At MESCH, innovation is never static. Less than a year ago we brought EXOGLO to market, pioneering the use of topical MSC exosomes and liposomal encapsulation technology. But it was never meant to stagnate… unlike the major skincare and beauty conglomerates that refuse to update a commercially successful formulation for up to 7 years, we recognise that scientific progress moves faster than that and your skin deserves the very best technology… Would you use the same smartphone for 7 years? That’s exactly why we add new features to your skin care on a regular basis.
Our latest update overcomes a the difficult technical challenge of aligning EXOGLO’s pH with your skin’s natural microbiome and barrier chemistry. Read on to find out why this matters, and why mass produced luxury brands cannot do the same
Why pH 5.5 Matters
Your skin isn’t neutral. Its surface — known as the acid mantle — naturally sits between pH 4.5 and 5.5. This mild acidity keeps your microbiome thriving, your barrier enzymes active, and your skin calm and hydrated.
ExoGlo now mirrors this natural state, which adds several key benefits:
- Microbiome balance: Good bacteria like S. epidermidis flourish while disruptive strains like S. aureus struggle, helping reduce irritation and sensitivity.
- Barrier optimization: Enzymes responsible for ceramide formation (β-glucocerebrosidase and acid sphingomyelinase) work best in mildly acidic conditions, locking in hydration.
- Smarter cell turnover: Balanced pH supports healthy shedding — smoother texture, fewer rough patches, and less congestion.
- Formula stability: We engineered a robust buffering system to keep pH consistent from the first pump to the last drop.
Where Most Mass-Produced Skincare Falls Short
Most large-scale “luxury” skincare products sit between pH 6–7, or even slightly alkaline. But your skin doesn’t live at pH 7 — and it pays the price when your routine does.
When skin care is too alkaline:
- The acid mantle is stripped, leaving your barrier compromised.
- Good microbes weaken, while opportunistic bacteria multiply.
- Lipid production slows, leading to dryness and dullness.
- Turnover becomes uneven — and chronic disruption can cause milia, those tiny trapped keratin cysts that resist exfoliation.
But Why?
The reason large premium skincare brands rarely produce at pH 5.5 is because neutral formulas are easier to stabilize and ship globally across long shelf lives. It’s not about ignorance — it’s about scale, stability, and risk. Lower-pH formulations are difficult to maintain across global distribution networks.
1. Shelf life pressure. Big manufacturers hold stock for up to 36 months; pH drift is inevitable over time.
2. Ingredient system constraints. Preservatives, emulsifiers, and actives optimized for neutral environments often destabilize at lower acidity.
3. Batch variation. Producing tens of tons per run makes precise pH control operationally complex.
4. Risk aversion. A single recall from instability or irritation can cost millions, so “neutral” becomes the safe default.
Neutral pH works for warehouses, not for your biology!
By contrast, ExoGlo is formulated and produced in smaller, controlled batches — allowing us to push biological precision where mass luxury cannot.
Why You’ll Feel the Difference
With ExoGlo’s pH update, your skin will:
- Retain moisture more efficiently
- Feel calmer and less reactive
- Reduce congestion and risk of milia
- Support a healthy, diverse microbiome
This isn’t a revolution — it’s evolution.
ExoGlo has always led with efficacy. Now, it’s even more attuned to the science of your skin.
