Why Scalp pH Matters
Why Scalp pH Matters
Your scalp thrives in a slightly acidic environment.
Healthy skin typically rests within a pH range of approximately 4.5 to 5.5. This acidity supports barrier integrity, microbial balance, and proper oil regulation.
When products are too alkaline, the cuticle may lift excessively and the scalp barrier can become compromised. Over time, this may contribute to dryness, irritation, or excess oil production as the skin attempts to compensate.
pH is not a trend. It is foundational skin science.
What Happens When pH Swings
- Increased oil production
- Dryness or flaking
- Heightened sensitivity
- Difficulty maintaining consistent results
Maintaining an acidic balance helps prevent correction cycles.
All water-based formulas in this line are adjusted intentionally to support scalp comfort and stability.
Subtle Scientific Elevation
Dermatological research consistently supports maintaining the skin’s natural acid mantle to preserve barrier function and microbial balance.
pH balance is considered in every water-based formula.
