Why you shouldn’t cleanse your vulva with soap

Most people have no idea of this fact. According to market research by Lip Intimate Care (Sweden), over 90% of women suffer from intimate zone imbalances.

The reason for this is often the use of soap for cleansing. All over the body, the skin produces sebum, which protects the skin from water and makes it resistant to microorganisms that can cause infections. Soap dissolves sebum to a certain extent, so you should always use soap sparingly.

The mucous membranes of the vulva have some sebaceous glands, but not enough to keep themselves and the entrance to the vagina healthy if washed regularly with soap. This can lead to the vulva and vagina becoming more prone to infection and chronic inflammation.

Therefore, it is best to wash them with vegetable oil, because oil cleans, nourishes and prevents the intimate area from drying out.

Lip Intimate Care oils suit those who are looking for a healthier alternative to soap and want to keep the intimate area in balance.

Ideal if you have recurring problems, are stressed, pregnant, breastfeeding or going through menopause.
