The Science Behind pH 5.5: Why It’s Essential for Baby Skin
When it comes to baby skincare, the pH balance of the skin is crucial for protection and overall well-being. Human skin has a thin protective layer called the acid mantle. This mantle maintains the skin’s natural pH, which is slightly acidic at around 5.5.
Compared to adult skin, baby skin is significantly thinner and more sensitive. Their acid mantle is underdeveloped during the first few months. Little Q Bathing Bar is thoughtfully formulated with a pH of 5.5, with ingredients like cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium cocoyl isethionate, and glycerin, providing gentle cleansing without stripping the skin’s protective oils.
Preserving the Acid Mantle (pH 5.5)
Supports natural defenses, retains moisture, minimizes irritation, and helps maintain a healthy skin microbiome.
