pH , that mysterious measurement we often hear in science, plays a crucial role in the health of our skin.
In the world of cosmetics, pH balance is not just a chemical concept, but a fundamental pillar for maintaining healthy and radiant skin .
At Såper, with our focus on organic and natural products, we offer a harmonious solution to balance your skin's pH, ensuring its well-being and beauty.
What is pH in the Human Body?
pH, or potential of hydrogen, is a scale that measures how acidic or alkaline something is.
In the human body, pH varies depending on the organ.
For example, blood pH remains in a narrow range of about 7.35 to 7.45, slightly alkaline.
The skin, on the other hand, has a slightly acidic pH, usually around 5.5.
This acidic environment is essential to protect the skin against bacteria and other pathogens .
An imbalance in the pH of the body, including the skin, can lead to various symptoms.
An overly acidic body , for example, can manifest problems such as fatigue, headaches , and on the skin , it can lead to conditions such as acne, eczema and a general feeling of sensitivity .
Maintaining normal pH values in the skin is essential for its barrier function. Skin with a balanced pH is better able to retain moisture and protect itself against environmental pollutants and microorganisms .
The term “alkaline” refers to a pH greater than 7, while “acidic” indicates a pH less than 7. Healthy skin tends to be slightly acidic, which helps maintain its barrier function and regulate bacterial flora .
Impact of an unbalanced pH on the Skin
An unbalanced pH in the skin, as we've seen briefly before, can lead to several problems. When the pH is too acidic or alkaline, it can cause dryness, irritation, and make the skin more susceptible to infections and dermatological diseases .
Additionally, an unbalanced pH can affect the effectiveness of the products we apply to our skin .
Såper Natural Cosmetics and the pH of the Skin
Såper is distinguished by its commitment to nature and skin health. Our products are meticulously formulated with natural and organic ingredients, selected not only for their dermatological benefits but also for their ability to maintain and respect the skin's natural pH balance.
Every Såper product is designed to work in synergy with your skin's natural pH. From gentle cleansers to serums and nourishing creams, all our products help maintain your skin's natural acidity, which is crucial for maintaining its protective barrier and healthy microbiome .
By using natural cosmetics, you reduce the risk of altering your skin's pH. Botanical ingredients, such as plant oils, butters, and essential oils , preserve the skin's integrity and promote its ability to self-regulate. This is vital to avoiding problems such as dryness , irritation, and acne breakouts, which are often a consequence of an unbalanced pH.
For example, our cleansers are formulated with unrefined and undeodorized vegetable oils, keeping all their properties intact, so in addition to cleaning, we are providing a large amount of active ingredients and nutrients to the skin, without altering its natural pH and ensuring that it remains healthy, hydrated and free of irritation.
Alkalizing the Body: Is it Necessary for the Skin?
Alkalizing the body has become a popular trend in health and wellness, centered on the idea that a more alkaline body can be healthier. However, it's crucial to understand that the human body naturally maintains its pH in strict balance, and that attempting to significantly alter this balance can be counterproductive .
When it comes to your skin, maintaining its slightly acidic state is essential for its health. Attempting to alkalize your skin can disrupt its natural barrier and make it more vulnerable to damage and irritation .
At Såper, we recognize the importance of respecting the skin's natural pH. Our products are designed to nourish and care for the skin without disrupting its natural balance and strengthening the hydrolipidic barrier, with ingredients such as calendula oil , shea butter, and almond oil, found in the body cream.
Såper's natural and organic cosmetics offer a harmonious and effective way to care for your skin, respecting its natural balance . By choosing Såper, you are opting for products that not only beautify your skin but also contribute to its long-term health by maintaining its acid-acid balance, essential for its protective function.
