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.

No. This product does not hold The Seal of Approval by the National Eczema Association.

We formulate without ingredients on the EU's prohibited substances list (Regulation No.1223/2009, Annex II). This formula is Dermatologist-Tested and Hypoallergenic. If you have any specific concerns, we recommend consulting your doctor prior to use.

Answer

    Please never stop making this!!

    This is the reason I’m still shopping with Necessaire - I love this product so much, and I’ve never seen anything like it. Leaves your skin super soft, unbelievably so, but not overly scrubby or irritating on sensitive skin. It also has some cleansing ability as well, you can see it foam slightly while you’re using it.

    My only request - release it in all your scents please!

    Great product!

    This is the first body exfoliator I've tried that actually does lighten sun spots. Not as much as I'd like but if I had time sit longer maybe it would work better.

    Love this exfoliant!

    I have been obsessed with this brand for a long time. I love this exfoliator and the scent. I just really wish they'd bring back the fragrance free one! I can't find one that I like as much as this one. I hope that they bring it back and maybe they are and I just don't know. It would be nice in the other scents too.
