“I love this foaming cleanser because it feels so invigorating and leaves my skin super clean and energized.” – Miranda
We’ve asked the science mind behind our formula’s, Natalie Hwang, on what makes our pH friendly—and why. Read on as she has lovingly explained in detail.
This invigorating cleanser is suited to all skin types, and powered by certified organic Turmeric, Noni, Aloe Vera, and naturally derived sugar isomers.
It also contains an uplifting aroma blend of essential oils infused with powerful crystal essences.
Turmeric
This revered ingredient contains phytonutrients including flavonoids that have potent antioxidants to refresh your skin for a youthful-looking, luminescent complexion. It also helps to soothe the skin being anti-inflammatory by nature.
Noni Fruit
A powerful superfood rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals known to improve skin health and replenish skin’s texture and natural radiance. It’s also Miranda’s glow-to ingredient!
Aloe Vera Juice
The high-water content of aloe vera provides hydration and helps to bind moisture to the skin while the essential amino acids and minerals offer soothing and calming qualities.
Saccharude Isomerat
A naturally-derived sugar isomer that is a carbohydrate complex—similar to complexes found in skin—that create an essential moisture barrier. It helps by binding to the skin’s natural moisture and providing instant hydration after rinsing off.
Aromatherapy
A heavenly blend of Peppermint, Palo Santo and Rosemary essential oils uplift and invigorate your mind and skin.
Crystals
This cleanser is energized with Citrine; a crystal known to promote confidence and success. It’s also energized with Rose Quartz, a crystal believed to carry a soothing energy to encourage love and acceptance of ourselves and others.
What Is A pH Friendly Cleanser
KORA: What Is The pH – And What Is Skin-Friendly pH?
Natalie: pH is a scale used to measure of how acidic or basic of an aqueous solution is.
The range goes from 0-14, with pH 7 being neutral, pH less than 7 as acidic, and pH greater than 7 as basic.
The outer layer of normal skin (also known as stratum corneum) has physiological pH around 4.1—5.81 on average below 52, suggesting skin’s natural pH is more on the acidic side.
When the product’s pH falls within this range, it is generally defined as skin-friendly pH.
KORA: Why Is This Important?
Natalie: Maintaining skin-friendly pH is important because pH plays an important physiological role, influencing skin barrier function, lipid synthesis, skin microbiota that can lead to skin irritation, dryness, and inflammation.1
KORA: What Benefits Does This Have For My Complexion?
Natalie: Topical products with skin-friendly pH are known to help minimize the disruption of skin barrier and reduce skin discomfort.
There are many cleansers made in a high pH solution that can aggravate dryness and irritation.
Studies have suggested that cleansers formulated with mild surfactants in a more acidic pH solution that is close to skin’s natural pH level, potentially is less damaging to the skin. 4
