Halle Berry Launches Intimacy Wellness Brand: "I feel better than I've ever felt"

Halle Berry is celebrating turning 60, and the Oscar-winning actress says she’s living her best life. On August 1, she posted a video from Fiji, where she shared that she feels better than ever–while promoting her intimate wellness product, Juicy Like a Peach. The brand is a vaginal dryness treatment created through her menopause wellness company, Respin, in partnership with Joylux. 

“I am in Fiji celebrating two things,” Berry says in the video. “My 60th birthday. I don’t know how that happened, but I thank God every day that it did.”

She went on to explain the benefits of her new brand. 

“But I’m also celebrating the launch of Juicy Like A Peach,” she says. “This is for all my menopausal ladies, going down that path of life, trying to hold on to their intimacy. Because that’s what makes us us. It’s a vital part of being a woman and there’s no reason that part of our lives should have to change in any way.”

Juicy Like a Peach is marketed as an FDA-cleared treatment for vaginal dryness. According to Joylux, the product uses HPMC-5 technology to create a breathable barrier designed to retain moisture, ease dryness and reduce discomfort during sex. 

"For decades, women have been expected to manage vaginal dryness with products that haven't meaningfully evolved," said Colette Courtion, founder and CEO of Joylux, in a statement. “When we discovered HPMC-5 through our partners in Sweden, we knew we had found something exceptional. Most vaginal moisturizers are simply incremental variations of the same formulas. Juicy Like a Peach is different, bringing women a scientifically proven technology that delivers a completely new approach to intimate hydration. We believe women need more options, not fewer, and Juicy Like a Peach represents another important tool for helping women care for their bodies on their own terms." 

The product made its debut in July and has since expanded into Ulta Beauty stores nationwide. For Berry, this new brand is part of a push to redefine post-menopause life for older women.

“I feel better than I’ve ever felt in my whole life,” Berry said. “There’s no reason that you should change in any way. You should be juicy like a peach.”
