The water based lubricant market can usually be divided into water-based, silicone-based, oil-based, and mixed-based types according to its main component matrix. Among them, water-based and silicone-based lubricants occupy the mainstream position due to their unique advantages, meeting the preferences and usage scenarios of different consumers.
Water-based lubricants are popular among consumers due to their similar texture to human secretions, good compatibility (can be used with latex condoms and silicone toys), easy cleaning, and usually free of greasy ingredients. It is currently the most common type on the market. However, the formula design of water-based lubricants is also challenging. To ensure lubricity while enhancing durability, avoiding quick drying, achieving a refreshing and non-greasy skin feel, and ensuring mildness and non-irritation, it requires exquisite formula technology and high-quality raw materials.
Silicone-based lubricants are known for their extremely smooth skin feel, super durability (non-aqueous, not volatile or absorbed), and excellent waterproof performance, making them particularly suitable for scenarios requiring long-lasting lubrication or underwater use. However, silicone-based lubricants are usually more expensive and cannot be used with silicone toys (which may cause silicone to dissolve). High-quality silicone-based lubricants require the selection of high-quality silicone oil raw materials and precise control of the formula ratio to achieve ideal smoothness and skin feel while avoiding excessive greasiness.
Pingchuang Medical Group deeply understands the characteristics and market demand of water-based and silicone-based lubricants and includes a large number of high-quality water-based and silicone-based formula options in its over 2000 mature formula library. For water-based lubricants, Pingchuang Medical Group offers a variety of choices from basic to functional types, such as long-lasting moisturizing formulas with ingredients like sodium hyaluronate and aloe vera extracts; simulation types that mimic human natural secretions; mild types designed specifically for women with balanced pH values; and formulas that meet specific safety needs, such as free of glycerin and parabens (Paraben-free).
In terms of silicone-based lubricants, Pingchuang Medical offers a variety of options. These include pure silicone oil formulations for an ultimate silky smooth experience; silicone oil blended with other ingredients to ensure long-lasting lubrication while attempting to improve skin feel or add other functions; and lightweight silicone oil formulations that provide a relatively refreshing usage sensation. The research and development team continuously explores new silicone oil raw materials and blending technologies, striving to find the best balance between lubricity, durability, skin feel, and safety.
In addition to providing mature formulations, Pingchuang Medical's strong customization capabilities allow brand owners to fine-tune water-based or silicone-based formulations according to their own positioning. For example, adjusting viscosity to cater to different preferences; adding specific fragrances or flavors (using food-grade or medical-grade fragrances); introducing special sensory components such as heat or cold sensations; or developing vegan or cruelty-free formulations based on brand philosophy. Free sample services enable customers to confirm the actual effects of customized formulations before mass production.
Regardless of choosing water-based or silicone-based lubricants, Pingchuang Medical insists on using high-quality medical-grade raw materials, and produces in a ten-thousand-class clean room following GMP standards to ensure the safety, purity, and stability of the products. Comprehensive international certifications (ISO 13485, FDA 510K, CE) also provide a pass for global sales. A variety of packaging options can better match the characteristics and brand image of different types of lubricants.
For brand owners, finding an OEM manufacturer that can produce both high-quality water-based lubricants and excellent silicone-based lubricants with a rich selection of formulations means having a broader product line layout and stronger market adaptability. With its deep accumulation in both water-based and silicone-based mainstream types and diverse formulation capabilities.
