neutral pH
Water's typical measurement
Neutral pH refers to a pH of 7, the midpoint on the scale measuring acidity and alkalinity.
Pure water has a neutral pH—neither acidic nor basic.
The term appears in chemistry, skincare, and pool maintenance: The shampoo is formulated with a neutral pH to avoid irritating the scalp.
Solutions below 7 are acidic; above 7, alkaline.
