Bona Dea Naturals is based out of Raleigh, North Carolina (USA) and uses contract manufacturers based in Arizona and New Mexico to formulate and bottle Bona Dea Naturals products.

The name Bona Dea Naturals is inspired by the ancient Roman Goddess Bona Dea, also known as the "Good Goddess." Worshipped exclusively by women, Bona Dea was revered as a powerful protector of women’s health, healing, and fertility. Deeply connected to the earth, herbal medicine, and natural wisdom, she embodies values such as purity, strength, wellness, and nurturing—principles that resonate deeply with our mission.

At Bona Dea Naturals, we honor her legacy by empowering women’s health through a thoughtfully curated selection of natural products created by women, for women. Our name reflects our commitment to holistic wellness, sustainable practices, and a supportive community rooted in feminine strength and healing.

I set out to curate the very best from ethically responsible, women-owned businesses that emphasize products that offer natural ingredients and nontraditional healing methods. While the majority of the products offered on Bona Dea Naturals are made in the US, it isn’t a requirement for the marketplace. Each product listing clearly denotes its country of manufacture.

Bona Dea Naturals Feminine Spray was formulated specifically to treat the symptoms of yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis, including itch, irritation, discharge, and odor. The bioactive compounds in my feminine spray (calendula, tea tree, palmarosa, orange, and lemongrass essential oils) all have anti-fungal and antibacterial properties, and they are especially good at killing the fungus and bacteria that are responsible for yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. Specifically, calendula has shown to outperform prescription drugs in killing BV in medical studies.

Absolutely! Many of my clients use Bona Dea Naturals Feminine Spray as a body deodorant spray just to keep things feeling fresh. For women experiencing irritation or dryness from hormonal changes during menstruation, perimenopause, or menopause, Bona Dea Naturals Feminine Spray can reduce inflammation and act as a moisturizer.

An overwhelming majority of my clients experience same-day relief from chronic itching, burning, discharge, odor, and pain stemming from yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis. (See the more than 8000 5-star reviews here)

Some options in application:

• You can spray directly onto the area of concern (typically the outer and inner labia and the opening of the vaginal canal).
• You can spray into your (freshly washed) hand and apply to the area. I personally prefer this method as you use less product and apply it exactly where you want it.
• You can spray onto a pantyliner.

A little goes a long way as this is a potent formula so start with 2-3 pumps of the spray nozzle (or a dime sized amount from the dropper); this will likely provide enough product to apply to the area of concern

This is a topical product meant to be applied to the outer areas in your private region. DO NOT INSERT or apply product internally.

Before use, conduct a skin patch test first to determine sensitivity (the underside of the arm is a good location). After testing has shown no negative side effects, 2-3 pumps of the spray nozzle is more than enough per application. You may use the product as needed, anytime you need relief from discomfort. Even with twice-daily use, the 2oz bottle can last 3 months or more.

While every person’s body is different and clients certainly report different experiences, many clients have reported immediate or same-day relief from itching and irritation. If your symptoms are more severe, it may take a few more days to get complete relief.

I understand the confusion over the label. I recently switched to a new manufacturer who insists this is FDA approved language for feminine deodorant sprays. However, my formula hasn't changed from what I created back in 2017 and it was originally and continues to be intended for discomfort and symptoms for vaginal yeast infections, including itch, irritation, and odor.
