Your skin care routine – step by step
To help you get started with your facial products from Karmameju, I would love to share this simple skin care routine that can be used in the morning and evening with a few adjustments.
Do you have dry, sensitive or irritated skin? Or do you know the feeling of your skin feeling a size too small after showering? You are not alone.
The reason can be found in something as simple as your daily shower, hand wash, face cleanse and use of hand sanitizer. Water pushes your skin's pH level out of sync, making it susceptible for dryness, irritation and itchiness.
This innovative, instantly balancing pH solution promotes skin health by gently restoring its natural protective barrier, also known as the acid mantle. When your pH level is in balance, your skin is in balance.
HERO is your step 0: Use it as the first product after shower, hand wash, face cleanse and as needed throughout the day.
Daily use of HERO will effectively help prevent moisture loss, skin sensitivity, dryness and damage from environmental factors while strengthening the skin’s natural ability to renew and regenerate. HERO helps provide the best conditions for the skin’s healing process on the body, face and/or scalp.
One HERO fits all - for the whole family.
HERO has won several awards from the best critics in Denmark and Europe: Beautyspace, Danish Beauty Award, Dutch Beauty Award, Global Green Beauty Award and Beauty Shortlist - most of them awarding HERO as the best, most natural and most innovative skincare product.
Statements based on a questionnaire survey among women aged 25-60 with approx. 200 responses from August 2022 show that 88% say that HERO relieves dry skin, 88% say that HERO adds moisture to the skin, 75% use HERO one or more times a day and 95% of women with unproblematic skin say that HERO relieves skin dryness, while 89% of women with dry skin say that HERO relieves skin dryness.
Why is the skin's pH important?
Your skin’s pH level is essential for its well-being. When the pH is slightly acidic, around 5, your skin is in balance. But as soon as it gets in contact with water, detergents, sanitizers etc. the skin’s pH is affected in an alkaline direction. HERO brings the skin’s pH back at the ideal value around 5 and restores the acid mantle.

CAUTION Rinse with water in case of contact with eyes. Do not ingest. Skin test recommended. Store in a cool place away from sunlight.
pH and the skin
The optimal pH of the skin is one of the most important “active ingredients” we can ensure the skin gets. HERO pH solution 02 has the mildest, most simple list of ingredients. It is the combination of these ingredients – in the right amounts and the correct formulation – that stabilises the skin’s pH.
Ingredients: Aqua/water/eau, glycerin (vegetable), pentylene glycol (natural source), pectin, hydroxyacetophenone, citric acid. Ingredient list may change or vary. Please always refer to ingredient list on product packaging.

What is pH?
pH is a numeric value that is applied to measure the acidity of a hydrous solution, skincare products and on the surface of the skin. The pH scale measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is, and the scale ranges from 0 to 14; a pH of 7 is neutral, a pH of less than 7 is acidic and a pH higher than 7 is alkaline. Balanced skin thrives with a pH value of approximately 5, meaning that the skin pH is slightly acidic. Conversely, the inner body thrives at a neutral pH value of 7.
The pH-scale
Is your skin’s pH in balance or is it out of sync?
Why is the skin’s pH so significant?
The skin deserves the best conditions and the most significant starting point for achieving healthy skin is a stabilised pH value. The pH of the skin plays a crucial role in the skin’s condition and appearance. Changes in the pH value affect the enzyme activity and disrupt the natural cell renewal processes that are vital to the skin’s health.
The skin has a delicate protective layer on the surface; the acid mantle, which consists of sebum and sweat from the many microscopic pores in the skin. The acid mantle’s most important job is to protect the skin by maintaining an optimal balance of moisture, natural protective oils and the skin’s vital bacterial flora. At the same time, it has to protect from harmful exogenous bacteria, fungal infections, UV radiation and pollution. The acid mantle functions as an essential protective barrier and “a knight in shining armour” for the skin’s immune system.
