Kindra is a company with a mission to empower women while they experience the hormonal changes that accompany menopause. The company specializes in plant-powered, estrogen-free products that aim to help women care for their bodies in a natural and safe way. We appreciate their gentle and holistic approach to women’s health and one of the reasons this product succeeded in making our #2 spot.
The Daily Vaginal Lotion is one of the wide variety of products they sell that focuses on women’s health. It is promoted as a lightweight, ultra-hydrating lotion to help soothe vaginal dryness, support low libido, and ease painful sex. It can also be applied up to 2 hours before intercourse to help with any discomfort that may occur as a result of vaginal dryness.
This product is manufactured in an FDA-registered manufacturing facility and undergoes third-party lab testing in the US. We like that it is free of any potential hormone-disrupting parabens and artificial fragrances that can lead to irritation. It is also certified cruelty-free and has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Is Kindra Daily Vaginal Lotion Effective?
In order to discern whether or not a product is effective, we first look at the ingredients. In the case of Kindra Daily Vaginal Lotion, it contains some promising ingredients, and others that we aren’t convinced are necessary.
We were pleased to see that this formula contains Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3 that can help to boost skin hydration and improve moisture retention. While Niacinamide is a star ingredient in its own right, especially when it comes to vaginal dryness, we were disappointed to see that Kindra missed out on an opportunity to include L-Arginine, the perfect partner for Niacinamide. Niacinamide, when combined with L-Arginine and applied to the vaginal area, can help improve circulation, sexual arousal, and vaginal dryness.
The other ingredients in this lotion include Vitamin E, Coconut Oil, Safflower Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, and Humectants which are all targeted to hydrate the skin. These are not ingredients that we deem necessary to ensure an effective women’s intimacy product, but nevertheless, they do have a variety of hydrating benefits that can aid long-lasting support for vaginal dryness. Kindra could have included ingredients such as Watermelon extract, Quinoa extract, and Sodium Lactate to help keep the skin barrier hydrated, and improve an optimal pH environment to help fight off bacteria that can lead to infection.
One of the downsides of Kindra Daily Vaginal Lotion is that it is not a water-based lubricant, rather it contains a variety of oils (Coconut, Safflower Seed, and Sunflower Seed). Water-based products are more advanced at locking in moisture and replenishing nutrients, as opposed to oil-based products. Additionally, water-based products are more suitable as lubricants in many ways, as they are safe to use with latex and generally feel more natural. Oil-based products can dissolve the ingredients in latex condoms, possibly leading to them breaking. They are also more prone to cause oil stains.
We were pleased to see that this formula did not contain any parabens, which could disrupt natural hormone function. We also like that there are no artificial fragrances that could lead to adverse skin reactions. However, there are some alcohol-based chemicals in this product that may lead to dryness, redness, or irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin.
One of the best indicators of how well a product will work is the feedback from people who have used it, so we turned to actual customer testimonials to see what people really thought about Kindra Daily Vaginal Lotion and whether they would recommend it or not. We found many good reviews from women who stated that this product really helped to relieve their vaginal dryness and that it was easy to use. However, there were some reviews that stated that this product caused a burning sensation, which could be due to the alcohol-based chemicals.
All in all, we believe that this product should be effective as a vaginal moisturizer. It has ingredients that have been found to deliver hydration, as well as good customer reviews. However, it is not a well-rounded product for intimacy. The oil-based formula makes it unsuitable for a lubricant that is safe to use with latex condoms, and it is missing some ingredients that could help promote pH balance and improved vaginal health. It does come with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you are not happy with the results of this product.
Is Kindra Daily Vaginal Lotion Safe?
In general, this product is marketed as natural and safe, and Kindra claims to be committed to maintaining the content and purity of their products. Their facility meets all regulation standards set forth by the FDA, and the product undergoes third-party testing, ensuring that strict quality control is maintained for all of their products. Kindra also states that all of their ingredients are non-toxic and safe to use.
That said, as a general rule, it is always recommended to speak to your doctor before using any new products if you are unsure of the ingredients, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, have any health conditions, or are taking other medications.

Summary
Kindra has the right idea by formulating their Daily Vaginal Lotion with hydrating ingredients to help tackle vaginal dryness. The company has good safety and quality controls in place, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. However, to improve this product, we would have added more of the key ingredients from our must-have list, such as L-Arginine, Watermelon extract, Quinoa extract, and Sodium Lactate. We would have also been happier to see a water-based product as opposed to Kindra’s oil-based product so that it is more compatible with latex. This would have elevated this product even higher in the rankings.
With its paraben-free and artificial fragrance-free formula, and mainly good reviews, we are confident that this product is a reasonably good one for helping relieve vaginal dryness and providing long-lasting hydration, but it isn’t the well-rounded intimacy product we were hoping for. We didn’t feel that it was close to our #1 pick, but it did deserve its place as our second choice.
