Laska’s Opinion: I have always liked Shunga products since they are a Canadian brand made in Montreal. However the ingredient list is a personal choice as only a handful of products are organic if that is important to you. The price of these items are reasonable and something worth trying if budget and okay with some their synthetic ingredients. Your body your choice.
