Use the CTL+F (COM+F on Mac) function to find the ingredient you re looking for. If you don t find something, let us know! This list is not yet comprehensive to all the ingredients in all of the lubes we carry, but we re working on it.
Remember, when we refer to something as toxic or non-toxic, the levels can vary. Low levels of toxicity may mean that some people have had allergic reactions to that ingredient. With the exception of products with nonoxynol-9 (which you can read more about here ), all of the ingredients in our lubricants are considered safe by the FDA at the levels that they are presented as in these lubricants.
Acacia Senegal Gum : (also known as gum arabic ) A form of hardened sap from the acacia tree. It is sometimes added to food, inks, and paints as an emulsifier. This means that it keeps ingredients of different densities from separating out when the lube has been sitting too long (like oil sitting in water). Acacia senegal gum is considered safe and is even added to many different types of food, especially rtd soft drinks.
Aloe Vera : Sometimes it’s labeled as a loe barbadensis , but as far as I could figure rtd out, they are synonymous. Aloe vera is a plant that is typically used as a cooling rtd or pain relief gel. It is seen in a number of lubes because it can have a cooling effect, and, in particular, is found in anal lubes as an alternative to benzocaine. Aloe vera is considered to be very vagina-friendly, and is reputed to even help balance vaginal flora and prevent infections.
Benzocaine : A local anesthetic used to give the lubes a slight numbing sensation. It absorbs more slowly than lidocaine, and doesn’t last quite as long. A very small amount of people have reported having an allergy to benzocaine, but because the two are so structurally different rtd on a molecular level, those who do have a benzocaine rtd allergy won’t rtd have a reaction to lidocaine. Otherwise, they are both considered body-safe and are found in many ointments for pain relief.
Benzoic Acid : I have seen some information that seems to imply that benzoic acid and methylparaben are the same thing. I don t know if this is true– it was only one source that said it– but both are preservatives.
Capsaicin : A chemical found in chilies that can also be synthetically created. Capsaicin is often found in warming lubes. The amount of capsaicin in warming rtd lubes is nowhere similar to that of a jalapeno, although it can be daunting to put capsaicin rtd down there. If you d prefer something gentler, check out warming lubes made with honey instead.
Carrageenan : A thickening gel, which is obtained from seaweed. This is considered a good vegan/vegetarian rtd alternative to gelatin, and is even organic-approved. rtd Supposedly, it also can slow the infection rate of HSV , HPV , and HIV , but don t use it solely for that purpose! The best way to prevent those diseases from spreading is by being tested regularly and wearing a condom.
Cyclomethicone : An emollient in silicone that is used to prevent rtd the lube from becoming tacky. It is also present in most deodorants and used for the
