Zestica™ Moisture

Next Generation Fast and Lasting
Relief from Vaginal Dryness

Vaginal dryness is experienced by most women from time to time, particularly during and after Menopause, or when on medication. Zestica™ Moisture is the new, natural vaginal moisturising hydrogel that offers immediate and lasting comfort and leaves you feeling “natural” again.

Relief that is non-hormonal and contains
no paraffin or glycerin and leaves no messy discharge

Many vaginal products can cause irritation, discomfort or embarrassing discharge — Zestica™ Moisture is non-hormonal and does not contain paraffin or glycerin which may cause these reactions. A clear, non-sticky and easy to use Hydrogel in an easy to use applicator.

All ingredients in Zestica™ Moisture are fragrance free.

How It Works

Zestica™ Moisture replenishes the Hyaluronic Acid balance and much needed water to provide immediate relief and comfort.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring key component of vaginal fluid the body uses as a natural carrier of water to retain moisture.

5 consecutive days of use results in an accumulative affect that can last for days beyond last use.

Zestica™ Moisture is specially formulated utilizing two different lengths of HA molecules:
Shorter molecules of HA release water immediately for instant relief
Longer HA molecules gradually break down to deliver a second wave of moisture

It is a very light formulation designed to make you feel “natural” and comfortable again.

Zestica™ Moisture is clear, odourless, non-sticky and easy to use. Designed to work in harmony with your body.

Zestica™ Moisture contains the natural ingredient Hyaluronic Acid (HA) with a combination of different molecular weights to sustain its stability in the vaginal environment.

HA is a super-water absorbent with natural moisturisation functionality which makes it a fantastic lubricant with a well proven safety profile.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a Natural Substance

HA is a natural, high molecular weight polysaccharide (Figure). Its chemical structure is uniform throughout nature, across vertebrates and invertebrates, making it highly biocompatible and non-immunogenic. Ubiquitous HA is present in many tissues (epithelial, connective, neural) and fluids (vaginal, cervical, synovial, aqueous humour), and exhibits unusual physico-chemical characteristics because of its random coil structure, large size, and strong affinity for water. HA’s hydrophilic nature and unique rheological properties allow it to form solutions of high viscosity and elasticity that provide protective, space-filling, shock-absorbing, lubricating and moisturizing functions (maintenance of water balance). The macromolecule serves as a substrate for assembly and stabilization of proteoglycans; promotes cell movement; regulates cell function, differentiation, and development; scavenges free radicals; and participates in wound healing.

When and How To Use

5 consecutive days of use results in an accumulative affect that can last for days beyond last use.

To help combat dryness use Zestica™ Moisture daily for five days, then reduce usage to two or three times a week as required.

Cautions: Do not use if the end tab is broken off. Vaginal applicators are designed for single use only, reuse may result in infection. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.

FAQ

What is the Osmolality and pH of Zestica™ Moisture?

Zestica™ Moisture is iso-osmotic with the normal physiologic range (280-290 mOsm/kg) for fluids of the female reproductive tract, and the product is formulated to pH5 for optimal vaginal health in menopausal and post-menopausal women.

How should I store Zestica™ Moisture?

Zestica™ Moisture should be kept at room temperature, 5-30°C. Do not place in extreme temperatures such as in a fridge or directly exposed to sunlight.

What are the ingredients in Zestica™ Moisture?

The ingredients in Zestica™ Moisture are:

  • Sodium Hyaluronate (HA)
  • Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS)
  • Phenoxyethanol
  • Methylparaben

PBS balances the pH of Zestica™ Moisture with that of the body. The normal vaginal pH is acidic. Phenoxyethanol and Methylparaben are commonly used preservatives, present at very low levels.

Is the applicator recyclable?

The recyclable symbol (with a “4” in the middle) on the applicator shows that the applicator is made of a Low density polyethylene (LDPE). LDPE is a soft, flexible plastic. It is typically found in a variety of plastic bags including: bread bags, frozen food bags and plastic shopping bags. Though LDPE can be recycled, traditionally it has not been included in municipal recycling programs. However, more and more it is being added as an accepted plastic to Canada’s municipal recycling programs. There are no health concerns connected to LDPE.

Is Zestica™ Moisture made with any animal products?

Zestica™ Moisture is not made with any animal product.
