The morning ritual women aren't keeping to themselves anymore

Collapsible content

What you'll actually notice

The dryness. The itching. The moment you avoid your partner's eyes because you already know what tonight is going to look like.

I know that feeling. I lived it in my 30s when early menopause hit before I was ready for it. My V tissues felt like a stranger's. Intimacy felt impossible. And I was a board-certified OB/GYN - I knew every prescription available and none of them felt like the right answer.

That is why I formulated Julva. I needed something that worked at the tissue level, with ingredients I trusted, without a prescription.

Here is what changes with daily use:

• Tissue that has become dry, thin, and fragile begins to feel more hydrated and resilient. Most women notice a difference in the first few weeks. The improvement builds over time with consistent use.

• The itching and irritation that make you dread basic daily movement starts to quiet down.

• Intimacy that felt uncomfortable or impossible starts to feel possible again - and then good again.

92.8% of women reported relief within 30 days.*

This is not about turning back the clock. It is about giving your tissue what it needs to do what it was designed to do - stay supple, comfortable, and alive.

*Individual results may vary.

My Vagina Is So Dry That Sex Is Painful

What's inside and why it matters

  • Alpine Rose Stem Cells (Rhododendron Ferrugineum Leaf Cell Culture Extract)
  • Coconut Oil
  • Vitamin E Tocopherol
  • Butyrospermum parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit
  • Emu Oil
  • Water
  • Glycerin
  • Cetearyl Alcohol
  • Undecyl Alcohol (anti-microbial)

Why these ingredients, in plain English:

DHEA - the active ingredient - is a naturally occurring hormone precursor that declines significantly as we age. When applied topically to vulvar tissue, it provides the local hormonal signal that keeps tissue hydrated, elastic, and resilient. This is not systemic hormone therapy. It works locally, right where you apply it. No prescription required.

Emu oil has smaller particles than almost any other oil, which means it penetrates deeper into the skin and carries the other ingredients with it rather than sitting on the surface. It is ethically sourced and has been used in skincare for decades for exactly this reason.

Alpine rose stem cells are extracted from the leaves of the alpine rose, which grows at altitude in the Swiss Alps - an environment that requires extraordinary cellular resilience. These stem cells support tissue vitality and help minimize the visible signs of tissue aging, including thinning, loss of firmness, and sensitivity.

Shea butter supports the skin barrier - the layer that determines how well tissue holds moisture and how resistant it is to irritation.

Coconut oil and Vitamin E provide additional skin-barrier support and antioxidant protection for delicate tissue.

The formula contains glycerin as a humectant to draw moisture into the tissue. Unlike some lubricants, Julva is formulated for daily topical application to vulvar skin - not internal use - where glycerin in appropriate concentrations supports rather than disrupts the local environment.

No parabens. No phthalates. No synthetic fragrance. No toxins.

Estrogen-free. No prescription required.

The science, in plain English

Julva is a daily moisturizer, not an on-demand lubricant. That distinction matters, because it is the reason it works differently from everything else most women have tried.

Daily application - about 0.5 mls to the vulvar area, clitoris and surrounding skin - allows DHEA to build up in the local tissue over time.

The emu oil carries the active ingredients deep into the tissue rather than leaving them on the surface. The result is not just temporary comfort. It is tissue that becomes more resilient, more hydrated, and more functional with each passing week.

Apply it in the morning or evening, whichever fits your routine. Most women find morning works best - it becomes as automatic as face moisturizer.

For the first 30 days, use it every day. Once you are noticing consistent improvement, you can move to a maintenance schedule of five times per week.

Julva can also be used 20 minutes before intimacy for additional in-the-moment support. It needs time to absorb - apply it then step away and let it work.

Wash your hands after applying to avoid transferring it to others, including children or pets.

You can apply with your fingers or with tissue paper - whatever is easiest for you.

FAQS

Why shouldn’t I twist the Julva® 30-day cap?

This cap is made to protect the applicator and has to be pulled off. If you twist the cap you risk unscrewing the applicator and possibly spilling the contents.

What will I receive when I order your feminine vulvar rejuvenating cream, Julva?

You’ll receive a 1-ounce tube of Julva.

What is the amount of Julva I should use? How long do I use it?

Suggested Use: Apply a small amount (approximately ½ ml ) daily as part of your feminine care routine. For best results, use consistently as part of your daily feminine wellness regimen.

Some women will need less or more cream as time goes on.

After the initial month of use, and once you're experience improvements from daily use, you can go into a "maintenance" mode. Maintenance dosing is typically 5 times per week. You should continue at this maintenance amount. Note that if you discontinue use of the product you will return to your baseline.

You may notice a warming and/or tingling sensation at first, which should not last longer than 10 to 20 minutes (it's similar sensation to a lip-plumper).

If the warming and/or tingling sensation lasts for longer than 20 minutes, discontinue use of Julva for 72 hours or until symptoms subside. Restart Julva at 1/2 the amount. If symptoms re-occur, discontinue use.

How should I apply Julva?

You can safely apply Julva with your fingers or with tissue paper and wipe. Wash your hands afterward.

The cream will be well absorbed within 20 minutes.

If you have children in your house that could use your hand towel, please keep one separate for you only so they are not directly exposed to the cream. While Julva is very safe, it does contain DHEA and this is for you and not them! (This is the same advice I give to any man or woman using any hormone creams). It is safe for your partner however!

Where should I apply Julva?

Apply it to your vulvar area from your clitoris, along the labia, to the rectum.

These tissues need the most nourishment. You can also apply to the delicate skin of the urethra.

Julva is safe to apply to skin anywhere on your body. Before first use, it is advisable to test Julva on your inner arm for 24-48 hrs to make sure you don't have a sensitivity to it. Few people will, but it is always a good idea to test for sensitivities with anything you put on your skin.

If irritation does occur, discontinue use of Julva for 72 hours or until symptoms subside. Retest at ½ the amount. If symptoms re-occur, discontinue use. As with any moisturizing product, individual responses may vary. If you experience any unusual changes after using the product, discontinue use and consult with your healthcare provider.

Does it matter when I apply it (morning or night?) Can I apply it prior to intercourse?

Apply it daily at any time of the day that works for you. Many women do well applying it first thing in the morning.

Yes, it can be applied before intercourse. It is not harmful in any way to your partner.

Note that Julva is not a spermicide and does not provide protection against pregnancy. We are not aware of any issues relating to the use of Julva with condoms; however, Julva contains natural emollients, so please refer to your condom packaging to determine if it has any warnings relating to the use of oil-based lubricants.

How long should my tube of Julva last?

Your tube of Julva should last 6-8 weeks depending on the amount you use.

How do I know when my tube has expired?

Expiration dates are stamped on Julva packaging. Keep your Julva cream in a cool, dry place under 40° C (104° F).

Can I place Julva inside the vaginal canal?

No, Julva is for external topical application only, around the vulvar tissue, and is not intended to be inserted into the vagina. It is, however, safe for all of your skin.

I am already taking a sublingual DHEA daily...should I discontinue that while I'm using the Julva cream?

The DHEA in Julva is absorbed locally and should not affect the DHEA you are taking sublingually.

We recommend you consult with your primary care medical doctor regarding any concerns they may have given the specifics surrounding your DHEA levels and sublingual dosage. They may wish to run a DHEA-S test to determine your DHEA baseline level prior to starting Julva ).

You can also order the blood test yourself for your own reference or to share with a medical professional or other practitioners, at Ulta Lab Tests

Do I need to test my DHEA levels while taking Julva?

No, not at all. Julva is not intended to increase serum levels of DHEA. As mentioned above, DHEA levels naturally decline and many people are interested in increasing their blood serum levels. Your DHEA-S level is an interesting reference that you may wish to track over time.

Can Julva be used during my period? Can using Julva cause a delay in my menstrual cycle onset?

Yes, Julva can be used during menstruation. Although, we have not received any feedback relating to shifts in cycles while using Julva. Should you have specific concerns, please discuss with your primary care medical doctor.

Who shouldn’t use Julva?

  • If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult with your doctor before using this product.
  • If you are taking Tamoxifen, please consult with your prescribing physician before using Julva.
  • If you have a vaginal infection, consult with your doctor before using this product.
  • If you have had or are being treated for breast cancer, consult with your doctor before using this product.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Discontinue use if you experience discomfort or irritation.

Can Julva be used by men?

Julva is very safe and contains wonderful nourishing, soothing, and moisturizing ingredients for the genital skin for both men and women.

It has been specifically designed to be gentle to vulvar skin but that does not mean that it can only be used there exclusively. The cream is well absorbed thoroughly and locally into your skin within 20 minutes.

Should I stop using any of my current medication before using Julva?

We do not recommend discontinuing any medication without your doctor’s guidance.

Can I use Julva if I have Lichen Sclerosus?

Julva feminine cream contains nourishing ingredients that support delicate vulvar tissue. For specific medical conditions, please consult with your healthcare provider.

What if I have a bad reaction?

Should you experience a bad reaction, please discontinue use of the product.

Julva was developed using the highest principles and healthiest natural ingredients. For that reason, as well as testing and feedback from beta users as well as recent clients, we do not anticipate people will experience any problems using the product; but as with any skin-related product, there is always a small percentage of people who may experience a reaction.

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee within 60 days.

Try Julva for 60 days. If you experience any kind of unpleasant reaction, please contact us at team@drannacabeca.com for a return authorization.

    Complete relief

    I've tried a number of OTC products for the dryness and incessant itching after menopause. I read about Julva and at first had my doubts at the cost. I finally decided to give months supply a try. After the first week I noticed vast improvement. As the 30 day supply was coming to an end I decided to subscribe at the 60 day level. For me it is well worth the cost. Virtually no more dryness or itching.

    They have an excellent customer service team too. Don't hesitate to give it a try.

    Conditions tissues

    I received this cream as a sample with my maca order.

    I think it makes my vaginal area moisturized. I am in menopause and deal with vaginal dryness, itchy, even underwear can rub making things uncomfortable. This cream keeps the vaginal area from getting dry- similar to lotion for your skin.
