Just to clarify, other ingredients are water-soluble

Hello, Zink.
Were you able to find an affordable policy that works for you? Looking for the same, would appreciate your advice -
Hi Derya, thank you, I did. Most that I found a quite large and are OTC, making the project prohibitively expensive. But I’m also talking to a manufacturer (who reached out after seeing this forum) tomorrow, so we will see.

Thanks Doreen,
I’m actually working with a naturopathic doctor and the product based on solid published research. Unlike vaginal deodorants the suppositories I am trying to produce actually help to balance vaginal flora. Unfortunately I am having troubles finding a small lab that would add suppository production to their existing facility which would consist of suppository rack and a sealing press that I can purchase myself. I hope somebody around here can give me any pointers. -
Thanks for your input, I have obtained clarification before asking for help here. Quote is below. I would really appreciate help if you can provide it.
And yes, there are more cosmetic suppositories out there (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Norforms-Deodorant-Suppositories-Tropical-Splash-12-Ct/12443615?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222227010445928&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=40754415752&wl4=pla-78606536072&wl5=9031934&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=12443615&wl13=&veh=sem#about-item)Not that I think it is a good product, but since you seem to be concerned about the legality.
Here is a quote from the email:
“suppositories as being drugs or cosmetics depending on the associated claims. If the products are for cleansing, deodorizing, and external moisturizing only, then they would be classified as cosmetics.”

Yes. Similar to these:
https://www.amazon.com/Tea-Tree-Therapy-Vaginal-Suppositories/dp/B01EK0J8A8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1I would do OTC but the ingredients are not monographed

Unfortunately many cosmetic products are marketed with unsubstantiated drug claims. Unless they are “curing cancer” FDA just don’t have time to follow up.
Marketing aside, do you suppose these are actually dead or are they taking a legal risk?

If you check amazon, hundreds of water based probiotic sprays there. Here is one of them: https://www.amazon.com/LiviaOne-Topical-Spray-Organic-Probiotics/dp/B00UNS8GOG/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1499275042&sr=8-3&keywords=probiotic%2Bspray&th=1

Hi @MarkBroussard
If you scroll after the doctor’s opinion there are also 10 other doctors who quoted on the same topic as well as 9 different articles cited.
I’d love to read the study you are quoting, do you happen to have a source handy for this data point “Not all women have issues with using oils in the vaginal area, but approximately 50% do get infections from using oil-based products”?
I assume that it’s a different source that the article you pointed out, since it only says that petrolium jelly users had “Candida” detected, not that they had a candida overgrowth. -
Late to comment (re: oil in vaginal area) but would like to add my thoughts & politely disagree that oil does not belong to vagina/genitals.
Here is where I come from:
1) As a vagina owner, I tried multiple products that are oil based and worked great
2) Here are some Dr. Opinions:

3) Here is an article from pubmed:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24503350Would be interested to hear how the argument against oils in/around vagina is substantiated.
