Sliquid Oceanics Natural Water-Based Intimate Lubricant – 8.5oz

Sliquid Oceanics is a natural water-based lube made with organic aloe and seaweed extracts in place of glycerin and parabens. It feels silky and close to natural lubrication, washes away easily and works with latex condoms. This is the 8.5 oz bottle, a good size if you use lube often or want one bottle for sex, toys and solo play.

What's in it

Sliquid starts with organic aloe leaf juice instead of water, then thickens it with plant gums and seaweeds rather than synthetic polymers. Carrageenan, a seaweed extract, gives the glide its slippery, cushioned feel, and nori and wakame are added alongside it. The rest of the list is short and recognisable: organic agar, guar gum, hibiscus, flax, green tea and sunflower seed extracts, with potassium sorbate and citric acid to keep it fresh. There's no glycerin, no parabens and nothing petroleum-based.

How it feels

Expect a smooth, natural slip that feels close to your own wetness, with a little more body than very thin, watery lubes. It's water-soluble, so it can dry down during a long session; rather than reaching for a lot more, add a few drops of water or a little extra lube to bring the glide back. It washes off skin and sheets easily and doesn't stain.

With condoms and toys

Sliquid lists Oceanics as safe with latex and plastic, which covers latex condoms and hard plastic toys. Water-based lubes are also the usual pick for silicone toys, since silicone lube can damage them. Sliquid describes the formula as hypoallergenic and fully vegan.

Who it suits

People who prefer a short, plant-based ingredient list often choose Sliquid for exactly that reason, and the lack of glycerin and parabens makes Oceanics a common pick for anyone who reacts to those ingredients in other lubes. It works for vaginal sex, toy play and solo use. For anal play, a thicker gel will last longer between applications.
