Lab Skills: Equipment tutorial: Our Favorite pH Meter

Measuring and adjusting pH is one of the most essential skills to master as a formulator, ensuring your products are safe, stable, and effective.

Your pH meter will quickly become your most trusted piece of equipment, so it is crucial to choose the right one.

In this hands-on equipment tutorial, we’ll introduce you to our all-time favorite: the Hanna Halo 2 pH meter for cosmetic creams. After testing countless models, this is our all-time favorite—and now we’re sharing exactly why. You’ll learn how to use it with confidence, take care of it so it lasts for many years, and get the most accurate results every time.

Reasons we love the Hanna Halo 2 Cosmetic Creams pH meter:

• It is easy to use, accurate, reliable and reasonably priced.
• It is specifically designed for cosmetic creams and other viscous substances, meaning it handles thicker textures better than standard pH meters.
• It can also be used for water-thin formulations, making this one pH meter suitable for all types of products, including creams, lotions, gels, shampoos, and toners.
• It can be used independently or in conjunction with a smartphone app. You can view, log, and export data wirelessly, which is excellent for tracking formulations, making comparisons, and recording test results efficiently.
• It supports automatic calibration, making it user-friendly and accurate.
