Sylk Natural Lubricant: Kick Chemicals in Personal Care & Giveaway

Public Service Message for the ladies: There’s tons of chemicals in the products you use… down there.

Some of the most absorptive and sensitive tissue on women’s bodies exists is the loved v-j region, but many companies don’t disclose what they’re putting in products made for that area. A recent report even said that chemicals in feminine care products can increase the risk of breast cancer, reproductive problems, asthma and allergic reactions with cancer-causing chemicals and hormone disruptors. Scary, right? These risks are enough of a reason to make the switch to organic tampons & pads.

How about in the bedroom?

Conventional lubricating gels like K-Y include chemicals like methylparabens, which can cause endocrine disruption, breast cancer risk & allergic reactions. Don’t believe the product label’s claims about ‘pure’ or ‘gentle’ ingredients – read the ingredient list yourself.

Whether you need a little something extra to feel better ‘down there’ or want to add some excitement to the bedroom, ditch the dangerous chemicals. One solution? Sylk Natural Lubricant helps you without dangerous chemicals.

Sylk Natural Lubricant is free of silicones, petroleum derivatives, animal products & paragons found in competing brands. Plus, it’s made from the New Zealand kiwi vine extract in a fragrance-free formula with a natural vaginal pH. Sustainable, this product is made from renewable ingredients, water-based and safe for use with condoms.

Instead, check out Sylk’s ingredient list:
