It includes cleansing wipes, a serum, and a cleanser.But gynecologists, including Dr. Jennifer Gunter, took issue with the ad, saying it is both harmful and nonsensical.The vagina, Gunter explained, is inside the body, so "external use" doesn't make sense. What's more, she said, you should avoid cleaning your vagina because it's a "self-cleaning oven"Vagisil subsequently shut down its comments section on Instagram. <h2>The products were originally marketed to be used inside the vagina, which can cause yeast infections </h2>According to <a href="https://twitter.com/ecitoglu/status/1358337919036002306">an Instagram comment by Vagisil</a>, the products are meant to be used inside the vagina "so period funk and bikini itch don't get in your way."Vagisil said in an Instagram comment under one of their posts advertising the products that they were meant to be used on the "external vagina," which is not a medical term. The vagina refers to the muscular <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/womens-health/in-depth/vagina/art-20046562#:~:text=The%20vagina%20is%20a%20closed,in%20a%20sexually%20transmitted%20infection.">canal at the center of the vulva.</a>While gentle cleansers and water can be used to clean the vulva (clitoris, inner, and outer labia), they should not be used inside the vaginal canal. Gynecologists like Gunter <a href="https://twitter.com/DrJenGunter/status/1358451879575887873">voiced their concern on Twitter,</a> as studies show soap, cleansers, and even water are never intended to go inside the vagina, as they <a href="https://www.insider.com/gynecologist-why-you-should-use-facial-cleanser-on-your-vulva-2021-1">can cause yeast infections</a> and other vaginal health problems."Hi <a href="https://twitter.com/vagisil">@vagisil</a> every study shows intravaginal cleaning - even with water - is damaging to the ecosystem. The vagina is like a self-cleaning oven. Your products are for the vulva. Do you not know the difference?" <a href="https://twitter.com/DrJenGunter/status/1358451879575887873">Gunter tweeted.</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CK7IzcuhO0f/">Vagisil responded to the social media criticism</a> on February 6 after turning off comments on Instagram, with a statement that read: "All-Day Fresh Wash is an all-over body wash, that is safe, gentle, and pH-balanced for sensitive vulvar area skin."Vagisil did not respond to Insider's request for comment at the time this article was written.

"It's mind blowing that we got to sell our business to another B Corp that values <keyword id="49089" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Sustainability">sustainability</keyword>," Sustain Natural cofounder and CEO Meika Hollender told Business Insider.

Landesberg told Business Insider that he had been a fan of Hollender's for a while, and was pleased with how the partnership ultimately shook out given the similar missions and certifications of their businesses (both are certified B Corporations). "Who you can exit to has changed and that was exciting," Hollender said of the deal. "They can sell our product to their customers because they are our customers and we were going to go after them anyway."Landesberg's company, which sells eco-friendly cleaning, home, and personal products as part of a subscription model, currently partners with Sustain Natural competitors Seventh Generation and Kora. Hollender's father, Jeffrey, was the<a href="https://my.pitchbook.com/profile/125172-01P/person/profile#general-info"> cofounder and CEO of Seventh Generation</a> before <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreyhollender/">starting Sustain Naturals in 2013</a> with Meika."Beyond the incredible assortment and products Sustain has, we look up to Meika and the mission of Sustain," Landesberg told Business Insider. "We benefit from having the experience that Meika brings in and actually getting stuff done in a way that's pretty unusual."Although Hollender will be joining Landesberg and team in Grove Collaborative's San Francisco headquarters, she said Sustain Natural had to "move away" from a significant portion of its 15-person team, but would not confirm how many, if any, were joining her at Grove Collaborative. The brand will act be a subsidiary of Grove Collaborative moving forward, so primary functions like customer service and acquisition will fall to the startup's 150-person team in Portland, Oregon.
