Why Stabilizers Matter

Stabilizers are the behind-the-scenes heroes of skincare, ensuring products remain **effective, safe, and long-lasting**. This category includes antioxidants, pH stabilizers, and preservatives, each serving a unique role in maintaining the integrity of formulations.

Key Stabilizers and Their Roles

Category Example Function Why It’s Important
Antioxidants Vitamin E, Green Tea Extract Prevents oxidation, extends product shelf life Protects active ingredients from degrading and supports skin health
pH Stabilizers Citric Acid, Lactic Acid Balances pH levels in formulations Ensures the product remains skin-friendly and effective
Preservatives Optiphen Plus, Leucidal Liquid Prevents microbial growth Keeps products safe and free from harmful bacteria and mold

How pH Impacts Skincare

Maintaining the right pH balance is **crucial for skin health**. The skin’s natural barrier, also known as the **acid mantle**, thrives at a pH of around 4.5 to 5.5. Skincare products that are too alkaline or too acidic can **disrupt this balance**, leading to irritation, dryness, or breakouts.

Did You Know?

Vitamin E is not just a powerful antioxidant for the skin—it also helps **stabilize oils in formulations**, preventing them from going rancid and extending their usability!
