a very nice explanation of what PH represents, but what I'm curious about is when a manufacturer says they are PH neutral-what does that mean?
PH neutral for skin products probably means about a ph of 5.5 since the skin ph is about 5.5
PH of pure water is 7.0, city water can be about 7.5, so...
but neutral to what? neutral to skin is 5.5 or acidic, neutral to wax may or may not be 7 or the ph of water. If water is neutral at 7 than my understanding is that it will not change the ph of the chemical because it is "neutral". So if the product ph is 8 you would need something less than 7...

From what I can gather, ph neutral or balanced for skin products would be acidic and around 5.5 because that is the PH of skin. So, what does that mean for marketing terms with the detail industry. I used to think...
