Depends on what cosmetic product you are trying to make. The PH of the skin is about 5.5, which is slightly acidic. Anything higher than 5.5 (5.6-14) is considered Alkaline and therefor not an acid. I would think about a 3 PH would be good for most facial cleansers and products.

The correct pH should be 5.5 to restore the needed elasticity and collage to the skin.
