Afterplay - Intimate Tissue Recovery Serum
This is what we reach for in an ouch situation. It's for use on anogenital tissues, regardless of the origin of the problem. We may have very irritated and inflamed skin membranes due to yeast, or to another imbalance of the vaginal biome. We may struggle with a chronic health condition that leaves us painfully dry and abraded, or we may need assistance with a condition that causes scaling and micro-tears. Or perhaps we suffer from hemorrhoids, which are varicose veins that can be mightily painful. We may need skincare to assist in recovery of healthy tissues following a surgical repair/episiotomy, after the wound has closed. Or, maybe we played too hard.
Pump into palm of hand and apply with fingertips, as needed. One or two pumps is just right for intimate recovery.

BLACK CUMIN SEED OIL
Black cumin seed oil has long standing use in herbal medicine for its reliability and efficacy in wound care. A contemporary body of research now serves to substantiate the historical use of black cumin seed oil. One study shows that 6 weeks of topical use significantly reduced skin irritation and influenced the improvement of skin hydration and epidermal barrier function.
DAHURIAN ANGELICA EXTRACT
This striking, 6-foot-tall purple stalk, dressed with aromatic foliage and topped with dozens of white umbels, grows widely in the high grasslands and streamsides of China, where it is called Bai Zhi. The root contains the pain-relieving coumarin, scopoletin. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it’s used topically for itching, and is a most noteworthy treatment for leucorrhea (excessive white vaginal discharge.)
CALENDULA EXTRACT
Calendula is chiefly used as a topical remedy, with widespread use in traditional plant medicine. It is considered a fine, gentle yet potent vulnerary, effective in the treatment of irritation, dryness, inflammation, eczema and scaling conditions.
A simple maceration of the sticky, resinous flowers is traditionally regarded a most useful remedy for sprains and wounds. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has “approved its lipophilic and aqueous alcoholic extracts as traditional medicinal products for the treatment of minor inflammation of the skin and as an aid in the healing of minor wounds,” due to its established effect on granulation of wounded tissue, as a result of an enhancement of “the amount of collagen in the supernatant of human dermal fibroblasts.”
