• Natural anti-bacterial extract for safer sex

Lab studies on the brain cells of mammals also suggest that methylisothiazolinone may be neurotoxic. Most of the lubes from Intimate Organics have it. It’s why I gave all the samples that they sent me to review to someone else.

Moral of this story, no matter how good it looks ALWAYS check the ingredients.
