Properties of Hydronium in Skincare Products

• Hydronium is used to alter the acidity of skincare products, in order for them to have a similar PH to the skin, which is between 4.6 and 5.6.
• A higher concentration of hydronium makes a skincare product more acidic while a lower concentration makes it more alkaline.
• Therefore, the properties of a skincare product can be predicted given its hydronium levels.  
• Concentration is usually measured in moles per liter, also known as molarity (M).
• In order for skincare products to avoid disrupting the skin's natural acidic layer, they need to have a PH as close as possible to the skin's PH.
• A one-unit drop in PH-value is equivalent to a ten-fold increase in hydronium levels.
• Hydronium, or H3O+, is the ion that gives acids their properties such as sour taste and corrosiveness.

Efficiency of Hydronium-Based Skincare Treatments

• Hydronium is also used in skincare products such as peels to treat aging and skin conditions without the downtime associated with traditional peels.

• It can also be used as a skin sanitizing and wound healing solution.
