UPDATED FEB 2018 & JUNE 2023

The Sylk Lubricant availability hasn't always been steady. This popular lubricant went off our shelves in 2016 and then came back in 2018 after an ownership change. There was no formula change, but we can now confirm that the vegetable glycerin is free from any palm oil derivatives. Another ownership change in 2023 has seen supply in Australia temporarily halted while the new owners get manufacturing back up and running. Sylk lubricant will stay listed on our store as Out Of Stock until we can get stock again.

When Sylk lube was gone, we sourced alternatives that were just as safe to use and were also suited to the sensitivity of the skin and the pH balance of a woman's vagina, which is extremely important for everyone, but in particular for those suffering from UTI's, PCOS, menopause and countless other issues.

Personal lubricant can be used for all manner of things. For some women, it is needed to insert tampons or a menstrual cup, for others, it's needed when having sex with condoms, for some, especially those close to or going through menopause, a good quality lubricant is required as a necessity for any sexual contact. They can even be used to stop chafing during exercise.

YES Lubricant is the first brand we introduced to replace Sylk. It is made from 96% organic ingredients and as a water based lubricant, it's condom, menstrual cup and toy safe.  It is pH matched to the body and has no smell or taste.

No matter who you are and what you’re up to, by choosing YES Lubricant, you can be certain that you’re using one of the safest and natural products on the market. Organic skin care just isn’t for the delicate skin around the eyes and on the face, YES Lubricant is made from 96% organic ingredients and is certified in the UK where it is manufactured.

It is made from Water, Aloe Vera*, Flax Extract*, Guar Gum*, Locust Bean Gum*, Xantham Gum, Sodium Chloride, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid and  Sodium Benzoate. Those ingredients marked with * are organic ingredients. This blend is free from all fragrance and essential oils.

It comes out of the tube a little runnier than other lubricants, but just needs a moment in the air to thicken to the perfect consistency. It is the only organic lubricant we've been able to find that's made in larger tubes. Purchase as a 50ml, 100ml or 150ml tube. You can even buy a factory packed sample sachet to sample or to discreetly carry in your purse with a condom. YES also make a pH balanced intimate wash.

Is Sylk Lubricant coming back?

We hope so, but at this stage we actually don't know. We were told earlier this year that there has been an ownership change and have no further news at this stage.

What are the alternatives to Sylk Lubricant?

While Sylk lubricant availability is poor, there are plenty of alternatives. It's important to know that there are two main types of lubricant, water based lubricant and oil based lubricant.

Sylk is a water based lubricant. If you are using condoms or sex toys, then you need to continue to use a water based lubricant. YES Lubricant have both an oil based and a water based lubricant available. We have linked the water based version in the SHOP THIS ARTICLE section of this blog post for you.

Olive & Bee is an oil based lubricant and is not a suitable direct swap for Sylk. The only direct swap we have in store at the moment is the YES WB lubricant. The OB is oil based and shouldn't be substituted for Sylk.
