Shinncare's story

The story of Shinncare starts with a Belgian family and their passion for women's well-being.

The origin

The story of Shinncare begins with Dr. Dirk Smet, an experienced gynaecologist who has been dedicated to improving women's well-being for decades. During his practice, he regularly encountered the same intimate complaints, for which no adequate solution was available. This inspired him to develop his own product.

After extensive research and testing, Dr. Smet came up with the solution: the Intimate Oil Spray Comfort.

This innovative product offers an effective treatment for common intimate complaints and is the result of years of expertise and dedication.

“From my practice and experience, I knew exactly what complaints there were and what product was still missing”

- Dr. Dirk Smet

The beginnings of shinncare

When small-scale distribution within Dr. Smet's practice proved impossible, he decided to found the Shinncare brand with his son Karl-Filip


Shinncare was officially launched in 2021. The brand, with its only product at the time, the Intimate Oil Spray Comfort, quickly received positive feedback from users and colleagues alike. In 2022, the range was expanded to include products for pregnancy and post-partum.

“Our mission is to make Shinncare the trusted partner in intimate care for every woman.”

The team

In 2023, Aude joined the team as a marketing consultant. Her addition professionalized Shinncare and helped set the strategy for the coming years. In 2024, she became Karl-Filip's business partner to further shape Shinncare's direction together.

With the support of Dr. Elisabeth Smet, family member and also a gynaecologist, and the ongoing commitment of Dr. Dirk Smet, Shinncare remains committed to the everyday care of all women.

Our quality guarantee

At Shinncare, we guarantee the highest quality by using natural ingredients, dermatologically and gynaecologically tested formulas, and safe products that respect your microflora.

Shinncare opts for a sustainable business with short supply chains, recyclable packaging materials and formulas with a natural origin. In this way Shinncare tries to contribute to the well-being of people, animals and nature.

Shinncare's products have been extensively tested on human skin and the intimate area. In the process, the products were clinically evaluated for their suitability for humans and their effectiveness in relieving intimate discomfort such as irritation. Shinncare's range was found to be successful in both areas.

Shinncare's formulas contain no irritants or harmful substances and do not adversely affect the vulvar, perineal or overall microbiome. All products were extensively tested for various “good” microorganisms found in the vagina and on the vulva and body and found to have no negative impact on their growth. Shinncare respects the specific acidity of the (intimate) skin by working with formulations based on natural oils and adapted formulas.
