🎀 What Is pH 5.5 And Its Importance ??? ~ Introducing Sebamed Baby Skincare Range With pH 5.5 🎀

When the little bundle of joy come to our life , we become very much concern about his/her skin as they have the most delicate skin ever ... It is totally wrong to apply adult's skincare products on baby's skin as their skin is totally different from us... Baby's skin is three times thinner than adult's skin which makes it more delicate and sensitive... In New born babies the out layer of skin (i.e. acid mantle ) is not properly developed (it takes around three months to develop properly) hence there is chances of moisture loss, bacterial infections, etc. Melanin which is responsible for skin colour is also not developed.. In New born's the sebum or oil production is zero... hence baby's skin needs extra moisturization and proper care...

What is pH 5.5 and its importance for our skin -

Healthy skin has a protective barrier known as acid mantle which protects our skin from infections, allergies, etc... That acid mantle is slightly acidic in nature i.e. has pH 5.5 .

Break down in the skin's barrier function leads to dry, rough, sensitive, acne prone skin. Hence due to cracked outer layer of skin moisture lost happens which invites bacterial infection, allergies, etc... So it is very important to maintain pH 5.5 of skin...

Why pH 5.5 is necessary for baby's skin from the Day1 -

In new born babies the outer protective layer is normally sterile on pH 7 and it takes approx 3months for the formation of acid mantle.. Hence their outer skin layer is not able to protect skin from infections or allergies... Even after the formation of acid mantle their skin has not become pH 5.5 for few more months which results dryness on baby's skin... So it is important to apply a moisturiser with pH 5.5 on their skin to make the acid mantle formation process faster...
