A healthy vulva
A healthy vulva
The skin of the vulva is colonized by natural microbial flora including lactobacilli. The skin also produces a protective hydrolipidic film using its own lipids (fats) and moisture binding substances. The hydrolipidic film has an acidic pH of about 5.0-5.5 and is also known as the protective acid mantle of the skin. This forms a natural defense against pathogens (disease- causing micro-organisms) in the vulvar area.
The healthy intimate area
A healthy system can compensate for external influences and, for example after washing, restore the hydrolipidic film, as well as the skin’s protective mechanisms and defense against infection.
The intimate area out of balance
In case of sustained or long-lasting disruption of the hydrolipidic film, the skin cannot regenerate itself quickly enough, which can result in skin irritation and damage. Skin damaged in this way can be more susceptible to pathogens, which can spread further and also enter the vagina.
If you are among the women who often suffer from skin irritation in the external genital area or if you simply want to feel cared for, Dr Wolff’s V-san Intimate Wash Lotion is recommended for mild daily cleansing and care for the sensitive skin in this area.
