Why an Intimate Cream?
We have decided to use the term “Intimate Cream” as opposed to “Personal Lubricant”. Firstly, this has less of a sexual connotation, and we feel it makes the purchase easier. Secondly, this product has multiple uses apart from intercourse! Women can experience vaginal dryness from several causes, and Olive & Bee may improve comfort and wellbeing.

Olive & Bee was developed by Claire Osterstock, an Australian Pelvic Health Physiotherapist after she discovered a lack of natural products available for Women. Extra Virgin Olive Oil was chosen as a base, as it is naturally antibacterial and anti-fungal. It is high in antioxidants which means it is self-preserving without the need to add chemical preservatives. Olive Oil also has a low comedogenic rating, so it is less likely to block pores than other oils such as coconut oil. Beeswax was used as a natural thickener which also has anti-inflammatory properties. Both substances are anhydrous, which means they have low water activity so don’t grow nasty bacteria, fungi or mould. The low water content also means that they won’t interfere with vaginal pH.
