Skin-tolerant products for the intimate hygiene

The product "KadeFungin® Milchsäurekur" by the pharmaceutical producer DR. KADE Pharmazeutische Fabrik GmbH, specialist in Gynaecology, Proctology and pain therapy carries the proDERM quality seal “dermatologically confirmed”. The microbial settlement which exists naturally in the female genital area is called the vaginal flora. This flora is the basis for the formation of an acidic environment, which protects against bacterial infections. The natural protection of the vaginal flora is at risk if this environment is disturbed, causing its pH value to decrease. "KadeFungin® Milchsäurekur" is supposed to stabilize and regenerate an imbalanced vaginal flora. In order to do so, the product contains lactic acid components which are embedded in a moisturizing gel.

The mucous tolerability of the product components were at first examined in a repetitive patch test. Subsequently, "KadeFungin® Milchsäurekur" was tested on 23 female subjects in a one-week use test. The genital area was dermatologically and gynaecologically examined, prior to, and after, application. Furthermore, at the end of the study, selected product properties were assessed by the subjects themselves.proDERM assessed a very good mucous tolerability in the patch test.

The product achieved a very good result in the use study with regard to the tolerability. The subjects also assessed the product properties as good to very good.
