A soothing, pH-aware liquid wash crafted to refresh and cleanse the external intimate area without upsetting the body’s natural flora.
This blend focuses on comfort, hydration, and mild odor control while avoiding harsh surfactants, fragrances, or irritants. Suitable for daily use, especially for those with sensitive skin.
This gentle wash is a water-based formula enriched with botanical soothing agents and lightly acidic ingredients to match the natural external pH (around 4–5.5). It helps maintain freshness, calm irritation, and hydrate the delicate skin around the vulva—without internal use or douching.
The texture is light and mildly silky thanks to aloe and glycerin. The scent is soft and natural, especially if you include the optional lavender oil.

Step-by-Step Method
1. Prepare a strong chamomile infusion
- Steep 1–2 chamomile tea bags (or 1 tbsp dried flowers) in ~50 ml boiling water.
- Cover and let it brew for at least 10 minutes to extract soothing compounds.
- Allow it to cool completely.
2. Mix your soothing gel base
In a disinfected bowl:
- Combine aloe vera gel (30 ml),
- vegetable glycerin (10 ml), and
-
vitamin E (3–5 drops).
Stir until smooth and uniform.
3. Add the water ingredients
- Pour the cooled chamomile tea (25 ml) into the gel mixture.
- Add distilled water (200 ml).
- Stir gently to avoid foam.
4. Adjust the pH with apple cider vinegar
-
Add 5 ml diluted raw apple cider vinegar.
This slightly acidifies the wash, helping match natural external pH.
5. Add gentle fragrance (optional)
-
Add 2–3 drops of lavender essential oil if desired.
Mix well but lightly—avoid creating bubbles.
6. Package the wash
- Funnel the finished liquid into a sanitized 250 ml bottle.
- Shake lightly before each use, as natural ingredients may settle.

NB:
A humectant is an ingredient that draws moisture from the air into the skin, helping keep it soft, hydrated, and smooth.
In your formula, vegetable glycerin is the humectant.
It works by attracting water and holding it on the skin’s surface, preventing dryness — which is especially helpful in delicate areas.
