What pH tells you
pH is a measure of how acidic a water based system is, on a scale from 0 to 14. Seven is neutral, lower is acidic, higher is alkaline. It can only be measured where there is water, which is why an anhydrous oil and an anhydrous balm have no meaningful pH.
Conditioners are normally formulated at a lower pH than shampoos, which the table shows: the IHLA shampoo is 5.0 to 5.5 and the LHRIR conditioner is 4.0 to 4.5.
Period after opening
A period after opening is stated for two products: AMAAN at 12 months on the manufacturer specification, and TAFUKT at 12 months on the current packaging.
Where the data comes from
- pH, colour, appearance and relative density: the manufacturer technical specifications, one per formula.
- Argan oil: the safety data sheet issued 1 January 2025, which records pH as not applicable, plus the certificate of analysis for appearance and physical state. Detail is on the argan oil specification page.
- SANOUJ: the supplier specification, which records pH as neutral with no numeric value, so we publish no number.
- AMAAN Duo and AMAAN Trio: packs of the AMAAN cleanser, so they inherit its values.
Questions and answers
Which AZOURANE product has the lowest pH?
The LHRIR hair conditioner, at 4.0 to 4.5. It is the only product in the range with a pH below 5.
What is the pH of the AMAAN facial cleanser?
5.0 to 5.5, on the manufacturer specification. The same value applies to AMAAN Duo and AMAAN Trio, which are packs of the same cleanser.
What is the pH of the TIFAWT face mask?
5.5 to 6.0, on the manufacturer specification. It is the highest value in the range.
Why do argan oil and SANOUJ have no pH value?
Both are anhydrous oils, and pH can only be measured in a system that contains water. The safety data sheet for the argan oil records pH as not applicable, and the SANOUJ specification records neutral with no numeric value.
What does not determined mean in the table?
It means the manufacturer did not measure that value and did not state it on the specification. It applies to pH for the ANNAY serum and the AZGGAGH balm, and to relative density for six products.
Are these single batch results?
No, they are the formula specification. A specification is the range the formula is held to in every production run, so it applies to every unit of that formula.
Where can I see the full ingredient list?
The full INCI list for every product is on the Ingredients and allergens page. Declared allergens product by product are on the Allergens page.
