What's the PH of oils?
A few months ago I saw a post in a facebook group for a skincare oil made of coconut oil, rose hip oil and argan oil.
The person posting claimed this face oil has a perfect PH of 5.5
I thought that was weird...since oils don't have a PH.
I commented and said "oils don't contain a PH value"
And the minions quickly attacked.
So much so I questioned whether I was even correct. It was like a little gaslight attack where I felt lost and confused and was questioning myself...even though I knew the answer.
The truth is PH can only be measured in aqueous solutions (anything that contains water). There is no PH in oil.
Gotta love mom groups on Facebook! It's all good until you disagree, lol!
Makes me thankful for my wonderful Instagram family!
And chemistry.
I'm no chemist but I find it fascinating and love learning new things!
