Astroglide Lube Plus Libido is a water-based arousal gel utilizing Niacin (Vitamin B3) and Menthol to induce a localized tingling sensation. The formula is designed for rapid onset, typically within two minutes. It is glycerin-free, which reduces the risk of osmotic-related complications, and utilizes Lactic Acid to maintain the local pH balance.
The product is non-greasy and water-soluble for easy maintenance. However, the cooling agents like Menthol and Mentha Arvensis Herb Oil create a significant sensory response that may be interpreted as burning by users with high mucosal sensitivity. It is not recommended for use on broken or extremely thin skin.
The presence of Methylparaben and Propylparaben as preservatives should be considered by those seeking paraben-free options. Due to the nature of the active sensation agents, the duration of lubricity is shorter, requiring more frequent application than standard gels.
