How to Choose a Vaginal Moisturizer to Relieve Intimate Dryness

While many vaginal moisturizers on the market do not adhere to typical pH levels , few of them take into account a fundamental piece of data that has a major impact on the cellular health of the vaginal mucosa: something called osmolarity or osmotic concentration.

In fact, any preparation containing water contains a quantity of dissolved particles, this quantity is measured in mOsm/Kg3 and literally influences the osmosis between the cell and its external environment.

Thus, if the osmolarity of a product is significantly higher than that of the cell, the latter literally implodes with the rapid quantity of water which leaves it (from the less concentrated medium, to the more concentrated) which ends up drying it out and then destroying it.

If, on the contrary, the osmolarity is significantly lower, the opposite occurs, the interior of the cell is literally emptied of its substance, resulting in cellular damage as well.

The perfect osmolarity is actually slightly lower or even close to that of human plasma; between 270 and 310 mOsm/Kg.

This data, although very technical, is nevertheless fundamental in the effectiveness of lubricants and especially vaginal moisturizers.

A vaginal moisturizer that respects pH balance

Thus, the YES VM vaginal moisturizer is one of the best positioned on the market for three reasons:

• An ideal pH of 4.3 to maintain an environment favorable to a balanced vaginal flora.
• Long-lasting moisturizing power, without epithelial damage, thanks to its osmolarity close to plasma.
• A healthy composition without glycerin, parabens, or microbicides…

It is therefore a solid asset in the intimate routine of anyone facing the pangs of vaginal dryness, whether as a preventative measure or as a basic treatment.
