It’s made to help with vaginal dryness, itching and unusual odor; so it’s my go-to before I feel like I should make a doctor’s appointment. And I feel comfortable using it, because of their Bio-Match Technology. Good Clean Love’s patented Bio-Match Technology taps into three factors that can maintain a healthy vaginal microbiome; which are osmolality, a healthy vaginal pH range and lactobacilli. Good Clean Love’s products are iso-osmolar to help you retain moisture and not strip any away. They have a pH range of 3.5 to 4.5 so their products match your vaginal pH range. And they contain lactic acid to help maintain a healthy vaginal biome.
