We don't believe fragrance belongs inside your vagina or on your vulva (and most OB/GYNs don't recommend it either). What we don't include is what makes our life-changing formulas so trustworthy.

"The pH Balanced Cleanser™ is the only cleanser I recommend because it's fragrance-free and so gentle on the vulva. It's a far cry from some other intimate cleansers, which can be riddled with harsh chemicals and outdated ingredients."

WHY WE MADE
pH BALANCED CLEANSER™
A lot of women's personal care products contain ingredients we don't believe in, like fragrances and sulfates, which may irritate the vagina and vulva in some women. So, we worked with our experts to create a doctor-developed vulva cleanser that supports your delicate vaginal pH. Even better? It's also packed with soothing and moisturizing ingredients like aloe and calendula.
What we're made of
pH Balanced Cleanser™ is a clinically proven formula that features clinically studied ingredients carefully selected by our team of doctors to support your vulva.†
Aloe vera
Delivers soothing properties and skin-calming effects.
Calendula officinalis flower extract
Contains antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties.
Citric acid
Helps balance pH levels to support healthy intimate skin.
Carrageenan
Binds to water molecules and helps keep that hydration in your skin.
What we never include
Our vulva care products are made without these all-too-common ingredients because we believe they belong nowhere near your wellness routine.
FRAGRANCE
ESSENTIAL OILS
We don't believe essential oils belong inside your vagina or on your vulva (and most OB/GYNs don't recommend it either). We're obsessed with ingredient superiority for our products, and when it comes to your intimate health, essential oils don't make the cut.
GLYCERIN
Glycerin is a moisturizing agent found in many intimacy products. Research suggests glycerin may promote vaginal infections, so we never include it in our intimacy products.
SLS, SLES, AND PEG
We don't believe the surfactants SLS, SLES, and PEG support your well-being, so we'll never include them in our intimate health products. You deserve life-changing formulas that are trustworthy, modern, and safe.
PARABENS
Parabens are preservatives found in many intimacy products. Some research suggests they could act like the hormone estrogen in the body, and some parabens are banned entirely from cosmetics in the EU. With this in mind, we choose to formulate paraben-free.

FAQs
How do I use pH Balanced Cleanser™?
Using clean hands, apply pH Balanced Cleanser™ to the vulva in the shower or bath. Gently work into a lather and rinse clean. Can be used every time you wash. Do not use a bath loofah, sponge, or towel as these may be harsh and rough on the vulva.
Isn’t the vagina self-cleaning? Why do I need a cleanser?
While the vagina cleans itself, the vulva does not, which is where pH Balanced Cleanser™ comes into play!
For vaginas, it’s all about a balanced diet, female-friendly probiotics, and good personal hygiene that does not include douching, harsh soaps, or chemicals that disrupt vaginal flora.
As for the vulva, it needs safe and external cleansing to protect the vaginal environment. The pH Balanced Cleanser™ is designed to maintain good bacteria during cleansing instead of disrupting vaginal flora. You can read more about maintaining a clean vaginal environment here.
What’s the pH of the cleanser?
The pH of the cleanser is 4.2. A healthy vaginal pH can range anywhere between 3.8 - 4.5, as it's unique to each person.
What's the difference between the Love Wellness pH Balanced Cleanser™ and other cleansers?
We don’t believe ingredients like fragrance, parabens, essential oils like lavender oil and tea tree oil, sulfates, and surfactants like SLS, SLES, and PEG belong in women’s vaginal care products. Because of our belief, we make our pH Balanced Cleanser™ without any of these ingredients. Some other personal care cleaners, bar soaps, body washes and more may contain these ingredients.
pH Balanced Cleanser™ is made to match your vagina’s naturally acidic pH levels, is clinically tested as kind to skin, and is OB/GYN-developed.
Does pH Balanced Cleanser™ have any parabens or sulfates?
Our cleanser formula is free of parabens and sulfates.
Is pH Balanced Cleanser™ fragrance-free?
Our formula does not contain any added fragrance (naturally derived or otherwise). We believe fragrance may be a skin irritant and doesn't belong in women's personal care products.
Is pH Balanced Cleanser™ vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes, pH Balanced Cleanser™ is vegan and is not tested on animals.
What's the difference between the vagina and the vulva?
The vulva encompasses all of the external organs, including the pubic mound, the labia majora and minora, the clitoris, the external openings of the urethra and the vagina. The vagina, on the other hand, is the internal muscular canal that leads to the cervix (the opening to the uterus).
Our pH Balanced Cleanser™ is for external use only and should only be used for the vulva and not in the vagina.
How long does the pH Balanced Cleanser™ last? Does it expire?
pH Balanced Cleanser™ will last 2 years through its expiration date if unopened and properly stored in a clean and dry space, away from areas that experience humidity, moisture, or excess heat. Once opened, we recommend using within 2 months to preserve your product. While we know pH Balanced Cleanser™ belongs in your shower/bath, it’s important to store your bottle away from continuously running water - a shelf or dry corner will be the best location!
Can you use the cleanser during or after pregnancy?
We recommend checking-in with your doctor prior to using pH Balanced Cleanser™ to make sure it makes sense for you to use on an individual basis.
