pH balanced

When a skincare product is described as “pH balanced,” it means that its pH level is carefully formulated to be close to that of healthy skin - typically slightly acidic, around pH 4.5 to 5.0.

This is important because your skin’s natural acidity helps maintain its protective barrier, keeping moisture in and harmful bacteria out.

Using products that are pH balanced helps support your skin’s natural function and can reduce the risk of irritation or dryness.
