    About Momotaro Apotheca:

    Unable to find a safe, effective over-the-counter product that wasn’t full of harsh chemicals or offensive language that often did more harm than healing, co-founders Lindsay Wynn and Taylor Samuelsen set out to create simple solutions for vulvovaginal self care. The consequence of that curiosity is an accessible and discrete suite of products gentle enough to be used on every body, every day. Learn more about Momotaro Apotheca’s story here.

    The word “momo” is peach in Japanese and “taro” is a root crop from the Pacific Islands, however, these words have their own personal colloquial connotation. While Momotaro is also the name of an important character from Japanese folklore, that story has no connection to the brand.
