What makes IRIS so unique?
IRIS is dedicated to providing clean, safe, and inclusive vulvovaginal care products. Our formulations are water-based and free from harmful chemicals, flavours, and fragrances. Backed by scientific research, clean ingredients ensure optimal hydration and skin health for all ages. IRIS aims to educate and destigmatize women's health, making vulvovaginal care accessible and normalized.
What is the difference between a lube and a vulva moisturizer?
The lubricant is designed to reduce friction during intimate activities, providing smoothness and comfort. A vulva moisturizer, on the other hand, is intended for daily use to hydrate and nourish the vulvar skin, supporting its natural barrier and relieving dryness and discomfort.
What is the intended use? Can I use the moisturizer daily?
Absolutely! Our vulva moisturizer is formulated to provide gentle, everyday hydration for the vulvar area. Incorporating it into your daily skincare routine can help maintain optimal vulvar health and comfort. Don’t forget to wash your hands before applying!
What are the ingredients, osmolarity and pH of IRIS?
Check out our Personal Lubricant ingredients and our Vulva Moisturizer ingredients. Or read our blog: The Low Down on Lubes for more information on pH and osmolarity.
What about harmful ingredients; like flavours, fragrances and sugar?
No, our products are free from harsh chemicals, parabens, glycols, glycerine and other known irritants. We prioritize the use of gentle, skin-loving ingredients to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for our customers.
Why water-based?
Water-based formulations are gentle and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. They help maintain the natural moisture balance of the vulvar area without causing irritation or discomfort. Additionally, water-based products are compatible with latex condoms and silicone toys, making them versatile for various uses.
Are IRIS products latex condoms and silicone toys?
Yes, IRIS products are compatible with latex condoms and silicone toys, making them safe and versatile for use in diverse intimate activities.
Is IRIS cruelty-free?
Yes, IRIS is proud to be cruelty-free. We do not conduct any animal testing on our products.
How much product should I be using?
Personal Lubricant: Start with a minimal amount and gradually increase to achieve the desired friction-free feeling. The quantity needed can vary with different activities, so adjust accordingly as you get to know your preferences. Keep in mind that your needs might change from one use to the next.
Vulva Moisturizer: Begin with a small application and add more if necessary. We find the sweet spot is to use the vulva moisturizer daily for 2 weeks before adjusting how much/frequency of application. Your skin's hydration needs can vary, so don't hesitate to reapply as needed to maintain optimal moisture levels.

How do your products contribute to overall vaginal health?
Our formulations are crafted to support the delicate balance of vulvovaginal health. Maintaining proper hydration and nourishment of the vulvar skin is crucial for overall vaginal well-being. By helping to preserve the natural pH balance and moisture levels, our products contribute to a healthier vulvovaginal environment, reducing the risk of irritation and discomfort.
Can your products be used by individuals of all ages?
Yes, our products are designed to be safe and effective for vulvas of all ages. Whether you are menstruating, pregnant, experiencing menopause, or any stage in between, IRIS products can help maintain your vulvar health.
Is there an applicator for use of the moisturizer?
No, we intentionally opted for no applicator. Most people who experience dryness have pain in the lower third of the vagina and the external vulva. When using an applicator, most of the product will end up too high and you may not notice as much benefit. We recommend using your fingers to apply the product exactly where you need it.
