Pelvic & intimate wellness
Soothing comfort for sensitive intimate skin
Vulva & Body Balm is a rich, water-free balm of organic aloe vera, mango and shea butters — made to soothe, nourish and protect dry, delicate skin. Fragrance-free, paraben-free and gentle enough for everyday use.
For vulvodynia, dryness & sensitive intimate skin
How Vulva & Body Balm soothes sensitive vulval tissue
Vulvodynia and vulvar dryness can make the most ordinary moments uncomfortable — and standard body moisturisers are rarely formulated with the sensitivity of intimate skin in mind. Vulva & Body Balm is a concentrated, anhydrous balm made from organic botanicals selected specifically for their ability to nourish, calm, and protect delicate vulval tissue without added water, parabens, or preservatives.
Unlike water-based creams, an anhydrous balm creates a protective occlusive layer that holds moisture in the skin rather than adding and then evaporating it. The base is organic Aloe Vera Butter — which concentrates the emollient properties of aloe without any liquid — combined with Mango Seed Butter, Shea Butter, and Coconut Extract, all of which are rich in fatty acids (including stearic and oleic acids) that studies suggest may support the skin barrier and help reduce transepidermal water loss in dry or thinning tissue. Sunflower Oil and Rice Bran Oil contribute linoleic acid, a fatty acid research links to maintaining the integrity of the outermost skin layers. Rosemary Oleoresin acts as a natural antioxidant preservative, and Green Tea Leaf Extract provides polyphenols that studies associate with calming oxidative stress in sensitised skin. Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) rounds out the formula as a well-documented skin-conditioning antioxidant.
Anhydrous barrier protection
A water-free balm base locks in the skin's own moisture and shields thinning or irritated vulval tissue from further dryness.
Organic botanicals chosen for sensitive tissue
Mango Seed, Shea, and Aloe Vera Butter alongside Sunflower and Rice Bran Oils deliver fatty acids that studies link to supporting the skin barrier in delicate intimate areas.
Free from fragrance, parabens & preservatives
Rosemary Oleoresin and Vitamin E preserve the formula naturally — no synthetic additives that commonly trigger reactions in people with sensitive intimate skin.
People with vulvodynia, lichen sclerosus-related dryness, or post-menopausal vulvar atrophy report using it regularly to ease the soreness and tightness that come with thinning or sensitised tissue. Others use it for general vulvar dryness or after waxing and shaving. Because it is free from water, fragrance, parabens, fillers, and artificial preservatives, it tends to suit those who have reacted badly to conventional intimate moisturisers. Responses vary from person to person, and it is a cosmetic product, not a medicine.
Vulva & Body Balm is formulated by Desert Harvest — a company that has spent over thirty years developing products for people with sensitive urological and pelvic health conditions. Its certified organic botanical base and clean, minimal ingredient list reflect the same philosophy that guides every product in the range: nothing unnecessary, nothing harsh.

Questions people ask
Can Vulva & Body Balm help with vulvodynia?
People with vulvodynia use it to help ease the soreness, dryness, and sensitivity associated with the condition. The organic fatty-acid-rich base may help support the skin barrier and reduce discomfort from thinning or irritated tissue. It is a cosmetic balm, not a medicine, and it does not treat the underlying cause of vulvodynia — but many people find regular application helps manage day-to-day comfort.
Is it safe to use on the vulva every day?
Yes. It is designed for regular use on vulval and other sensitive skin. Because it is anhydrous and free from parabens, fragrance, and synthetic preservatives, it is formulated to minimise the risk of irritation. As with any product, if you notice a reaction, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
What makes an anhydrous balm different from an ordinary moisturiser?
Water-based creams and lotions moisturise by adding water to the skin surface, but that water evaporates — often taking the skin's own moisture with it. An anhydrous (water-free) balm works differently: it forms an occlusive layer that slows transepidermal water loss, helping thinning or dry tissue hold onto its own moisture for longer.
Can it be used for vaginal dryness or only externally?
Vulva & Body Balm is formulated for external use on the vulva and surrounding skin. It is not intended for internal vaginal use. For vulvar dryness — particularly the kind associated with perimenopause, post-menopause, or conditions such as lichen sclerosus — external application to the affected tissue is the intended use.
Why people choose it
A calm, water-free balm for delicate skin
A short, clean ingredient list of plant butters and oils — nothing harsh, nothing fragranced.
Triple plant-butter base
Organic aloe vera butter, mango seed butter and shea butter, with sunflower and rice-bran oils to soften and nourish the skin.
Water-free (anhydrous)
No water means no need for harsh preservatives. The balm leaves a soft, cushioning layer that helps the skin hold on to its own moisture.
For sensitive intimate skin
Fragrance-free, paraben-free and 100% natural-origin. Made for external use on the vulva and other delicate areas, and suitable for all ages and skin types.
How it works
Anhydrous plant butters that nourish and protect
Vulva & Body Balm is anhydrous, which simply means it contains no water. That lets it skip the harsh preservatives water-based creams rely on, and it leaves a soft, cushioning layer on the skin.
The base is a blend of three plant butters — organic aloe vera, mango seed and shea — with sunflower and rice-bran oils, rosemary, green tea and vitamin E. Together they help soften, nourish and protect dry, delicate skin, while the occlusive texture helps the skin hold on to its moisture.
It is made for external use on the vulva and other tender areas, and it is gentle enough for all ages and skin types. To understand external intimate care in plain English, read the guide.
