Why should this mean anything to you?

Because the health of the body—and skin—is directly linked to maintaining
the right balance between acidity and alkalinity.
Inner balance: the Who What and Why
What is the skin made of?
The skin is one of the most complicated immune
organs of the body, comprising about 15% of the body weight.

The total skin surface of an adult ranges
from 12 to 20 square feet. In terms of
chemical composition, the skin is about
70% water, 25% protein and 2% essential lipids for SC health.

The remainder includes trace minerals,
nucleic acids, glycosaminoglycans,
proteoglycans and numerous other chemicals.
The skin consists of three
main layers: epidermis, dermis and
subcaneous tissue.

As the most externally exposed organ in the
human body, the skin provides mechanical
protection and a controlled permeable barrier
to the external environment to maintain
internal homeostasis.

The layered construction of the skin represents
a composite material in
which the components possess specialized
functionalities to accommodate a variety of
conditions from mechanical stresses to variable
ambient moisture and to resist the presence of
toxic chemicals, pathogens, and radiation.

is similar to an aqueous solution.
