TTC? Choose A Safe Lube. It's true. Some popular lubricants can negatively affect sperm movement. We're not naming names, but you can read the medical journals here and here. BioGenesis Fertility Gel Lubricant is different, backed by FDA clearance and verified by a qualified doctor of obstetrics and gynecology. Every aspect of our formula - paraben-free, water-based, with hydroxyethylcellulose, plus calcium and magnesium ions - was designed to support your journey to pregnancy. Made in the USA!

Buffering To Support pH Good Clean Love BioGenesis closely mimics your own fertile fluids. It works with your body to create both an optimal environment for conception and a comfortable intimate experience. It also utilizes a gentle and innovative biochemical process called buffering. BioGenesis adapts as higher pH sperm is introduced to help retain healthy vaginal pH levels while simultaneously supporting sperm health and movement. This means it will support sperm motility & viability without raising vaginal pH to harmful levels.

Hydroxy ethyl what...? BioGenesis features a blend of water and a science-lab sounding ingredient called hydroxyethylcellulose. It's natural, effective, plant-based, and hypoallergenic. More important for TTC couples, it is exactly what is recommended by our friends at the Mayo Clinic for fertility-friendly lubrication. We developed BioGenesis™ with the help of leading scientists to meet the high expectations of our customers. The formula uses natural ingredients and contains no petrochemicals, parabens, glycerin, or glycol. BioGenesis is also part of our Bio-Match® family of products - promoting conditions that match optimal vaginal pH and salt balance. This lubricant is FDA cleared, compatible with latex and polyisoprene condoms as well as sex toys and it will provide smooth, lasting lubrication.

Some popular vaginal lubricants have been shown to negatively affect sperm motility. We’re not naming names, but you can read the medical journals here and here. BioGenesis™ is different. Our product is specially formulated to support an optimal environment for fertility, a claim that is backed by FDA clearance and verified by a qualified doctor of obstetrics and gynecology.

• BioGenesis is a water based, hydroxyethylcellulose formula. That’s exactly what is recommend by doctors at the Mayo Clinic because that combination closely mimics a women’s natural moisture and does not inhibit the movement of sperm. Where many lubricants can slow sperm movement, BioGenesis supports all phases of fertility.
• Healthy vaginal pH is about 3.8 to 4.5. The pH of semen is usually 7.2 to 7.8. Our scientifically advanced BioGenesis is unique – the first fertility lubricant that uses what doctors call a “buffering action” so that the lubrication adapts its pH during intercourse, simultaneously maintaining a healthy vaginal pH while supporting sperm viability.
• Calcium and magnesium have long been known as critical to fertilization. We’ve added ions of both to BioGenesis to support the process of sperm movement and egg penetration that ultimately result in pregnancy. Combine those with premium ingredients and supporting lactic acid and you have a lubricant that enhances intimacy, reduces discomfort and Bio Matches your own fertile fluids to create an optimal environment for conception.

What We Don’t Use

• Petrochemicals: As the name suggests, petrochemicals are chemical ingredients derived from petroleum. Examples include butane, propylene, and methane. If the basic yuck factor doesn’t convince you to avoid these, recent studies from Johns Hopkins University have shown that petrochemicals can damage sensitive vaginal and rectal tissues. All Good Clean Love products are petrochemical-free.
• Parabens: A paraben is any of a group of compounds used as preservatives in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products and in the food industry. Examples include methylparaben, propyl paraben, and ethyl paraben. Parabens are often used as preservatives in personal care products. Unfortunately, studies have also shown that parabens appear in cancerous breast tissue and can disrupt natural hormonal function. All Good Clean Love products are paraben-free.
• Synthetic Glycerin: Also called “glycerine” and “glycerol,” glycerin is a colorless, sweet, viscous liquid formed as a byproduct in soap manufacturing. It can be manufactured synthetically or extracted from vegetables, and it is used as an emollient and laxative, and for making explosives and antifreeze. We do use natural glycerin sparingly, and only in products that are not intended for internal use. We never use synthetic glycerin, because it is often formulated with petrochemicals and can damage the cellular tissue that’s designed to protect you from harmful STIs, like Bacterial Vaginosis.

So, What Is In It?

Our natural lubricant formulation comes from years of study, help from our Advisory Council, and, we’ll admit, some trial and error. While we’re proud of our current formulation, we’re always dedicated to improving.

Our personal lubricants contain:

• Organic Aloe Leaf Juice: Aloe barbadensis is an incredibly healing, soothing, and moisturizing plant with a silky texture that perfectly mimics the naturally occurring moisture women naturally have inside them. Did you know? Organic aloe typically comes with thousands of harmful bacteria colonies. That’s why we’re committed to choosing a low micro variety and then pasteurizing it to ensure that no harmful bacteria reaches you.
• Natural Flavors: We use organically compliant natural flavors, which means we nix the chemicals common in many synthetic flavors. That means you’re only getting flavors with naturally derived ingredients.
• Lactic Acid: It’s made from simple carbohydrates and helps maintain an optimal pH level. We ensure that we’re sourcing the highest quality, pharmaceutical-grade lactic acid that is not made from GMO corn. Since the majority of lactic acid made in the U.S. is made with GMO corn, we source GMO-free lactic acid from Europe. Did you know? The presence of lactic acid in a product also helps kill off harmful bacteria and helps us keep our added preservative level as low as possible.
• Xanthan Gum: Xanthan gum is a natural plant-based thickener and stabilizer that comes from fermenting sugar. There is no such thing as organic xanthan gum, but we use the cleanest sources possible. Xanthan gum helps thicken aloe’s natural runniness so that you have something that won’t fall apart when it comes out of the tube.
• Agar Agar: This is a jelly-like substance obtained from algae. We use it as an added thickener to turn our lubricant into a gel that’s a delight to hold and feel.
• Potassium Sorbate and Sodium Benzoate: We use a minimal amount of a carefully considered preservative system. Both ingredients are food-grade preservatives approved by Whole Foods and are rated on EWG’s Skin Deep Database.
