Balance Moisturizing Wash cleanses and moisturizes with a combination of aloe vera, soothing botanicals, and lactic acid. It is pH-balanced to support the pH of the vulva using our Bio-Match® technology. Balance contains no parabens, petrochemicals, harsh soaps, fragrance, or toxic ingredients known to disrupt the vulva tissues. We do not recommend soaps for cleansing the vulva area as they can strip the delicate lining of the vulva biome. Read more about why we don’t recommend soaps. Balance is for external use only.

Once you’ve found a pH-balanced wash you like, what is the best way to clean the vagina? First, let’s clarify a key detail: a good intimate wash is actually designed to be used externally, on the vulva — not inside the vagina. What’s the difference? The vagina is the interior part of the female genitalia; it is self-cleaning, and there is no need to use any kind of soap or intimate wash there, even after sex or during your period. Use your natural intimate cleanser only on the vulva, which is the part that you can see from the outside, including the labia majora, labia minora, vestibule, and tip of the clitoris. So how to clean the vulva? Simple: Use an intimate wash once a day with your hand (not a washcloth), using cool or lukewarm water. This might also be a good time to wash the anus, as well as the perineum, which is between the anus and the vulva. Whenever you’re working in this area, always move front to back, starting with the vulva and moving back toward the anus, so that you don’t accidentally push bacteria from the anus forward into the urethra or vagina. When you’re finished, dry gently but thoroughly. Get on with your day and pat yourself on the back for choosing a natural wash that leaves you clean, moisturized, and pH balanced. Wondering how to wash your vagina when you’re traveling? Don’t have time to get in the shower and break out the vaginal wash? Try some pH-balanced moisturizing wipes instead. They’re a convenient and portable way to bring the best hygiene wipes with you wherever you go.

BioNourish® uses Bio-Match® technology which means it is formulated to mimic optimal vaginal conditions with perfectly calibrated pH levels, salt balance, and the same type of beneficial lactic acid produced by healthy lactobacilli for a truly natural and healthy lubricating response. It can be used daily as a moisturizer, as well as during intimacy. With consistent use, BioNourish optimizes levels of pH, salts, and lactic acid to create a healthy vaginal ecosystem.

Restore® and BioNourish® are both water-based, pH-balanced, OB/GYN-recommended moisturizers, and feature our patented Bio-Match® technology. Additionally, both can be used as a personal lubricant for intimacy and are compatible with condoms and sex toys. In terms of how they're different, Restore® Moisturizing Vaginal Gel is formulated using an organic aloe base which perfectly mimics natural vaginal moisture. Restore is great for individuals who don’t typically experience skin sensitivities or allergic reactions. This product is lightly flavored. BioNourish® Ultra Moisturizing Vaginal Gel, on the other hand, features hyaluronic acid, an ingredient known for its superior moisture-locking capabilities. BioNourish helps sensitive vaginal tissue retain moisture and heal and is formulated using a hydroxyethylcellulose base instead of aloe. This product is best suited for individuals with skin sensitivities or who may need to accommodate atrophied or otherwise compromised vaginal tissues. It is also hypoallergenic and unflavored.
