Universal Indicator Paper | pH Testing Strips for Skincare Science
Precision pH Analysis for Safe, Skin-Friendly Formulations
Key Benefits 🧪
-
pH Balance Assurance: Test homemade or commercial skincare products (toners, cleansers, exfoliants) to ensure they align with skin’s natural pH (4.5–5.5).
-
Acid Mantle Protection: Prevent irritation by verifying formulations aren’t too alkaline (drying) or acidic (harsh).
-
DIY Formulation Aid: Essential for creating effective AHAs/BHAs, vitamin C serums, or soap-free cleansers with precise pH levels.
-
Instant Results: Dip-and-read technology delivers color-coded pH results in seconds.
-
Cost-Effective & Portable: Compact strips replace bulky meters for on-the-go or home-based skincare labs.
How to Use 💧
-
Prep: Ensure product is liquid-based or diluted (for creams, mix a pea-sized amount with distilled water).
-
Test: Dip a strip into the product for 1–2 seconds.
-
Read: Match the color change to the included pH chart (range: 1–14).
-
Adjust: Use citric acid (lower pH) or baking soda (raise pH) to tweak formulations as needed.
Features & Quality 🌱
-
Broad Range: Measures pH 1–14 with 0.5–1.0 increments for detailed analysis.
-
Non-Toxic: Safe for use with cosmetic ingredients (no reactive chemicals).
-
Color Chart Included: Laminated guide resists spills and fading.
-
100 Strips per Pack: Durable, tear-resistant paper for repeated testing.
Precautions ⚠️
-
Avoid Direct Skin Contact: Use gloves; strips are for product testing, not skin application.
-
Not for Oils/Fats: Works best with water-based products (emulsify oils first).
-
Storage: Keep in a sealed, dry container to prevent moisture damage.
-
Accuracy Limits: For precise formulation (e.g., actives), pair with a digital pH meter.
