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.

    Olibanum is Luxury In a Bottle

    This body wash and scent is top tier. I love how it smells on it's own and when mixed with my body. Not too strong, not too faint. Not to feminine or masculine. Not floral, fruity, or woodsy. It's in a category of it's own that I can't quite describe - maybe neutral with flair? Either way, I don't get sick of it, have headaches, or worry it will be too much for people around me. I loved it so much, I purchased the perfume and body lotion to match. I've received lots of compliments so far as well. As for purpose, it cleans well and doesn't bother my hand eczema. Overall, 10 out of 10! Thank you Necessaire! <3

    Love this Body Wash

    It smells good, lathers really well, you don't need a ton of it, and it doesn't seem to dry out my skin even during a New England winter. It's just really good body wash.
