Why do some people avoid glycerin and parabens in lubricant? It comes down to preference and to how individual skin reacts. Some people find that certain common lubricant ingredients do not agree with them, and they look for formulas that leave those out. ID Free is made for that buyer. It contains no glycerin, parabens, benzoic acid, propylene glycol, petrochemicals or alcohol. The maker says it still has long-lasting slip and a natural feel. It is water-based, latex safe and non-staining.
