Andrographis paniculata intimate wash formulation (Androfem)

This study focuses on AndroFem, an intimate wash made using Andrographis paniculata, a medicinal plant known for its antimicrobial properties. The intimate wash includes natural ingredients such as peppermint oil, mild surfactants, and safe preservatives. Antimicrobial tests showed that AndroFem effectively kills harmful vaginal pathogens such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans and Streptococcus agalactiae while supporting beneficial microbiota, Lactobacillus crispatus. It was also found to be non-toxic, chemically stable, and free from microbial contamination, making it safe for long-term use. Overall, it demonstrates potential as a natural and effective alternative to existing intimate hygiene products.
