Tenga Lotions
The Tenga Brand is from Japan and their Masturbators are some of the highest quality on the market and they also have three lubricants - below are the details and ingredients of their Lubricants which they call Lotions.
TENGA Lotion Regular Ingredients
Water
Glycerin - is a sugar alcohol and humectant used to retain moisture, provide a slippery cushion, and prevent the lube from drying out quickly. While highly effective at keeping things slick, it can cause vaginal irritation or disrupt the microbiome for sensitive users
Sodium Polyacrylate - acts as a super-absorbent thickening agent and emulsifier. It absorbs water and expands to create a slippery, viscous, and long-lasting gel-like texture. It is also the main ingredient in powdered, water-activated "nuru" or concentrated lubricants
Hydroxyethylcellulose - (HEC) is a plant-derived gelling and thickening agent. Derived from cellulose (wood pulp), it creates a smooth, slippery texture, keeps the formula from being too runny, and is generally considered safe and non-irritating for intimate use
Alcohol - in personal lubricants can refer to two very different types of ingredients: sugar alcohols used for moisture, and traditional alcohols used as preservatives or sensation enhancers
Polysorbate 80 - is a synthetic surfactant and emulsifier used to bond water- and oil-based ingredients together. It prevents formulas from separating, improves spreadability, and creates a smooth, slick, non-sticky texture
Sorbitan Laurate - acts as an emulsifier and surfactant. It helps blend water-based and oil-based ingredients so they don't separate, creating a smooth, consistent, and easy-to-spread texture. It is also highly valued for being gentle and reducing the potential for skin irritation
Disodium EDTA - acts as a chelating agent and stabilizer. It binds to trace metals—like iron, calcium, or magnesium—found naturally in water, preventing them from degrading the lubricant's texture, smell, and shelf life
Phenoxyethanol - is a common, synthetic preservative used to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, yeast, and mold. It extends the product's shelf life and ensures that the lube remains safe to use
Methylparaben - is a synthetic preservative. Its primary purpose is to extend shelf life by preventing the growth of harmful bacteria, mold, and yeast
Fragrance - refers to synthetic or natural scents added to make the natural odor of other ingredients or to create a more sensory experience.

Propylene Glycol -is a synthetic petrochemical used as a solvent, humectant (moisturizer), and preservative. It creates a smooth, slick texture and keeps the formula from drying out quickly
Sodium Polyacrylate - acts as a super-absorbent thickening agent and emulsifier. It absorbs water and expands to create a slippery, viscous, and long-lasting gel-like texture. It is also the main ingredient in powdered, water-activated "nuru" or concentrated lubricants
PEG-9M - is a synthetic polymer added as a thickening and lubricating agent. It gives the lubricant a smooth, slippery texture, improves its spreadability, and helps it adhere to the skin
Phenoxyethanol - is a common, synthetic preservative used to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, yeast, and mold. It extends the product's shelf life and ensures that the lube remains safe to use
Methylparaben - is a synthetic preservative. Its primary purpose is to extend shelf life by preventing the growth of harmful bacteria, mold, and yeast
