Early versions of lubricants like K-Y were designed for insertion of medical instrumentation. And the current generation of personal lubricants have been designed primarily with men's pleasure in mind; women's needs are secondary.

Our team of scientists wanted to take a completely different approach. Unlike other major brands, Carrageenan personal lubricant was developed with natural, water-based ingredients that offer a safe and healthy alternative for women. We focus first on women's health and second on pleasure for both partners.

The primary ingredient in Carrageenan natural personal lubricant is carrageenan, an extract from a rich marine algae that is one of the oldest surviving sea plants on earth. This ingredient has extraordinary thickening abilities and has long been used in food and cosmetic products.

In the bottle, Carrageenan is a rich gel that dispenses easily and stays where you put it. As it warms to body temperature, it changes from a gel to a moisture-rich lubricant, a unique physical benefit that scientists refer to as "thixotropic."

While research continues into silicone's safety, you don't have to worry about using Carrageenan -- it contains no silicone, petroleum-based glycol or other harsh chemicals. Water-based Carrageenan contains carrageenan and other ingredients that are non-irritating, safe, effective (and fun!) for everyday use.
