Help for dry intimate area

Q for Skin founder Florence Ellinor Nilsson, a nurse, has developed an intimate care concept with natural nourishment that both prevents discomfort and helps to effectively rebuild and strengthen dry mucous membranes. 

Women of all ages periodically suffer from dry, fragile mucous membranes. The underlying cause may be menopause, hormonal imbalance, drying intimate wash, or atopic skin.


Many women find it difficult to find alternatives to medical treatment and self-care that is both simple and gentle and can effectively help dry mucous membranes.

When it comes to intimate problems, it is important to look at the big picture:

- Which intimate wash should I use?
- Do I lubricate my intimate area? If so, with what? Do I do it daily?
- Am I getting enough omega fats in the right balance and of good quality?

Midwives' tips for a intimate area

Three experienced midwives share how Q for Skin has made a difference for both their patients and themselves.

"Absolutely the best for dry mucous membranes in the genital area. Makes an immediate noticeable difference and removes discomfort and itching caused by dryness. Also wonderfully softening the whole body, quickly absorbed by the skin and leaves it feeling smooth without feeling oily. Such a great product, highly recommended!"

- Anna, midwife

"As a midwife, I meet many women of different ages and I have seen how a healthy intimate area can significantly improve the quality of life of women. The range of products for the genital area is abundant, but few that, in their simplicity, can make a big difference to people's quality of life. I am therefore happy to recommend Q for Skin to my patients but also to my friends and of course to myself."

- Ann, midwife

"I had been suffering from itching for a long time and sought medical attention. I was prescribed cortisone cream and advised to moisturise a rich cream, but was told that there wasn't much else that could be done. When I tried Blackcurrant Oil as an intimate oil, I actually noticed a difference after just a week. I had been suffering for several years – so unnecessary when there was something that could help!"

- Leslie, midwife

Blackcurrant Oil

"The world's best natural oil. An exceptionally fine oil that I use daily on my lower body, and have done so for years. It lasts forever; since my last purchase, I'm sure I've fallen off the customer list."

"Your products are fantastic, they really work, and feel safe to use with good content, so now I have ordered the intimate care package. As I easily get dry in the outer part of my ears, I tried using Blackcurrant oil, and it works just fine. So glad I have found your products, and have recommended your products to my friends as they work so well".

"I wonder what kind of miracle cure you have developed! I have not used the ointment I was prescribed by the doctor, but instead I have used the oil three times a day and washed with the intimate wash. It is not completely gone, but significantly better! So heavenly nice, you really have awesome products!"

Blackcurrant capsules

"For the past ten years, I have had problems with dry and fragile mucous membranes. I didn't have much hope left, but what little I had remaining prompted me to visit a health food store once again. This time, I was advised to moisturise Blackcurrant Oil from Q for Skin, and I took a sample home with me. The next day, I was there as soon as they opened and bought the oil, which I started moisturise at least three times a day. I also bought Blackcurrant Capsules to nourish myself from the inside. I'm not dry anymore."
