Is silicone harmful to my body?
No. We only use the highest quality, purest silicones that are not harmful to the human body. Silicone molecules are larger than skin pores.

The body then breaks down the personal lubricant as part of the natural process to regenerate the vagina’s mucous membranes.

This is why we recommend using silicone-based products that do not contain any preservatives in these instances, for example our pjur med PREMIUM glide. Its pure ingredients make it the ideal choice for even highly sensitive skin. The personal lubricant creates a protective film on the skin that won’t block your pores, leaving your skin feeling silky smooth and delivering extra-long-lasting lubrication.
