Glycerin can trigger yeast infections in women prone to them. Never use lubricants with propylene glycol or glycerin, as they contribute to high osmolality. High-osmolality lubricants dry out and damage cells, making tissues more susceptible to infections. Glycerin is used to prolong glide but leaves a sticky feeling once the lubricant dries.

Parabens, fragrances, dyes, PEG, and propylene glycol—are known irritants for delicate feminine tissues. These ingredients in lubricants can cause itching, burning, and even allergic reactions.

Fragrances/Perfumes, along with preservatives, are some of the most irritating ingredients for the skin.

Many organic/natural cosmetic certification systems prohibit these ingredients.

Don’t forget that some ingredients applied to the skin can enter the bloodstream. The mucous membranes of the vagina absorb substances even more effectively. This is why Ёska makes its lubricants from pure natural raw materials. We use certified organic ingredients to make your love natural and safe.
