Ph Balanced Soap

pH Balanced Soap

You want balance in all things in life, and that includes your skin. On average, skin sits at a 4.7-5.5 on a pH scale of 0 to 14, and a pH balanced soap aims to keep your skin sitting below a 5. Because you can have oily, sensitive, dry, normal, or combination skin anywhere on your body, a good pH balanced soap will help neutralize your skin's excess acid while hydrating when and where needed.

Can Soap Throw Off Your pH Balance?

Soaps that are too basic, meaning they have a high pH, can remove your skin's natural oils and mess up your pH balance, leaving often-washed areas like your hands feeling dry and raw. This drives home the need for a properly pH balanced soap when your hands become dry and flaky and rough to the touch.

How Do pH Balanced Soaps Work?

Soaps can be wonderfully pH balanced and still offer an excellent clean. The slightly alkaline formula of soaps is what cuts through grease and dirt, but it is not necessary to be overly acidic to achieve your desired sparkling results.
