Cosmetics pH Meter, PCE-228P, PCE Instruments

The main purpose of cosmetics production is not only to make good-smelling products with good-sounding names and lists of beneficial ingredients, but to make them efficient so that these products really improve the condition of the skin or hair and in no way damage them. The pH measurement in cosmetics is a priority test that should be performed not only to ensure that the pH of the product matches the pH of the skin, but also to ensure good quality, suitable viscosity, color / odor and to ensure durability of the cosmetics. The use of a pH meter with a special glass electrode is one of the well-known methods of pH measurement in cosmetics. The pH meter ensures that you get reliable results when taking measurements in shampoo, liquid cleansing toners and foams, gels and many other substances (containing water).

pH meters used for cosmetics are often portable, very easy to use, light in weight and easy to handle. The glass electrode is perfect on the one hand because it is always easy to keep clean, but on the other hand a glass electrode requires careful handling because of its fragility. Modern electrodes receive special protection, such as "a coat" around them, which makes them very sturdy. The application of the pH electrode requires attention and careful adjustment. It is necessary to follow all rules regarding the application, cleaning and maintenance of this sensitive instrument. Although the pH tests are carried out on the additives or finished product of the shampoo, it is imperative to maintain the required ambient temperature, as their deviation can lead to erroneous measurements. The pH and maintenance of the efficacy of cosmetics is one of the reasons why such products should be stored at certain temperatures. Some of them should not be refrigerated or exposed to direct sunlight and excessively warm temperatures.
