Skin problems may become more severe when the skin becomes more alkaline. "Mild" soaps often damage skin. They are often alkaline (pH 9.5-11), and remove the natural acid protection as well as extracting protective lipids (fats) from the skin. In addition, such soaps often have high levels of synthetic detergents, which both strip away the mantle and loosen the protective keratin proteins. Irritated skin tends to have a more alkaline pH, and washing with the wrong soap can increase this alkaline state and make the skin even more vulnerable to irritation and infection.
Earthwash is the perfect "non-soap" solution to clean, healthy skin and coat.

It is used extensively in infant formula soaps and rarely causes irritation.)
