Ingredients Suitable for Intimate Areas

Based on the product information, some ingredients are suitable for use in formulations for intimate areas due to their gentle nature or specific design for this purpose.

• Clean-n-Cool™ (Intimate Cooling Odor Absorption): This ingredient is specifically designed for products used in the intimate area. It helps absorb odors and provides a mild, long-lasting cooling sensation.
• Eye Preserved™ (Polyhexamethylene Biguanide, PHMB): While primarily developed as a preservative for contact lens cleaners and eye area products, its description highlights its gentleness and suitability for sensitive skin, including use in baby wipes and as a gentle disinfectant. This suggests it could be considered for gentle formulations for intimate areas.
• Polox-Mix™ (Non-Irritating Cleansing Water): This is a gentle cleansing water base suitable for sensitive skin and around the eyes. Its non-irritating properties make it potentially suitable for gentle cleansing products for intimate areas.

Other ingredients like Chloroxylenol (PCMX) are disinfectants but are typically used in general cleaning or disinfectant products and may not be suitable for the sensitive intimate area. Povidone-iodine is restricted to medical drugs and not allowed in cosmetics.

When formulating products for intimate areas, it is crucial to prioritize gentleness and safety. Always perform necessary testing, such as challenge tests, to ensure the efficacy and safety of the final product.
