Which cleanser to prefer for intimate hygiene

Detergents for intimate hygiene have always been products that are part of our monthly shopping basket, but we know exactly what they contain and above all we know how to choose the best solution for such delicate areas?

There are various types of industrial preparations, generally enriched with some of the most natural ingredients that attract our attention, such as mallow, calendula, tea tree.

Let's see then to better understand what can be indicated for mucosal cleansing.

Intimate Cleanser and pH

The first aspect to consider is the respect of the pH of the part . Skin acidity is a protective factor against external infections.

Our skin is in fact structured to know how to defend itself against pathogens . If we are going to clean it with aggressive substances that do not respect its pH, we are impoverishing it and exposing it to risk factors.

Given that we are talking about intimate parts, clogged with clothes, in a generally damp environment it is essential to be careful and choose the correct intimate cleanser, which has a pH around 4.

Detergent Action

We all look for an intimate product that performs a delicate but effective and protective cleansing action, also because we use it daily, at certain times even several times a day.

We are looking for detergents that contain sweet almond oil or coconut oil, with detergent, moisturizing and disinfectant properties.

The emollient action

The intimate cleanser must guarantee an emollient action, in case of inflammation, irritation, even simply by rubbing.

Active ingredients that respond to this type of request are mucilaginous remedies such as mallow, plantain and island lichen.

Also enriched with vitamins E and A they guarantee hydration, defense of the mucous membranes, absorb excesses of moisture and make the product easily applicable and spreadable directly on the part.

Refreshing Action

Another aspect that guides our choice in the intimate hygiene product is the refreshing action.

In many products we find an active blend of essential oils such as bergamot, sweet and bitter orange, cedar wood and tea tree, with an antibacterial, antifungal action, which must be conveyed in an oil such as sweet almond oil or of castor which respect the pH of the skin with cleansing.
