We experiment a lot as we transition to a more eco-friendly lifestyle, trying to find better alternatives to the traditional variety. Experimentation is great – but some things, like lube, are better researched than experimented with. Choosing a body-safe, natural and organic lube is key to ensuring you stay healthy and feel amazing.
The Best Natural Lube Options
Natural lube is a more ethical and healthier choice than traditional lube. Glycerin, glycols, and parabens are just a few of the questionable but common ingredients in regular lube that you won’t find in natural varieties. Plus, some natural options come in glass containers that you can easily reuse or recycle. With that said, here are the best natural and organic lube options available right now.
