pH balance
Skin's chemical neutrality
pH balance refers to the level of acidity or alkalinity in a substance, measured on a scale from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most alkaline), with 7 being neutral.
The term appears most often in discussions of body chemistry, skincare, and pool maintenance: This cleanser is formulated to maintain your skin's natural pH balance.
To restore pH balance is to return acidity levels to an optimal range.
