Women’s intimate care range joins A+D Ointment, Solarcaine and FDS brands in the company’s portfolio.
August 1, 2024

Editor-in-Chief
WellSpring Consumer Healthcare, a marketer of OTC and personal care brands sold in the US and Canada, has acquired vH essentials, an intimate care line that includes supplements and topical products.
Financial terms of the transaction with Wisconsin Pharmacal Company were not disclosed.
The vH essentials are distributed through brick-and-mortar retailers and e-commerce channels such as Amazon.
WellSpring— a portfolio company of private equity firm Avista Healthcare Partners—also owns intimate care spray brand FDS.
“We are thrilled with the addition of vH essentials. WellSpring’s women’s health franchise is now anchored by two scaled high-growth brands, vH essentials and FDS, with exciting and compelling opportunities to accelerate growth in retail and e-commerce channels. vH essentials aligns with our core mission to improve the health and wellness of our consumers, and this acquisition helps to unlock the next leg of growth for WellSpring,” said Chris Brown, CEO of WellSpring, which is based in in Sarasota, FL.
Fred Duchin, chairman of WellSpring and a strategic executive of Avista, called the acquisition “highly synergistic and a logical strategic fit” within the WellSpring portfolio.
WellSpring’s portfolio focuses on the therapeutic skincare, digestive remedies and women’s health categories. This acquisition represents WellSpring’s second add-on acquisition. It acquired A+D and Solarcaine from Bayer AG in April 2023.
The WellSpring also owns Bactine (germ-focused skincare) and remedies for motion sickness and more.
