The care and hygiene of the intimate area of men and women is no longer a taboo and intimate cosmetics are becoming more and more important on European market and export.
The beauty industry is inviting itself under the comforter, and consumers of beauty products are now ready!

This new « Sexo-Cosmetic » trend consists in applying cosmetic care to intimate areas as we do for the face.
As it is a sensitive area, the intimate area requires special care, so it is fundamental to remember that intimate cosmetics should not be applied in the internal area of the intimate area or come into contact with the mucous membranes, in order to avoid burns, dryness, irritations or other infections.
Among the most popular products in the market of cosmetics and intimate hygiene, the place is for gels and intimate cleansers with lactic acid, because although the vagina is self-cleaning, the vulva (which consists of the labia majora and minora) is not, so it is always good to remember to use an intimate cleanser for this ultra sensitive area.
In the new trends of intimate care for women, the volumizing and firming gel that allows to increase the size of the breasts and the buttocks… without surgery, intimate scrubs and peels, moisturizing balms for the vulva, intimate oils that help fight against vaginal dryness and symptoms of vulvovaginitis thanks to their moisturizing, soothing and healing properties, intimate musk perfumes also known as « Musk Tahara or White Musk », a thousand-year-old tradition that allows women to eliminate odors that may emanate from the intimate parts during the menstrual cycle, or lightening creams to treat hyperpigmentation of intimate areas such as the pubic mount, the vulva, the anus and inter-gluteal groove as well as the inner thighs and underarms.
