Description
Rafaela Moura de Oliveira and co-authors measured the acidity of children's soaps in a 2025 study from Brazil. Skin has a mild natural acidity, and soaps far from that level can harm a child's skin barrier. The team wanted to find which products sold for children or sensitive skin sit closest to that natural level.
They gathered nearly one hundred products from shops in a Brazilian capital city, mixing bar soaps and liquid soaps. Each was diluted and its acidity measured with care. They also listed the most common cleaning agents in the products. Parents and skin doctors get hard numbers to guide soap choice, rather than claims printed on labels alone.
