Why Is Our Scalp Slightly Acidic?
pH, or "potential of hydrogen," measures how acidic or alkaline a solution is on a scale of 0 to 14. A pH of 0–6 is acidic, 7 is neutral, and 8–14 is alkaline.
Your scalp's natural pH falls between 4.5 and 5.5, making it slightly acidic. This delicate acidity is maintained by a protective layer called the acid mantle, which covers the skin and scalp. The acid mantle acts as a natural barrier, defending against bacteria, environmental damage, and maintaining a healthy scalp environment.
Histemo’s shampoo is designed to align with your scalp’s natural pH, featuring a slightly acidic formula with a pH range of 5.27–5.5.
This balance supports optimal scalp health by effectively cleansing while preserving your scalp’s protective barrier.
