WHAT IS MICROBIOME TESTING FOR VULVO-VAGINAL HEALTH?

Microbiome testing is a rigorous process that evaluates how products interact with the delicate balance of microorganisms that naturally reside in the vulvo-vaginal area. A healthy microbiome is crucial for preventing infections, maintaining pH balance, and overall vaginal health. By passing this testing, our products have been proven to support and not disrupt this vital ecosystem.

Understanding the microbiome's role in vulvo-vaginal health is essential. The microbiome consists of a diverse community of bacteria and other microorganisms that work together to protect against harmful pathogens. Disruption of this balance can lead to various health issues, including infections and irritation. Our allergy-free organic cotton products have been tested to ensure they do not negatively impact this delicate balance, thereby promoting optimal health.

The testing process involves comprehensive assessments conducted by experts in microbiology and gynecology. These tests simulate real-life conditions to determine how our products interact with the microbiome. Passing these tests confirms that our products are safe and beneficial for long-term use, providing our customers with confidence in their choice of intimate apparel.

WHO IS MYMICROBIOME?

Founded in 2018, MyMicrobiome is a renowned organization specializing in microbiome research and testing, with a particular focus on intimate care products. They are primarily composed of young and committed female scientists and microbiome enthusiasts, dedicated to spreading knowledge about maintaining a healthy, unharmed microbiome and serving as a decision-making tool for customers and a profiling tool for brands.

The Europe-based organization employs cutting-edge methodologies to assess how products influence the delicate microbiome of the body. Their rigorous testing standards validate the safety and efficacy of products like our allergy-free organic cotton garments.

HOW DOES MICRIOBIOME TESTING WORK?

The rigorous testing, known as the MyMicrobiome Standard, evaluates the influence of cosmetic and personal care products on the microbiome located at specific skin or mucous membrane sites.

"An intact skin microbiome has a fundamental influence on skin health. Products that are to be skin-friendly must also be microbiome-friendly in order not to unbalance the skin of the user," stated MyMicrobiome on their website, reiterating the need to have a standardized procedure that meticulously examines the products' influence on the key organisms typical for each skin area.

Each product they test undergoes evaluation with grades ranging from 1 to 3 based on specific criteria. A grade of 1 is awarded if the product demonstrates no or positive influence on critical aspects. Products showing a very weak negative impact receive a grade of 2, while those with a clear negative influence are graded 3.

In recent tests, all of our certified allergy-free organic cotton products scored 1.0 for maintaining skin microbiome balance, 2.0 for enhancing microbiome diversity, and 1.3 for direct skin-product contact. As a result, each product has achieved an overall grade of 1.4, reflecting their outstanding performance across evaluated criteria.
