HIFAS-INTIMA GEL – Vaginal Moisturiser & Intimate Comfort Gel

A fast-absorbing external intimate moisturising gel formulated with Lion’s Mane extract, BioEcolia® prebiotic, aloe vera, hyaluronic acid and Centella asiatica to support hydration, comfort and the natural balance of the intimate area.

HIFAS-INTIMA GEL has been developed by Hifas da Terra, a Spanish biotechnology company with more than 25 years of experience in mushroom biotechnology, research, and developing premium health products.

The formula combines Herizumib® Lion’s Mane extract with the patented prebiotic BioEcolia®, together with carefully selected moisturising and soothing ingredients, including aloe vera, sodium hyaluronate, Centella asiatica, madecassoside and asiaticoside.

The manufacturer describes HIFAS-INTIMA GEL as a moisturiser and lubricant for the external vaginal and vulvar areas, which helps with intimate comfort, hydration, and the natural balance of the vaginal microbiome.

Who Is HIFAS-INTIMA GEL For?

HIFAS-INTIMA GEL may be particularly relevant for women experiencing intimate dryness or discomfort at different stages of life.

According to Hifas da Terra, it may be suitable for women who:

• Experience vaginal or vulvar dryness.
• Want additional intimate hydration during menopause or perimenopause.
• Experience dryness associated with hormonal changes such as postpartum or breastfeeding.
• Want an external moisturising lubricant to improve comfort during sexual intercourse when dryness is present.
• Experience local intimate discomfort such as itching, stinging or irritation and want to support hydration and barrier integrity.
• Want to support the natural balance of the intimate microbiome with a prebiotic-containing formula.
• Want an intimate moisturiser developed under dermatological and gynaecological supervision.
• Prefer an intimate-care product that is compatible with condoms, according to the manufacturer.

Persistent itching, pain, unusual discharge, odour, bleeding or suspected vaginal/urinary infection should be assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional.

Intimate Hydration & Microbiome Support

A healthy intimate area depends on adequate hydration, an intact barrier and the natural balance of the vaginal microbiota.

Hifas da Terra developed HIFAS-INTIMA GEL to combine moisturising ingredients with prebiotic support in a fast-absorbing external gel.

Herizumib® – Lion’s Mane Extract

The formula contains Herizumib®, Hifas da Terra’s Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) extract.

The manufacturer describes the Lion’s Mane extract in this formula as having moisturising and antioxidant properties and uses it as part of the product’s approach to supporting intimate hydration and comfort.

BioEcolia® Prebiotic

HIFAS-INTIMA GEL contains BioEcolia®, a patented alpha-glucan oligosaccharide prebiotic.

According to Hifas da Terra, BioEcolia® helps to:

• Support the balance of the intimate microbiome.
• Help maintain the natural barrier function.
• Support the integrity of the intimate area.

Hyaluronic Acid

The formula contains sodium hyaluronate, a form of hyaluronic acid that helps keep the vulvovaginal area moist and hydrated.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera juice is included as part of the moisturising and soothing ingredient blend.

Centella Asiatica, Madecassoside & Asiaticoside

The formula also contains Centella asiatica leaf extract, madecassoside and asiaticoside.

Hifas da Terra includes these ingredients in a formula that supports hydration, comfort, and the natural state of the intimate mucosa.

Designed for Intimate Comfort

According to the manufacturer, the combination of Lion’s Mane extract, BioEcolia®, aloe vera, hyaluronic acid and Centella asiatica is designed to help maintain the microbiota and support appropriate hydration and barrier integrity of the vulvovaginal area.

This makes HIFAS-INTIMA GEL particularly relevant during periods when intimate dryness may become more noticeable, including the following:

• Menopause
• Perimenopause
• Postpartum hormonal changes
• Breastfeeding
• Periods of stress
• Following antibiotic treatment
• When additional lubrication is desirable during sexual intercourse

Dermatologically & Gynaecologically Controlled

HIFAS-INTIMA GEL has been developed and tested under dermatological and gynaecological control.

Hifas da Terra reports that the gel demonstrated excellent skin tolerance and is designed for external use on the intimate area.

The manufacturer also confirms that the gel is compatible with condoms.

How to Use HIFAS-INTIMA GEL

Apply the gel gently with the fingertips to the external genital area.

The manufacturer recommends:

• 2 applications per day.
• Ideally apply one of the applications at night before bedtime.
• A minimum period of approximately 3 months is recommended by Hifas da Terra, although a healthcare professional may advise a different duration according to individual needs.

For external intimate use.

Can It Be Used During Menopause & Perimenopause?

Yes. Hifas da Terra specifically identifies menopause- and perimenopause-associated vaginal dryness and/or atrophy as situations in which women may use an intimate moisturiser such as HIFAS-INTIMA GEL.

Hormonal changes during these life stages can affect the hydration and comfort of the vulvovaginal area, making regular moisturising support particularly relevant.

Can It Be Used During Sexual Intercourse?

Hifas da Terra describes HIFAS-INTIMA GEL as both an intimate moisturiser and a lubricant.

It can therefore be used when dryness causes discomfort during sexual intercourse, and the manufacturer states that it is compatible with condoms.

Can It Be Combined with HIFAS-INTIMA Oral?

Yes. Hifas da Terra says that the external HIFAS-INTIMA GEL can be used together with its oral vaginal prebiotic and probiotic product, HIFAS-INTIMA Oral, when appropriate.

The gel is intended for external intimate care, whereas HIFAS-INTIMA Oral is a separate oral supplement designed to support inner intimate balance.

What Does the Research Say?

Hifas da Terra states that BioEcolia® is effective in supporting the balance of the microbiome and that HIFAS-INTIMA GEL is part of its research-led women’s health range.

However, the manufacturer's public HIFAS-INTIMA GEL product page does not provide sufficient details of a specific published clinical trial of the finished gel, such as participant numbers, journal publication or DOI.

For this reason, we do not describe HIFAS-INTIMA GEL as clinically proven to treat or prevent vaginal infections or any medical condition.

The product should be viewed as an external intimate moisturising and lubricating gel designed to support hydration, comfort, barrier integrity and microbiome balance.
