What does carrageenan do in a lubricant? Carrageenan is an extract of seaweed. In a lubricant it acts as a natural source of slip, and the maker describes it as one of the most effective natural lubricants. Naturals Sea combines carrageenan with wakame and nori extracts and blends them into Sliquid's Naturals H2O water-based formula. The result is a slick, water-soluble lubricant that rinses away easily and carries no added flavor or fragrance.
Naturals Sea: water-based glide with seaweed extracts
Naturals Sea is a water-based, water-soluble personal lubricant from Sliquid, supplied in an 8.5 fl oz bottle. It takes the maker's Naturals H2O formula and adds three seaweed extracts: carrageenan, wakame and nori. Carrageenan contributes its own natural slip, so the lubricant feels slick and smooth without being heavy. The formula is free of glycerin and parabens and is unflavored and unscented. The maker lists it as vegan friendly, pH balanced, non-staining, and friendly to latex, rubber and plastic.
Best for: For people who like a simple water-based lubricant and want one built around plant and seaweed extracts. It works for partnered sex, solo use and toys, and the 8.5 fl oz bottle suits regular use at home.
