Why the pH of your body wash makes all the difference for your skin

The skin's pH plays a key role in maintaining its balance and comfort. Discover how Du Littoral Shower Gels respect the skin's natural pH to gently cleanse without irritating the skin.

Skin pH Balance: Why Physiological pH Is Essential for Healthy Skin

The skin has a slightly acidic physiological pH, typically around 5.5. This pH plays a key role: it protects the skin from external aggressors, limits the growth of unwanted bacteria, and helps maintain the hydrolipidic film, a natural protective barrier.

Cleansers that are too harsh or have an unsuitable pH can disrupt this balance, leading to tightness, discomfort, dryness, or skin sensitivity.

With this in mind, we developed Littoral Shower Gels: body cleansers designed to effectively cleanse while respecting the skin’s natural balance.

Physiological pH Shower Gels: Gentle Daily Cleansing for All Skin Types

Thanks to their ultra-gentle, plant-based cleansing formula free of sulfate surfactants, these shower gels respect the skin’s physiological pH.

Their non-drying formula, enriched with 2% glycerin, helps maintain skin hydration day after day.

Result: clean, comfortable, and supple skin, without tightness, even with daily use.
