Universal pH Test Strips are premium laboratory and diagnostic grade strips used to check the acidity or alkalinity of liquids across the full pH scale. They are designed for quick, practical testing and provide a pH reading in about 30 seconds. This is a testing and measurement product rather than a formulation ingredient, making it useful in DIY, workshop and professional preparation spaces.

♡ Why we love it: These pH strips make routine pH checking simple, fast and accessible. They are especially useful when a formula or liquid needs a quick practical check without specialised equipment.

  • Reuse after the strip has already been wetted
  • Testing products that cannot be safely sampled as a liquid
  • Replacing full laboratory analysis where precise results are required
  • As a Liquid pH Test: Dip a strip into the liquid sample and compare the colour result after about 30 seconds.
  • As a Formula Check: Use during formulation to help confirm whether a liquid sits in the intended pH range.
  • Reading Tip: Follow the box instructions when comparing colour changes for more consistent reading.
  • Sampling Tip: Test a small sample rather than dipping into the full batch where contamination is a concern.
  • Accuracy Tip: Use a calibrated pH meter when exact precision is required.
  • Use with liquids only
  • Keep the strips dry before use
  • Avoid contaminating unused strips with wet hands or tools
  • Do not reuse strips after testing
  • Keep out of reach of children
  • Use suitable protection when testing hazardous or strongly acidic or alkaline liquids

Q: Can these strips test any liquid?
A: They are intended for liquid testing across the pH range, provided the liquid is suitable for dip-style strip testing.

Q: Do the strips come with instructions?

Ph is so important. I am having fun learning. Made a beautiful pink shampoo today because I understood how Ph influences colour.

They work so well!

I've always done the bicarb and vinegar test to check the ph levels of my products. But now with these strips, it's so much easier and definitely more accurate. They work so well!

PH test strips

I formulated a new face cream and wanted to balance the PH, but the test strips did not react, even when I put it in vinegar. I100g of cream that I could not send out on the order I made it for.

Hi Marelie,
Sometimes cream is too thick for a pH test strip to react to. You may need to mix the cream with a little neutral water and then take a reading.
