An Experimental Study on the Effectiveness of Cleaning and Cosmetic Products Using pH Sensors

Abstract

This study delves into the innovative use of pH sensors to measure the residue left by cleaning and cosmetic products on surfaces and the resultant changes in surface pH values. Sensor technologies are a novel and critical tool in this context. The solubility of residues from cleaning and cosmetic products and the effectiveness of these products are directly related to pH values. This study underscores the increasing importance of pH sensors in the formulation development, efficacy evaluation, and user safety of cleaning and cosmetic products.
