What is carrageenan doing in a lubricant? Carrageenan is an extract of red seaweed. It forms a smooth, slippery gel in water, which is why Sliquid calls it one of nature's most effective natural lubricants and uses it in Naturals Sea. The formula starts from Sliquid's Naturals H2O water-based lubricant and adds three seaweed extracts: carrageenan, wakame and nori. The result is a water-soluble lubricant that is unflavored, unscented and non-staining.

Frequently asked questions
How is Naturals Sea different from Naturals Silver?
Sea is water-based and water soluble, with seaweed extracts; it rinses off with water and does not stain. Silver is a pure silicone lubricant that is waterproof and longer lasting but may stain fabric.
Does it smell or taste of seaweed?
Sliquid lists it as unflavored and unscented. The seaweed extracts are there for texture, not fragrance. Carrageenan, wakame and nori are blended into the water-based formula, and the result is a neutral lubricant with no added taste or smell.
Can I use it with condoms and toys?
The maker lists it as latex, rubber and plastic friendly. It is water-based, which is the standard choice for silicone, TPE and TPR toys. Rinse toys with warm water after use.
Does it offer any health protection?
No such claim is made here. Naturals Sea is a personal lubricant. It does not replace condoms or any other form of protection. Use it for comfort and glide only.
