Sutil / Hathor Lubricants
Sutil / Hathor Lubricants are made in Victoria, BC Canada which is my hometown. The owner is a wonderful woman who designed these lubricants focused on natural ingredients. Over the years the whole collection of lubricants have helped women throughout the changes within the vaginal area of a woman’s life span. Therefore I highly recommend this brand as it is focused on women by a women and also made in Canada. This brand is more expensive but you pay for these amazing natural ingredients. All products are approved by Health Canada.
Below are all the ingredients they use.
Aqua (water)
Propanediol (Zamea, botanical source) - a natural, skin-friendly, preservative-boosting alternative to petroleum-based glycols for formulators who desire versatile and innovative cosmetic ingredients. With its skin-friendly performance, including no irritation, enhanced moisturization and excellent aesthetics.
Hyaluronic Acid (Botanical source) is a naturally occurring substance in the body that plays a crucial role in retaining moisture, promoting skin health, and supporting joint function.
Nelumbo Nucifera Root Extract (Lotus Root) - This root extract is generally well tolerated by most skin types including dry, normal, combination, oily and even sensitive skin because it is mild and water based. Those with very oily or acne-prone skin often appreciate that it delivers light hydration without a greasy feel, while its calming nature can ease the look of temporary redness in reactive skin. No major concerns have been flagged for any specific skin type. The ingredient is plant derived with no animal by-products or animal testing required for its production, so it aligns with vegan and vegetarian preferences.
Oat Beta Glucan is a natural polysaccharide derived from oats, known for its powerful soothing, hydrating, and skin barrier-repairing properties
Gluconolactone is plant base - a polyhydroxy acid that helps exfoliate, hydrate, and improve the appearance of aging skin (costs more than other polyhydroxy acids)
Sodium Benzoate is a preservative to keep product long lasting against mold.
Epimedium Sagittatum (Horny Goat Weed) Extract is a perennial herb used in traditional Chinese medicine for its potential aphrodisiac and health benefits.
Panax Ginseng Root Extract is grown in northeast China, Korea and Siberia. Panax Ginseng may present health benefits for improved brain function, improve erectile dysfunction, boost immune function, and help increase energy levels while fighting fatigue and tiredness, among many others.
Zizyphus Jujuba Fruit Extract is primarily celebrated for its skin conditioning properties. This is the extract from a fruit similar to a date grown in Asia. This multifaceted ingredient not only helps in hydrating and soothing the skin but also plays a part in improving skin texture and maintaining its elasticity. (if used in large amounts can lower blood sugar levels - therefore please check with doctor to safely use if issues with blood sugar levels.)
Certified Bio-Based Vegetable Propylene Glycol - Propylene Glycol is petroleum based whereas Vegetable and Certified Bio-Based is designed with high quality vegetable oils.
Lactobacillus Ferment - Natural anti-microbial agent with broad spectrum preservation that belongs to the lactic acid bacteria family. Lactobacillus is capable of restricting the growth of other microorganisms by acidifying its environment. It also produces novel antimicrobial peptides, known as bacteriocins, that are capable of providing broad spectrum antimicrobial protection
Acanthopanax Senticosus (Siberian Ginseng) - a herb which focuses on enhancing stamina and reducing stress.
Hydroxyethylcellulose (plant-sourced) is a gelling and / or thickening agent from plant base cellusose.

Laska - My Opinion: I love them all as the level of ingredients sourced for these Lubricants are amazing. I suggest always sampling all lubricants in the inner wrist for any allergies. The Luxe is a lighter formula for a mild lubricant consistency whereas the Rich formula is thicker and a fantastic Anal Lubricant. The Rich formula with the use of Horny Goat Weed and the Jujube Fruit Extract is nice for women experiencing dryness due to Menopause and changes within the vaginal area. If you have blood pressure issues please consult your doctor regarding the Jujube Extract or use very little to see if any blood pressure issues. But then you should always use very little for your first time and very little is a dime size or less. I personally have issues with Citric Acid as a preservative to keep products lasting longer as I have very delicate skin and with the use of use Sodium Benzoate does not cause red patches on my skin. As for the three flavoured Lubricants - the Mint is my personal favourite as I use for Oral Sex as the Mint is a natural flavouring and can add that extra level of fun during Oral. My last note on these Lubricants is that the price reflects the high level of ingredients used in making these products.
