  Soap Based Intimate Wash

  Posted by Sheng on June 15, 2016 at 9:39 am

  Hello,

  we plan to develop a soap based intimate wash but I have read a lot that a “soap based”products for an intimate wash is not ok because it may cause irritation due to the high pH. any thoughts on this?
  thanks.

  Hi Sheng,

  Soap-based products indeed have high pH, most at about 9 and above. This high pH is necessary to make the formula produce bubbles. In my country, intimate washes are mostly SLES or non-SLES based, but never soap-based since intimate areas, especially for women, are in the acidic region.
