Intimate hygiene is a fundamental aspect of daily hygiene, often underestimated.
Irritation, dryness, and itching can become annoying problems, both at home and when traveling.
The good news? You can prevent them by using natural, gentle products that respect your skin's pH .

The acid mantle and the importance of pH

Our skin is protected by an "acid mantle," a natural barrier that defends against external agents and supports the immune system.

Its slightly acidic pH is essential for maintaining the skin's balance.
Fortunately, the skin has a great ability to self-regulate its pH after using rinse-off cleansers, as long as they are gentle.

Intimate hygiene and well-being: prevention is better

Proper intimate hygiene is essential to prevent:

• Irritation and dryness
• Recurring infections and ailments
• Skin microbiota imbalances

It is therefore essential to choose delicate intimate cleansers , with soothing, emollient properties and capable of respecting the skin's balance.

Natural intimate cleansers: beware of marketing

Many products on the market boast a "physiological" pH , but this is not always synonymous with quality.

Beware of false myths:

• A slightly alkaline pH is not necessarily harmful
• The real focus should be on short and safe INCI , possibly with natural ingredients , on dermatological tests and respect for sensitive skin

Natural coconut soap: gentle, effective, and multifunctional

Coccoon solid soap is an excellent example of a natural intimate cleanser for daily hygiene. Although it has a slightly alkaline pH (typical of true artisanal soaps - learn more about the saponification process and the optimal pH in natural solid soaps here ), it doesn't alter the skin's natural balance , which is restored naturally.

Why it works:

• It is formulated with 60% pure coconut oil Coccoon which gives it a small unsaponifiable fraction that improves the sensory profile of the solid bar.
• Contains natural glycerin with known antioxidant, hydrating, emollient and sebum-regulating properties
• It is tested and certified for sensitive skin , also suitable for newborns and the most problematic skin.
• It is multipurpose : face, hands, body, underwear, hair, teeth (as an alternative to toothpaste!)

If necessary, even pure coconut oil as is can be a valid ally in resolving itching or redness in the genital areas .

Coconut oil: a natural ally for intimate areas

In some cases, using pure coconut oil can help reduce:

• Itching

• Irritations, even in newborns

Furthermore, its versatility also makes it useful in more intimate and sensual contexts, as a natural lubricant.
