides methods of making HOCl that involve mixing together in water in an air-free environment, a compound that generates a proton (H.sup.+) in water and a compound that generates a hypochlorite anion (OCl.sup.−) in water to thereby produce air-free hypochlorous acid.

Disinfecting compositions containing hypochlorous acid and acetic acid are useful for treating biofilms in or on tissue, including biofilms related to wounds or other skin trauma. The compositions are useful for treating a variety of types of tissue, both on the surface on beneath the surface of tissue. Compositions are provided for treating biofilms without inducing antimicrobial resistance.

The invention provides a skin disinfectant for treating skin with eczema, preventing bacterial proliferation, and removing biofilm. Compositions of the invention include hypochlorous acid, acetic acid, water, and one or more additives or excipients. The formulation process removes metal ions, reduces ionic strength, controls pH, and reduces exposure to air, thus improving stability and lengthening shelf-life.

A hypochlorous acid water preparation agent merely contains elements without concern for the human body, allows hypochlorous acid water to be prepared without effort, and can be stored or transported easily. The hypochlorous acid water preparation agent is an additive for preparing hypochlorous acid water by electrolyzing an electrolytic solution obtained by dissolving an electrolyte in a specified amount of water. The additive consists of sodium chloride, sodium diacetate, and optional sodium hydrogencarbonate. The additive is in powder form, particle form, granule form, or tablet form.
