| Abstract | Antecedentes: pocos estudios han analizado el pH de los champus. Si bien no esta claro cual es el pH ideal, segun la bibliografia deberia acercarse a 5,5. Objetivos: analizar el pH de los champus de marcas internacionales y nacionales comercializados en la Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires. Evaluar distintos grupos: profesional, comercial, medico/dermatologico, anticaspa y para ninos. Metodos: medicion del pH de 104 champus comercializados en la Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires mediante tiras de papel reactivas. Resultados: 41% de los champus evaluados tenian un pH menor de 5,5; 92% de los productos profesionales evidenciaron un pH menor de 5,5. Los productos comerciales, medicos y anticaspa mostraron un perfil muy similar, con 68%, 67% y 67% espectivamente menor de 5,5. El grupo de productos infantiles tuvo un pH menor que el resto de los grupos (excepto el profesional) a pesar de su caracteristica de “sin lagrimas”; el 54% mostro un pH mayor de 5,5. Conclusiones: aunque no hay consenso sobre cual es el pH ideal de un champu, sabemos que un pH alcalino se asocia a friccion, frizz, dano cuticular y quiebre. Es muy importante que, como dermatologos, conozcamos las principales caracteristicas de los productos capilares. Palabras clave: pH, champu. Dermatol. Argent. 2017, 23 (1):13-16 pH evaluation of shampoos sold in Buenos Aires City and brief review Abstract Background: few studies analyzed the shampoos pH.
