# Microbiome-Centred Intimate Wellness Lines Lactomedi Continues to Expand in the US Market By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-06-19 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microbiomecentred-intimate-wellness References: [briefglance](https://briefglance.com/articles/k-beautys-new-frontier-microbiome-science-hits-us-retail-shelves)  [Lactomedi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intimate-deodorant-spray), a South Korean feminine care brand that focuses on microbiome-centred intimate wellness, has made its entry into American physical retail by launching its core product lineup across more than 4,000 [CVS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phd-feminine-health-products) locations nationwide. This marks a significant expansion from its prior online-only presence in the U.S. market. A key product in Lactomedi's microbiome-centred intimate wellness lineup is its bestselling Intimate Care Gel for Women, which utilizes LACTO-BVTC — a proprietary patented probiotic complex found throughout the product range. The offering is formulated to support natural pH balance and alleviate common issues such as itching, irritation, odor, and general discomfort by promoting a healthy intimate microbiome. The CVS launch also includes the Feminine Foam Wash for gentle cleansing and the Intimate Deodorant Spray available in three scent varieties, with all products drawing on the broader [K-Beauty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-kbeauty) tradition of preventative and science-driven wellness approaches.
