Your skin is your body’s protective covering and an important defense against bacteria and environmental pollutants. It’s fortified by the acid mantle, which is a combination of perspiration secreted from the sudoriferous gland and oil secreted from the sebaceous gland. The acid mantle is only slightly acidic (with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5) and acts as a protective barrier that also regulates the skin’s oil and water balance.Many companies use high-alkaline products of pH 8 and up, which strip the skin of this protective barrier. This leaves the skin prone to disorders, including dry skin, infections, and blemishes. In contrast, all our skin care products are pH balanced to work harmoniously with the acid mantle. This helps keep your skin young, firm, and vibrant—for only when the skin is permitted to function at its best can it look truly beautiful.
