The baby skin is less acidic than the adult skin. The adult skin is neutral skin that can survive the attack of pathogens and bacteria because of its immunity. So, the adults can use different cleansing soaps that have varied pH. But when it comes to a baby’s skin, many problems may arise if the pH is less or more than an acceptable level of 5.5. The sensitive skin of babies needs extra attention when it needs the selection of baby products.

Products with a pH of 5.5 are considered to be more gentle and non-irritating to the baby's skin as they are in line with the natural pH of the skin. They can help prevent the skin from becoming too dry or too oily, which can lead to skin irritation or other skin problems.
