PhilGeis said:what product?
Any product like lotion or shampoo.
My point is that is there any microorganism that can increase or change the pH of a product?

Doubt much info - but product ingredients prob would be functional - sugars, amino acids, protein,

I think your question doesn’t have enough information to give an answer beyond…it depends. The ingredients that are in your formula matter.
The pH of your system is dependent on all the ingredients in there. If bacteria start breaking down a compound that is responsible for shifting the pH lower, then the pH of your system will likely increase. But if the bacteria break down something that increases the pH, then the system pH will decrease.
So it depends. What are they eating and how does that ingredient affect the system pH?

I got my answer. Thanks
