Cosmetic Chemistry Basic Science Background - pH

Perry44 February 11, 2012

Some of the followers of this website do not have degrees in chemistry. In truth, you don’t have to know chemistry to formulate products. However, it is extremely helpful!

So, we’re going to occasionally post lessons on the most important background chemistry topics that will help you in cosmetic formulating.

Here is a good lesson on pH. The lesson isn’t cosmetic science focused and in the future we are going to produce one that is. But this will be helpful if you never had pH explained to you. It will also be helpful if you’ve been away from basic chemistry and need a refresher.
