Ingredients
At Momotaro, we understand that the vagina has safeguards of its own, so we’ve made products that work with your body to resolve imbalance without disrupting good bacteria or affecting pheromones.
Our products are formulated with an eye towards purposeful simplicity and functionality. We never use harsh additives or stabilizers. Our products are always:
sulfate free | silicone free | paraben free | cruelty free
Our team has selected only the highest quality ingredients that have proven clinical relevance. All Momotaro products are made with organic ingredients — never chemicals or synthetics.
For more details on our favorite ingredients, please read on:
Shea Butter: Shea butter has been used for centuries to hydrate skin which has been exposed to extreme elements. Shea butter is naturally rich in Vitamins A and E as well as essential fatty acids and other vitamins and minerals. It's naturally anti-inflammatory and has anti-cancer elements as well. We use an all Organic Refined Shea Butter, a process that removes some of the oil's smell while retaining naturally beneficial properties. Learn more here.
Coconut Oil: Rich in fatty acids, Coconut Oil has been found to kill harmful bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens, in particular, Candida Albicans. We've selected the highest grade Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil for our products. It's natural anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and antiviral properties make it a perfect base for our salve. Learn more about Coconut Oil's effect on Candida and Gardnerella here.
