Intimate wash for odor

Bad odor in the intimate area is a more common concern than many people think, in both men and women. While it is often associated with a lack of hygiene, in reality the problem often stems from a pH imbalance or the use of inappropriate soaps. In these cases, an intimate wash can be a great tool to restore daily freshness and comfort. 

What is an intimate wash and how does it work?

Intimate wash, also known as intimate hygiene gel, is a gentle cleanser formulated to eliminate impurities, sweat, and excess oil without altering the natural microbiota. Unlike body soaps or shampoos, its pH is carefully adjusted to respect the natural balance of the intimate area, helping to prevent bad odors and discomfort.

Maxalli's Intimate Gel, for example, is made with botanical ingredients and a bio-adaptive formula that contains provitamin B5 (dexpanthenol) and xylitol, two key components for keeping skin hydrated and irritation-free. In addition, it is sulfate, silicone, and fragrance-free, so it cleans without drying or altering the natural balance.

Most common causes of intimate odor

1. Use of inappropriate soaps: many body products contain strong detergents (such as sulfates) that alter the natural pH.

2. Tight or synthetic clothing: reduces ventilation and increases sweating.

3. Stress and hormonal changes: can modify the natural bacterial flora.

4. Constant hair removal or shaving: can cause micro-irritations and alter the skin barrier.

Therefore, the first step to eliminate bad odor is to use a product suitable for the intimate area, one that cleans without harming.

Ingredients that help eliminate intimate odor

Maxalli's intimate wash contains a blend of gentle and effective active ingredients:

• Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate: biodegradable plant-based surfactant that cleans without irritating.

• Xylitol: helps balance the natural microbiota and provides a feeling of freshness.

• Dexpanthenol (Provitamin B5): regenerates and soothes the skin after shaving.

• Citric acid: maintains a slightly acidic pH, ideal for preventing bad odors.

How to use an intimate wash correctly

1. Wet the intimate area.

2. Apply a small amount of the product.

3. Gently massage without excessive rubbing.

4. Rinse with plenty of water.

5. Dry with a clean towel, without friction.

Daily use is recommended, especially after exercise or in hot climates.
