Good for lasting moisture, unlike whats sold t=for women with chemicals that burn more. Get 100% only.

I did get some relief from this and it helped as a lubricant for sex but I stopped using it after I heard it could actually be quite bad for you if absorbed through the skin over a long period of time. I now use organic rosehip oil which is messy but works well and doesn't irritate

I use it when I have itching or dryness.
