Tested for you: Intimate hygiene “Sensitive Comfort Intimate Wash” from Team Dr. Joseph
Intimate hygiene is still a sensitive topic that is fraught with myths and misunderstandings. But this is only the case in our Western culture. I remember traveling in Brazil decades ago and finding drugstore shelves full of intimate hygiene products. Could it be that Brazilian women are naturally more body-conscious and take better care of themselves?
Intimate hygiene requires special products
The fact is that proper intimate hygiene is not only essential for women. Men should also take care to cleanse gently in order to prevent skin irritation and infections. The assumption that conventional shower gels and soaps are sufficient for this purpose is incorrect. This is because their use can significantly disrupt the intimate flora and microbiome. Aggressive surfactants are particularly problematic. They produce abundant foam, which many women mistakenly interpret as better cleansing. However, they can dry out the skin and upset the balance of the microbiome.
Another disadvantage of these cleaning products is that many have a higher pH value than the natural, slightly acidic pH value of the intimate area. They may also contain irritating ingredients such as sulfates and fragrances. And if you change the natural pH value in the intimate area, the growth of unwanted germs increases and the risk of infection rises.
Mild intimate soap with pH balance
Team Dr. Joseph‘s Sensitive Comfort Intimate Wash is a mild intimate soap containing hyaluronic acid, prickly pear, and aloe vera, to name just a few ingredients. It gently cleanses and moisturizes for a natural feeling of freshness. It preserves the natural pH value of the intimate area and supports the natural balance of the skin flora. Did you know? There are more than 500 different types of bacteria that make up the vaginal microbiome. These include over 30 types of lactobacilli, as well as viruses and fungi, which together form the vaginome.
The key ingredients
- Glycerin is a moisturizing agent that helps keep the skin hydrated and supple. It supports the natural moisture balance of the intimate area and prevents dryness.
- Hyaluronic acid binds water and helps to moisturize the skin. In the intimate area, it adheres to the epithelial cells of the vaginal mucosa, which helps to retain moisture and prevent dryness.
- Prickly pear has antioxidant properties that help protect cell membranes and strengthen the skin barrier. In the intimate area, it can promote natural moisture balance, support the skin’s protective function, and soothe irritation.
- Oats are known for their moisturizing and soothing properties. They can help care for sensitive skin and relieve irritation in the intimate area.
Intimate hygiene for daily use
The intimate soap is dermatologically tested, fragrance-free, and suitable for daily use on all skin types—even sensitive skin. It leaves you feeling clean and fresh—without drying out your skin. Incidentally, the lightly foaming gel in the practical dispenser can be used not only in the intimate area. It can also be used for gentle cleansing of the entire body.

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
