Silicone-based water based lubricant is popular in the high-end adult product market and bathing scenarios due to its "water insolubility, extreme smoothness, and waterproof" characteristics. However, it also brings many controversies: what if it can't be washed off? Could residue cause inflammation? In fact, the "unwashable" nature of silicone-based lubricants reflects their core advantage. Understanding its physical properties and mastering cleaning techniques can greatly enhance user loyalty to high-end products.
The main component of silicone-based lubricants is polydimethylsiloxane. Due to its hydrophobic nature, simple rinsing with water is indeed limited in effectiveness. However, this also means it won’t fail during use due to sweat or bathing, and its lubrication lasts much longer than water-based products. The correct cleaning method is to use mild body wash or soapy water; thanks to the emulsifying effect on oils, silicone substances can be easily removed. From a brand marketing perspective, this is an excellent “differentiation point”: for users seeking ultimate sensation, long-lasting endurance, and underwater experience, silicone-based products are an irreplaceable high-value choice.
For businesses customizing silicone-based lubricants, the purity of the formula is crucial. Medical-grade silicone oil formulas can form a velvety protective film on the skin surface, providing both lubrication and skincare. Brands should choose manufacturers with medical-grade production environments and FDA and CE certifications to ensure the product meets ultimate tactile experience while fully complying with pH value and biocompatibility standards. With such high-tech products, brands can effectively avoid the cutthroat competition in the cheap water based lubricant market and open up a profitable high-end segment.
