PH balancing skincare is the key to your skin looking and feeling better. When your pH is out of whack your skin pays the price.This can occur often if you are using products that aren’t pH balanced. However, like with any skin condition, it’s important to first understand why your skin behaves the way it does, before you can fix it.
Which handcrafted soap can balance your skin’s pH levels?
Most cold-processed, handmade soap has a pH in the range of 9-10. The misconceptions come into play because raw goat milk has a pH in the 6 range, whereas the pH of water is 7.
What is pH? Why Milk’s soaps is closer to our skins pH.
pH is a measurement of how acid or alkaline a solution is. Human skin produces a barrier on the skin’s surface known as the acid mantle.
Goat’s milk soap contains caprylic acid which makes the product a low pH level because it is an alkaline product. This brings the pH closer to human skin and prevents dryness while allowing nutrients to enter the skin.
As the name suggests, this barrier is slightly acidic, and is designed to keep out bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants which can penetrate and harm the skin. The skin’s acid mantle has a pH normally in the range of 5-6. Because of this slight acidity, one of the best ways to cleanse the skin is with Goat’s Milk Soap , Buttermilk and Coconut Milk Soap.
Most soap has a pH in the range of 9-10. Goat milk actually ‘feeds’ the skin and permeates through the cell walls delivering calcium similar to patches applied to the skin. The pH of goat’s milk is closer to skin’s own natural pH which reduces the surface tension of skin, allowing it to absorb the moisturising effects of goat milk .
For most people, improvements in ‘skin feel’ are noticeable after a couple of days of using Our Milk Soap, depending on how much damage the skin must repair first.
