Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is horopito and how does it work against thrush?

A: Horopito (Pseudowintera colorata) is a NZ native plant whose active compound polygodial has demonstrated antifungal activity against Candida albicans — the most common cause of vaginal thrush. Clinical research has shown polygodial can disrupt the cell membrane of Candida organisms, reducing their growth and virulence. Kolorex harnesses this traditional Māori medicinal herb in a modern topical cream format.

Q: How is Kolorex Vaginal Care Cream used?

A: Apply a small amount of cream to the affected vaginal and vulval area as directed on the product label. Ensure the skin is clean before application. For best results, use consistently as directed. If symptoms persist or worsen after 7 days of use, consult your pharmacist or doctor as other causes of vaginal irritation may need investigation.

Q: Can Kolorex Vaginal Care Cream be used during pregnancy?

A: Consult your midwife or doctor before using any new vaginal product during pregnancy, including natural herbal preparations. While horopito-based products are considered gentle, vaginal treatments during pregnancy should always be used under medical guidance. Our pharmacist can advise on safe options for vaginal thrush management during pregnancy.

Q: Can I use Kolorex Vaginal Cream alongside the Kolorex Vaginal Wash?

A: Yes — Kolorex offers a complementary range of vaginal care products including the pH-balanced wash and cream. Using the wash for gentle cleansing alongside the cream for targeted treatment provides a comprehensive approach to vaginal health maintenance. Both products are pH-balanced to support the natural vaginal microbiome.
