Description

Sometimes you need a little acid to shift your perspective. Welcome to your pH reboot.

Our skin and mucous membranes are naturally a little acidic. Cleansing with alkaline products like soap can temporarily throw that balance off. Acid Base is formulated to gently restore the skin's natural acidic pH, helping support a healthy skin barrier and balanced microbiome.

A simple daily tonic for face, scalp, pits, and external skin.

Great for:
Balancing skin after cleansing
Supporting a healthy skin barrier
Microbiome-friendly skincare
Face, scalp, underarms, and skin
2 fl oz

Ritual

 For scalp, skin, armpits, or yoni: use a few drops to cover the ecosystem that needs adjusting. Apply at least twice a day, after cleansing, for optimal results. For scalp application, it won’t mess with your other hair styling products.

Ways to Use Acid Base: As a pH-balancing toner for face and scalp
To support odor-prone areas like armpits without baking soda
After cleansing to rebalance skin affected by alkaline soaps
For sensitive or easily irritated skin that reacts to harsh products

Shelf Life

Lasts 6 months upon opening. Store in a cool, dry place. Our formulas are organic, akin to freshly made skin food. We skip the toxins and synthetic preservatives that keep conventional products hanging around forever.

Multi-Use

Use on scalp and hair for rejuvenating!

Packaging is an Ingredient
Amber Glass Bottle
With Foam-lined Aluminum Lid
Once empty: Clean bottle, separate lid, remove foam liner (check with your local recycling center if they accept foam recyclables). Once confirmed, place all components in the recycling bin or take them to your local recycling facility.

Glass Dropper Top
Once used: Gently (so the glass doesn't break) wiggle the glass piece apart from the lid. It should pop out & separate cleanly. This part is 100% glass so it can be recycled wherever you recycle glass. The plastic piece can be sent back to us once you have collected a few to safely and responsibly recycle with Terracycle.
