The pH value of wet wipes is determined by the wipes liquid.


The pH value of adult skin is stable at around 5.5, which is weakly acidic. In this state, the skin is in the best state whether it is to resist external erosion or absorb nutrients. Therefore, when choosing wet wipes, try not to choose wet wipes with strong alkalinity. For babies, the skin pH is a state that changes continuously until it stabilizes.

Newborn babies (0-6 months): The skin pH value is about 6.5, which is neutral. Under the influence of the mother, there is protection from vernix caseosa, which shows a situation of more oil and less water, but the skin is extremely thin and has no protective barrier, which is easy to induce problems in special areas, such as diaper area, neck, armpits, thigh roots, etc., which are prone to diaper eczema and prickly heat. When choosing wet wipes, keep the pH value of clean wet wipes at around 6.5 to reduce the damage of wet wipes to the baby's skin.


After the baby is born (6-18 months): The skin pH value begins to decrease to about 6.0. The baby's sebaceous gland secretion begins to decline rapidly, and the amount of sebum gradually decreases, which can easily lead to dryness and fragility. The problems in special areas tend to weaken, but still exist, especially prickly heat.

The baby gradually grows up (after 18 months): the skin is close to the normal pH value of 5.5, showing weak acidity, close to the normal pH value of the skin. The baby's sebaceous glands and sweat glands tend to mature. The baby's active nature also begins to show, and frequent outdoor activities also greatly increase the probability of contact with germs. In addition to the essential moisturizing work, mothers also need proper cleaning and isolation to help the baby's skin enhance its self-protection ability.
