pH is an important factor in skincare products as it reflects the natural acidity of our skin and microbiome. Understanding pH is central to understanding cosmetic science, and formulators cannot make safe, stable, and effective cosmetics without understanding a little about pH and how it relates to their product. Here are some details about pH Formula skincare products and their ingredients:
-
pH Formula Exfo Cleanser: This product contains Aqua, Acrylates Copolymer, Steareth-2, Sorbitol, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Papain, and other ingredients. It is designed to exfoliate and cleanse the skin.
-
pH Formula MD CR Active Recovery: This product contains Aqua, Glycerin, Lactobionic Acid, Steareth-2, Cyclopentasiloxane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, and other ingredients. It is designed to help with skin recovery.
-
pHformula Skin Resurfacing System: This system includes an impressive list of ingredients to help address pigmentation disorders, including 4-Butylresorcinol. It utilizes the known and clinically-proven effects of hydroxy acids such as mandelic, salicylic, and others.
-
pHformula Skin Care: This line of products contains a specialized blend of active and moisture-binding ingredients that intensively hydrate and enhance skin brightening to superior levels.
It is important to note that adjusting the formula pH can help achieve a product that is "pH balanced" or "skin kind". However, acknowledging the formula pH alone does not provide enough information for one to work out just how strong the product will feel and what it might be able to achieve on the skin.
