Answer

Why Is pH Level Mentioned On The Package?

During the formulation process we optimize the pH of the formula. We believe it directly impacts the safety and efficacy of the formula. The pH objective will vary based on product purpose. On the secondary packaging (carton) we provide a pH range. The reason pH range is indicated is that pH may vary during the manufacturing process and/or slightly change over time. Formulas that do not contain enough water will not have a pH listed.

    Best body wash ever made!!

    I have been using Necessaire products for several years. I grew up by the beach and have been a sun lover my whole life. At age 75 my once cute freckles have joined together to become ugly age spots. I have found that by using these power packed products my skin looks and feels better. I love all the wonderful scents, with Santal being my favorite.

    Ne'cessaire is indeed necessary for my shower !

    I've stocked up on The Body Wash so I never have to go without it in my daily shower. It's just perfect and leaves my skin feeling clean but not stripped in any way. I also use the body moisturizing lotion afterwards.

    Love them both!

    Favorite body wash

    I’ve tried using other body washes and even soap. I thought this was a bit expensive but after using so many other types of body washes I’m sticking with Necessaire. I love that it’s unscented because my skin reacts to fragrances at this point. And this is extremely moisturizing and I’m so glad they make it. Thank you!
