Summer's Eve Sheer Floral Cleansing Wash

Summary

Summer's Eve Sheer Floral Cleansing Wash scores 8/100. The fundamental issue is that mainstream medical consensus (ACOG and others) actively recommends against intra-vaginal washing -- the vulva self-cleans and intimate washes can disrupt the natural pH and microbiome, increasing the risk of bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections. So this is a product whose entire premise is medically discouraged. On top of that, the formula is preserved with DMDM Hydantoin (formaldehyde-releasing preservative) -- using a formaldehyde donor on the body's most sensitive mucosal area is a meaningful concern. Plus iodopropynyl butylcarbamate (EU-restricted), heavy synthetic fragrance, and synthetic Yellow 5 + Yellow 6 dyes. Owned by Prestige Consumer Healthcare.
