Grounded in rigorous research and authentic community insight, Her Balance supports vaginal health through compassionate care and culturally resonate understanding.
Black Girl Vitamins has introduced Her Balance, a vaginal probiotic created specifically with the needs of Black women in mind. This innovative product tackles the unique challenges found within the vaginal microbiome of Black women and fills an important gap in the wellness market. It delivers a thoughtful, science-backed approach that supports both reproductive health and overall well-being.
The brand acknowledges that Black women’s health has often been overlooked, especially in areas related to vaginal wellness. These topics are still considered taboo for many, which has contributed to limited product options and limited conversations. Anna Palomino, Head of Product Development at Black Girl Vitamins, shared that Her Balance was intentionally crafted to change that narrative by blending scientific research with real voices from the community. The goal is a product that meets women exactly where they are.
The creation of Her Balance followed a four-stage process shaped by extensive research, community insight, and open dialogue. Scientists and medical experts led evidence-based studies showing that vaginal microbiome composition varies across ethnicities. Research confirms that Black women are more likely to have microbial profiles associated with imbalance, yet most existing products ignore these differences.
Black Girl Vitamins took their findings a step further by initiating community conversations with Black women over 30 in Chicago. Women openly discussed pH balance, sexual health, and self-care. Many expressed a strong desire for a product that recognized their experiences and supported their specific needs.
This was followed by deeper data collection through a vaginal health survey completed by more than 3,300 Black women. The results were eye-opening.
Eighty percent of respondents acknowledged differences in vaginal health across ethnicities. Half stated that topics related to vaginal wellness were rarely discussed in their households growing up. Another eighty percent said they feel more comfortable discussing these issues with healthcare providers than with family or friends.
Black Girl Vitamins also hosted a webinar led by medical advisor Dr. Standifer Barrett. It served as a judgment free space where more than one thousand participants could ask questions and learn more about vaginal wellness. These conversations and insights reinforced the need for accessible, culturally aware health education.
Her Balance is ultimately a tool for empowerment. By merging advanced science with cultural understanding and honest community engagement, it gives Black women access to a product tailored specifically for their long and short term needs. It represents a commitment to closing health gaps and creating safe, informed, and supportive wellness experiences.
Her Balance is now available on the Black Girl Vitamins website and through select online retailers. More information about the brand and its products can be found at www.blackgirlvitamins.co.
