Natasha,

I would assume that the " citrus " is what made the pH more acidic.

What did you use? FO? EO? Fresh Lemon? That might help us to

understand what happened with that...

3. PH 4.35 WHAT ABOUT THE PH?

Since this is a body scrub and not a lotion or cream the pH can be

acidic, since the consumer is going to use the scrub and then rinse

with water afterwards [rinse off product]

A lotion or cream should not be lower than pH 6 since it is a leave

on product.

Hi, I've never heard of a Ph balance in lotions or creams, I tried doing a

search to get more information, but all I seem to get is pool sites, and adverts

promoting balancing of ph levels in the bodies skin.

Is there somewhere else that you know of , where I can get more info on this?

many thanks..

Carol
