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

babies skin can take time to develop up to 3or more months. so too high or too low ph leads to skin issues like dryness, rashes etc...... so ph is important to manage for babies skin

i think pH 5.5 product won't suit for baby's skin . it may harden the baby skin or leads to some allergic reaction. so we need to think before use any pH5.5 on baby skins.

Babies are born with a skin pH value of 7. The acid mantle which protects the baby's delicate skin takes upto 3 months to develop, the pH of the skin then becomes 5.5. pH neutral products are not a friend of your baby's skin. Any pH value other than 5.5 can severely damage sensitive skin. Skin with a higher pH has been related to increased rates of bad bacteria, which can cause infection and disease and longer healing time for skin ailments.
