i'd go for universal indicator, bromothymol blue and methyl red

i mean, they have the degrees of acidity (specific color changes)

they have wider ranges of color changes which will lead to the strength of acid

you will know the degree of acidity of the cosmetics

in fact, bromothymol blue is used to detect the slightest level of acid or base in a substance

universal indicator has the pH charts; the range is big so that you can measure the level of acidity effectively

methyl red is sensitive too as the other two mentioned earlier

the other way that's not included in your choices is the pH meter

unlike litmus papers which just have 2 results; either red or blue

phenolphthalein only colorless, pale pink

you won't know the degree of acidity

hope that helps
