pH Regulators

pH regulators play a crucial role in cosmetic formulation by maintaining the acid-base balance of products. A balanced pH is essential for preserving the integrity of the skin and ensuring the effectiveness of treatments. pH regulators adjust cosmetic formulas to prevent them from being too acidic or too alkaline, which could cause irritations or reduce their performance.

To achieve this, formulators use pH regulators. Discover more information about this family of ingredients here.

FAQ about ph regulators

What is the ideal pH for skin care?

In order to respect the physiology of the skin and its natural acidity, cosmetic treatments are generally formulated at pH levels between 4.5 and 7, depending on their type and function.

The pH regulators used in cosmetics are primarily weak acids, such as citric acid, and bases, like sodium hydroxide.

What are the risks of using a product with a pH that is too low or too high?

A pH that is too acidic can cause skin irritations, while a pH that is too alkaline can damage the skin barrier and dry out the skin.

Do all cosmetic products contain pH regulators?

Yes, pH regulators are found in all cosmetics, regardless of their type.

How does a pH regulator work?

A pH regulator neutralises acids or bases in a formula to stabilise the pH at an optimal level for the skin.
