• Vervain traditionally used for calming and soothing feminine care
• Guinea Weed long used in Caribbean cleansing and balance practices
These herbs were traditionally used by Caribbean women to support feminine hygiene, balance, and comfort, particularly during hormonal changes, which is why this cleanser was created with PCOS girlies in mind.

⸻
What is dry brushing and why is it part of the Coochie Care routine?
Dry brushing is a traditional self care practice used to gently exfoliate the skin and support circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Within the Coochie Care routine, dry brushing helps:
• Remove dead skin cells that can clog hair follicles
• Reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs
• Support smoother looking skin
• Encourage lymphatic movement in the bikini and inner thigh area
• Prepare the skin for cleansing and oil application
Dry brushing is especially beneficial before waxing or shaving, and for PCOS girlies who experience thicker hair growth or recurring ingrowns.
Dry brushing should always be done on dry skin before showering, using gentle upward strokes.
⸻

Yes. All products are created with sensitive and hormonally reactive skin in mind, including PCOS girlies.
