Since I’m still high on my new job, I’ll let you peek on one of the test and machine I am using.
Tada! The one on the center is a pH Meter, and that goes to show it measures the pH of a solution.
What do you know about pH?
pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Or the measure of hydrogen ions (H+). The pH scale is from 0 to 14 with 0 as most acidic and 14 as most basic. Of course 7 is the median with pure water as the best example.
I’m sure you don’t care about those things, but I am to cite a more common example. We are aware of the many genitalia products in the market all claiming to be the best because it is either pH 4 or 5 and so on. They are correct, pH balance is a fundamental component of vaginal health (to read more visit sweetspotlab.com). We have to maintain the natural pH of 4 to 5 (generally acidic), and using soap with pH of 8 to 10 (generally basic) would disrupt the balance.
But hey nowadays, lower pH soaps are available so just check out the labels.
Science is great huh? Everything has an explanation. That's why I love it!
