SOAP AND THE ACID MANTLE
Have you ever noticed how dry your skin can feel after washing your hands? If so, you may be using soap with the wrong pH. Most over-the-counter soaps have a pH around 9 or 10, which is very high and similar to bleach or household cleaners. Water, a neutral substance, has a pH of 7. When the pH of soap is too high, it damages the protective layer on your skin called the acid mantle, which is a very fine film that maintains its own slightly acidic 5.5 pH level. This surface layer is created by the body's own natiral acidic secretions. It protects the skin from bacteria, infection, allergic reactions, and dehydration by acting as a barrier to these elements. When this protective barrier is neutralized by harsh soap or other skin products with a high pH, your skin is left vulnerable for up to 14 hours while the body regenerates this protection again! Therefore, it is important to use soaps and other body care products that are pH balanced to be as close to neutral as possible, such as our Garden Patch Shampoo which is about 7.5 pH. Using soaps and body care products that are pH balanced will keep the acid mantle intact and leave your skin soft, healthy, and protected.
