The pH level plays a crucial role in maintaining the natural balance of your intimate area — but do you actually know why? We’ve made it easy for you by gathering the key points here!
pH is a way of measuring how acidic or alkaline something is. Your body has different levels of acidity, and maintaining these plays an important role in overall bodily health. The intimate area is no exception, where the pH level should ideally be between 3.5 and 4.5.
Your intimate area is full of natural bacteria, such as lactic acid bacteria, which help protect this delicate zone. These bacteria only thrive in an environment with the correct pH level, and they disappear if an imbalance occurs. If the natural pH is disrupted, it can lead to an imbalance in the bacterial flora, which often results in uncomfortable symptoms such as itching, swelling, and odor.
That is why it is extremely important not to use regular soap or body wash in the intimate area, as this can disrupt the skin’s natural pH balance. All ALVA intimate care products are specifically developed for the intimate area, so you can safely use them without worrying about causing any imbalance.
