Price: $37.What it isMomotaro Apotheca was started in Portland, Oregon by Lindsay Wynn and Taylor Samuelsen. Wynn, a former beauty photographer, says she started making her own products after years of recurring yeast infections and BV, when drugstore options either didn't work or made things worse. The Salve is a certified organic balm for the vulva with a coconut and jojoba base, plus goldenseal, Oregon grape, echinacea, calendula and tea tree. The brand says it comforts dryness, itching and irritation, including irritation that comes with yeast infections and BV, and calms friction from sex, sweat and tight clothing. Free of alcohol, parabens, phthalates, silicone, sulfates and synthetic fragrance.Who it's for

Vulvar dryness, itching, irritation or burning

Chafing and sensitivity from sex, tight clothing, sweat or exercise

Comfort alongside treatment for yeast infections or BV, per the brand

Post-shave irritation and ingrown hairs, per customer reviews

Not the pick if you are pregnant or breastfeeding (it contains goldenseal), or if tea tree oil irritates your skin

How to use itPer Momotaro Apotheca's own directions:
