1. Ina Labs: Featured in our highlight of 2024's Top Sexual Wellness Trends in Aesthetics, "Ina Labs offers products aimed at everyday vaginal health. The intimate care company was founded by Beri Ridgeway, M.D., an obstetrician-gynecologist, and Susan Goldsberry, a cosmetics and skin care formulator. The brand is geared towards women, especially mature women, who want gentle products for the vulva. The flagship products are a cleanser, balm, oil elixir, hydrating serum and anti-chafe cream designed to be gentle enough for the vulva. Goldsberry told Forbes that while tending to her elderly mother, she realized that there are few products on the market for women older than 55 years old who deal with vaginal dryness caused by reduced estrogen levels. Vulvovaginal dryness can start to occur in perimenopause, during menopause or post-menopause, according to Dr. Ridgeway. With less estrogen, the skin in the vulva region can tighten, leading to painful sex, general irritation and overall dryness. Ridgeway told Forbes the second most common issue is excess moisture in the vulva, which can lead to infection or a bacterial imbalance."
