This comes in a little hard case and includes 3 pH buffer solutions (4.00, 6.86, 9.18)
Specifications:
- Range Measurement: 0.00 - 14.00 pH
- Resolution: 0.01 pH
- Accuracy: +/- 0.1 pH
- Operating Temperature: 0 - 60 degrees Celsius
- Calibration: Automatic calibration supports 1 point or 2 point calibration
- Power Supply: 3V (Button Battery)
- Size: 149x25.5x15mm
- Weight: 45g
How to use:
- Remove the protective cap and protective film on the screen
- First rinse the electrode with purified water, and blot it with a paper towel to remove excess water
- Turn the meter on by pressing the "ON/OFF" key
- Immerse the pH meter electrode in the solution to be tested (do not exceed the immersion line)
Why test pH?
pH (stands for potential hydrogen) is a measure of how acidic or alkaline a substance is. Healthy skin has a pH of around 5, which means it's slightly acidic. This is important because our skin acts as a barrier and protects agains pollutants and helps prevent bacteria from multiplying. When the pH of our skin is out of balance, it can create the environment that breeds bacteria, acne and candida infections.
Ideally you want the pH of skincare to be between 4 and 5.5 and no greater than 6.
How to adjust pH
When testing water-based formulations like sprays, mists and body wash, you cna place the probe directly into a sample of the product. However, when testing a very thick product like a lotion or cream, measure out a tiny amount of cream and mix with distilled water to create a little runny mixture that you can dip the pH meter in. Use ratio 1:10. (1 = cream 10 = water)
To lower the pH, create a citric acid solution with 50% citric acid and 50% distilled water. Put a couple of drops of this solution in your cream. Test the pH again.
To increase the pH, create a bicarbonate of soda solution with 50% bicarb and 50% distilled water. Put a couple of drops of this solution in your cream. Test the pH again.
