Wellness for women

When founder and American television personality Lo Bosworth was beset with yeast infections, she was told by a doctor that she had ‘bad plumbing’. Unwilling to accept that answer, and uncomfortable with using suppositories that have chemical ingredients, Bosworth turned to a time-tested ingredient: boric acid.

Until now, boric acid could only be accessed with a prescription and then the powder needed to be taken to a compounding pharmacy to be put into capsules. But Love Wellness’s The Killer provides an over-the-counter, pre-made suppository. It is just one item in Love Wellness’s line of feminine care products, that also includes coconut oil feminine wipes, probiotics and a blue green algae tea – all come in minimalist packaging that can sit openly on a bathroom shelf.

‘Why can’t we elevate the experience of being a woman and take care of our bodies in a way that is enjoyable rather than embarrassing?’ says Bosworth.
