Perimenopause and menopause can shift vaginal pH and surface microbiome, making comfort, freshness, and gentle cleansing feel more “must-have” than “nice-to-have.” Yin-5 Renew is Antevorta’s proprietary, TCM-inspired botanical core for sensitive skin intimate care, designed without heavy fragrance or harsh surfactants and calibrated for pH-balanced herbal intimate wash for vaginal health. You’ll find it across three everyday formats: Hydrating Intimate Cleansing Gel, Refreshing Intimate Spray, and Feminine Wipes, so you can choose what fits your routine.
What Is Yin-5 Renew, and Why Does It Matter?
At Antevorta our mission is to combine the best of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern science to support women through the physical changes of perimenopause and menopause. Our proprietary formula, Yin-5 Renew, is at the heart of that mission.
Yin-5 Renew is inspired by a time-tested herbal remedy known as Wu Wei Xiao Du Yin (WWXDY), a formulation that's been trusted for centuries to cool inflammation, reduce swelling, and support skin clarity. Traditionally, WWXDY has been used both internally and externally to address infection, redness, and other discomforts associated with the skin and mucous membranes. We’ve drawn on its classic five-herb foundation and reimagined it as a modern topical botanical complex, formulated to support vaginal comfort, pH balance, and microbiome health.
Meet the Traditional Formula Behind Yin-5 Renew: Wu Wei Xiao Du Yin
WWXDY is a classic TCM formula first recorded during the Qing Dynasty, consisting of five core herbs:
- Honeysuckle (Jin Yin Hua)
- Dandelion (Pu Gong Ying)
- Wild Chrysanthemum (Ye Ju Hua)
- Chinese Wild Violet (Zi Hua Di Ding)
- Semiaquilegia root (Tian Kui Zi)
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these herbs were used in harmony to help clear “heat and toxicity”, language used to describe symptoms like irritation, swelling, or minor infection. It was commonly applied to skin conditions and inflammatory responses, making it a fitting foundation for soothing intimate skin.
Yin-5 Renew is a modern evolution of this time-honored formula, designed to meet the needs of today’s women, especially during the menopause transition, when vaginal skin becomes more sensitive, and pH changes can affect comfort, moisture, and odor.
Backed by Science: What the Research Shows
Research shows WWXDY has broad antibacterial and anti-inflammatory potential.
Recent pharmacological studies have confirmed that the five-herb blend in WWXDY may help suppress common bacteria (like Staphylococcus aureus) and reduce markers of inflammation, offering a natural defense for irritated or inflamed skin.
One 2022 research review protocol published in Medicine (Baltimore) outlined plans for a systematic analysis of WWXDY’s effects on wound infections. While it focused on internal applications, the key takeaway is this: WWXDY’s traditional use in both topical and internal care has sparked serious modern interest for its antibacterial and skin-soothing qualities.
Additional studies have shown that WWXDY’s plant compounds may influence inflammation at the cellular level, targeting biological pathways like the NLRP3 inflammasome, which is linked to inflammatory diseases. While not tested specifically in vaginal care, these findings reinforce the potential of this botanical blend to calm irritated skin and support balance.
Why Menopause Demands a Smarter Approach to Intimate Care
During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen levels decline, often leading to:
- Dryness and irritation of the vulva and vaginal area
- Shifts in vaginal pH (which can rise, making the area more prone to imbalance)
- Changes to the local microbiome, increasing sensitivity and odor
Standard soaps or fragranced body washes often throw this balance further off. That’s why we created Yin-5 Renew, to deliver the wisdom of herbal synergy in a pH-balanced, dermatologist- and gynecologist-informed formula for everyday use.
