Why does it matter that a lubricant is glycerin free? Many water-based lubricants use glycerin or other sugar derivatives to make the liquid thicker and slicker. Some people prefer to avoid those ingredients in intimate products. Sliquid Naturals H2O takes a different route and uses plant cellulose as its thickening agent. The maker says the blend is designed to emulate the body's own natural lubrication. The ingredients list is short: purified water, plant cellulose from cotton, guar conditioners, potassium sorbate and citric acid.
Sliquid Naturals H2O, the original formula
Naturals H2O is Sliquid's original water-based personal lubricant, and the base on which the other water-based lubricants in the Naturals line are built. It is made with purified water and thickened with plant cellulose in place of glycerin. The formula contains no parabens and is 100% vegan. It is unflavored, unscented and non-staining, and the maker describes it as pH balanced.
The maker says it suits all types of toys and all sexual activity. Because it is water soluble, cleanup is easy. This is the 2 fl oz (59 ml) bottle.
Best for: Anyone who wants a plain, everyday lubricant with a short ingredients list and no scent, flavor, glycerin or parabens. It is a sound choice for use with toys of any material and for people who prefer simple formulas.
