Summary

303: In today’s episode, I’m joined by Justin Gardner, founder of Active Skin Repair, to discuss why so many people are swapping out traditional products like Neosporin for Hypochlorous acid. We break down how Hypochlorous acid supports the body’s natural healing process, why dermatologists have largely moved away from Neosporin, and how this ingredient can be used for everything from cuts, scrapes, bug bites, and sunburns to eczema, acne, and diaper rash. We also discuss the skin microbiome, medical-grade skincare, and what to look for when choosing products for yourself and your family. Topics Discussed: → Why Neosporin May Be Doing More Harm Than Good → What Hypochlorous Acid Actually Is → How To Support Faster Wound Healing → Diaper Rash, Eczema & Skin Issues In Kids → Natural Alternatives For Cuts, Scrapes & Bug Bites → Medical Grade vs Cosmetic Hypochlorous Acid → Acne, Skin Health & The Skin Microbiome → Sunscreen, Sunburns & Everyday Skin Protection Sponsored By: → Active Skin Repair | Support powerful skin healing without harsh or toxic ingredients. For the next week, Realfoodology loyal listeners can get their biggest discount, 25% off all Active Skin Repair products, when you go to activeskinrepair.com and use code REALFOODOLOGY at checkout.

0:00.0	We don't think of ourselves like a cosmetic skincare company. We think of ourselves as a skin health
0:04.5	company that's on the clinical medical side of things. We didn't want to come out with just a little
0:09.2	$200 serum that had hyluronic acid. We sourced a really high quality hyluronic acid from Italy.
0:15.3	The cosmetic side just doesn't have much regulation. Pepper chloros acid. It's one of those
0:19.9	molecules that stabilization really matters.
0:22.6	And you have to understand, ours is a proprietary medical grade formulation that goes through FDA clearance
0:27.6	would be the same formulation that you used in the surgical procedure.
0:31.6	So we have a higher level of regulation and efficacy that we need to be able to show before our product gets released.

1:01.7	endless for this product. Active skin repair is a great replacement for neosporin. We talk about
1:07.6	neomycin and why you don't want to be using this synthetic antibiotic on your skin and why something like hypoglyphorous acid is going to have so much better benefit for your skin and overall wound healing.
