5 ways to use Nourish intimate skin moisturizer

Intimate moisturizers — sometimes known as vaginal moisturizers — are all the rage right now. 

Whether this holy grail product is used to combat vaginal dryness or to complement an intimate care routine, intimate moisturizers are able to replenish the body's naturally occurring supply of moisture. 

But Nourish, Bloomi's clean, oil-based intimate skin moisturizer, offers so much more than drugstore items do. Formulated with clean ingredients from our Yes List, Nourish is free from parabens, phthalates, glycerin, dyes, synthetic fragrances and ingredients that disrupt intimate skin — making it safe for all intimate areas, not just vaginas. 

Even more, with plant-based ingredients like neem oil and castor oil, which work together to prevent yeast infections and promote healthy hair growth, you can use Nourish in creative ways that will elevate your intimate care, self care, hair care and even skin care routines. 

We’re breaking down all the ways you can use Nourish below — so grab a tube of the delicious, cocoa-scented intimate skin moisturizer and let’s get started.  

Intimate skin moisturizer 

Nourish was designed to gently and safely moisturize external intimate areas, such as the skin on the outer labia, penis, anus and breasts. Its clean, oil-based formula soothes dryness or irritation from daily activities, like exercise, tight clothing, sex or even friction from toilet paper, as well as estrogen changes that stem from experiencing stress and anxiety, menopause, or taking certain medications. While vaginal dryness typically isn't cause for major concern, this dehydration can prompt discomfort and pain if left untreated.

Ingrown hair serum

Nourish's moisturizing and soothing properties also make it ideal for care after pubic hair removal. As organic coconut oil and sesame oil alleviate dryness, organic neem oil soothes sensitive areas and organic castor oil softens pubic hair and promotes healthy hair growth. Calming and soothing, it helps to prevent and treat bumps and ingrown hairs that sometimes follow intimate hair removal. 

Yeast infection treatment

Nourish is also jam-packed with organic, plant-based ingredients that prevent and treat yeast infections. Sesame oil is a natural anti-inflammatory that alleviates dryness and helps prevent yeast infections.

Dry relief spot treatment

Nourish can also be used to treat dry skin patches related to cold weather, allergies, dermatitis and even psoriasis. Rich in organic coconut oil, it nourishes the skin and relieves dryness. Safe for our intimate skin, which is the most porous part of the body, it’s also safe for the skin on the rest of our body and face. 

Bloomi’s resident sexologist, co-founder and CEO Rebecca Alvarez Story, uses Nourish as a hand moisturizer. Meanwhile, when I’m having a psoriasis flare up and don’t want to use my prescribed lotion, especially on my face, I grab Nourish, which gently calms the break out — sometimes as quickly as overnight. 

Lip balm

With its balm-like texture and light cocoa butter aroma that melts down to an oil when massaged into the skin, Nourish can also make for a moisturizing lip balm that feels and smells good on the lips — you decide which pair. 

A quick summary

While intimate moisturizers are growing in popularity (and for good reason!), they’re not all made the same. Nourish is a clean, oil-based formula free from all the bad and harmful stuff. Plant-powered, this affordable item from the Bloomi Essentials line is also safe for other parts of the body and face. Moreover, it’s made with rich ingredients that moisturize the skin and can also prevent and treat yeast infections, ingrown hairs, dry patches and more.
