NATURAL INTIMATE LUBRICANT glycerin-free with organic seaweed

YESforLOV is a French brand, and therefore, all our cosmetic products are manufactured in France according to very strict specifications on manufacturing practices.

The development of our seaweed lubricant takes place in Finistère Brittany, in partnership with a laboratory that specialises in hand harvested seaweed extraction, evaporation, and condensation.
We are committed to producing high-quality products to meet your intimate needs as effectively as possible with the utmost respect for your skin and mucous membranes. .

YES! The YESforLOV glycerin-free natural lube has been tested under gynaecological control and on recon-structed mucous membranes.

No undesirable effects have been reported to date.  

This intimate natural lube has been formulated with a unique complex consisting of 4 different organic sea-weeds: Wakame, Carrageenan, black Goemon, and Dulse. Let these four unique and powerful seaweeds help you to experience comfort and well-being through their long-lasting glide and perfectly creamy texture.

Coupled with Aloe Vera, seaweed significantly moisturises your mucosa while greatly soothing irritations and protecting your mucous membranes against aggressors (discomfort, stress, irritation, cellular aging, and even certain viruses). That being said, its HBV inhibitory effect remains to be proven, it can only be hypothesised. 

According to the ISO 16128, this intimate lube contains 99.49% ingredients from a natural origin, and of those, 63.20% are of a biological origin (excluding water).

Its non-irritating formula contains no glycerine, silicone, parabens, allergens, mineral oils, GMOs, or hormones. All preservatives used to inhibit the development of microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) are natural and validated by COSMOS and organic labels.

The YESforLOV seaweed lube takes into account the fundamental fact that it has a direct impact on the cellular health of the vaginal mucosa: osmolarity.

It’s important to know the osmolarity of your intimate lubricant because the cells of the vaginal mucosa are constantly maintaining a balance between the water pressure contained inside the cell and the environment that surrounds it (and therefore your intimate gel).

With a hyper-osmotic intimate lube, the cells of the vaginal membrane will dry out and dilute the lubricant, causing mucosa dehydration, which leads to irritation and increased susceptibility to bacterial infections.

On the other hand, with a hyo-osmotic lube, the cells will try to capture the water contained in the lubricant to rehydrate the tissue, but if it’s too hypo-osmotic, it may cause those cells to burst and die.

With a hyper-osmotic intimate lube, the cells of the vaginal membrane will dry out and dilute the lubricant, causing mucosa dehydration, which leads to irritation and increased susceptibility to bacterial infections. Hypo-osmolar and hyper-osmotic lubricant gels are suspected to increase the risk of HIV and STI transmission and slow down sperm migration and survival.

As a reminder, the perfect osmolarity for sperm survival is about 360 mOsm/kg. The best personal lube would therefore be iso-osmotic, which means that it would have an osmotic pressure equal to that of the vaginal mucosa, and thefore the same level of hydration as the body’s cells. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that intimate lube manufacturers have an osmolarity of at least 32 mOsm/kg and not exceed 380 mOsm/kg to avoid any risk of damaging the vaginal epithelium. Unfortunately, the most well-known lubricant gel brands on the market are often between 2000 to 8000 mOsm/kg while the WHO accepts a maximum of 1200 mOsm/kg.

According to clinical tests conducted by independent laboratories, the YESforLOV natural seaweed lube is isosmotic (160 mOsm/kg), and therefore does not damage the vaginal epithelium and protects the cells from osmotic stress that can create vaginal dryness and discomfort.

This natural YESforLOV lubricant with organic seaweed respects the physiological pH of your mucous mem-branes. This means that it has a pH close to that of the intimate area and will not disturb your vaginal flora, which would run the risk of making you experience dysbiosis.

The natural glycerin-free lube preserves the acidity of the vagina and maintains the right balance of vaginal microbiota.  

Depending on your menstrual cycle, the pH changes. During the non-fertile period, the vagina pH is rather acidic (3.5-4.5) and during ovulation, it becomes slightly more alkaline and neutral.

The exact pH of the last batch of our production is 4.2.

The vaginal microbiota results from a relatively unstable balance, which can be compromised by several factors including stress, fatigue, and medications.  

It is important to mention that according to many infectious disease specialists, it is difficult to be able to prove that the pH of an intimate hygiene product has an impact on the vaginal pH because the vaginal cavity has its own acidity maintenance system.

That being said, we always recommend avoiding lubricants with an alkaline pH above 8.

Do the majority of intimate lubricants irritate, sting, or burn you? Do they cause itching and discomfort? You might be allergic to glycerin and glycerin derivatives used in the manufacturing of most intimate lubricants.

YESforLOV, the French brand for intimate and erotic cosmetics is leading the natural sexual revolution and has finally formulated the first French lubricant made without glycerin, propylene glycol, propanediol, or other glycerin derivatives. Normally, glycerin-based lubricants are well tolerated by the vaginal mucosa, but in some cases, this cosmetic active ingredient can dehydrate, irritate, and feed candida’s that trigger mycotic episodes… but only if it is at a concentration greater than 20%.

Yes! Glycerin and all its derivatives are suspected to cause mycoses in women. At the same time, they are also suspected to damage mucosa cells because glycols can have a very strong and very negative impact on the osmolarity of intimate lubricants and therefore on the health of your intimate mucous membranes.

All YESforLOV water and glycerine-based lubricants are undergoing a clinical study to evaluate the ability of the intimate lubricants to induce a cytotoxic effect on the vaginal mucus, and thus allow us to take into account the cell morality rate and the products irritability.

At the same time, antimicrobial activity, mycosis risk assessment, and the relevance of each claim made on our products are defined by bio-methodical measures done through clinical testes which demonstrate the effectiveness of each of our formulas.

The YESforLOV glycerine-free lube is formulated with natural and organic ingredients. It contains no endocrine disrupters, controversial ingredients, or cosmetic active ingredients that could prevent fertilisation.

This lubricant is not a contraceptive with the function of destroying sperm, reducing their mobility, or promoting pregnancy.

Its pH is physiological and slightly acidic, close to that the vulva.  

For women looking to become mothers! You can find lubricants with higher pH levels to promote sperm motility like our Comfort & Performance Lubricant with a pH of 7. According to our research, the normal pH level of fuselage is between 7.2 and 7.8.

This glycerine-free lubricating gel is not considered hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It contains no oestro-gen or oestradiol, but nevertheless, actively participates in restoring and maintaining the mucosa to relieve chronic intimate dryness.

If you suffer from vulvar or vaginal dryness, do not neglect erotic foreplay, and make the most of this moment of sharing. For the record, arousal is the most important factor when it comes to natural vaginal lubrication.

If the problem is persistent, do not hesitate to consult a gynaecologist who can direct you to a more appropriate solution.

No scientific study has shown any particular risk for pregnant women and their fetuses when using intimate cosmetic products. The international cosmetic regulations do not define specific measures that are different from those applicable to all consumers.
