What pH Value One Should Look For While Choosing a Baby Care Product?

When a baby is born the skin pH is 7 unlike adult's healthy skin which has a pH of 5.5. Moreover, the baby’s skin is 20% thinner and very delicate hence needs specialized care. Using alkaline baby skin and hair care products with a pH >7 even if they are natural can damage the protective barrier, leading to skin dryness and roughness and might lead to increase in skin infections.Tell us what do you think about using pH 5.5 products for your baby's healthy skin.Gratification - 3 Lucky Winners to get a SebaMed Gift Hamper worth Rs. 800

its really important to look at the product information before but to check the pH balance

In my opinion PH value should be in between 5 & 5.5. Iam using products of ' Himalaya ' for my baby Aaroh since his birth. I think it well nourishes baby's skin and contributes better for maintaining it as fresh, clear and healthy..

I'm using BABYHUG products for my baby. it soothens his skin maintained skin moisture. the pH value of the products is the reason for the same. and there's no itching or irritation for the baby's soft skin
