If H2O and Silver Made an Organic Love Child
If you're tired of your regular water-based lubricant getting sticky and needing constant reapplication, if you're sensitive and want a glycerin, paraben free, and natural lubricant, or if you just want to try something new and different then Sliquid Organics Silk is a great long-lasting organic hybrid lubricant with the benefits of a silicone lube with out the clean up hassles.

Sliquid Organics Silk is a hybrid lube comparable to Silk or Sliquid's own Silk. Organics Silk is a water-based lubricant blended with 12% silicone and emollients to add the longevity of a silicone lubricant to a water-based lubricant. This makes it a hybrid lube. Though it is listed as a water-based.
Ingredients
The ingredient list is fairly close to Sliquid Silk (though it contains more ingredients for the 'botanical infusion). Sliquid Organics Silk ingredients: Purified Water, Plant Cellulose (from Cotton), Aloe Barbadensis, Natural Tocopherols (Vitamin E), Extracts of Hibiscus, Flax, Alfalfa, Green Tea & Sunflower Seed, Isopropyl Palmitate, Polysorbate 20, Dimethicone, Emollient Ester, Potassium Sorbate.
Plant Cellulose is used as a natural thickener for the lubricant.
Aloe Barbanensis and Hibiscus are both natural extracts from plants that are used to heal, moisturize, and soothe skin.
Green Tea was added as an anti-inflammatory.
Flax & Alfalfa were added as healing emollients, they restore elasticity to skin.
Sunflower Seed is used as a cleaning and calming tonic.
Isopropyl Palmitate is a thickening agent derived from palm oil.
Potassium Sorbate is a natural preservative. It's put in the lubricant to keep it from growing bacteria and fungus and also extends the shelf-life of the product.
Dimethicone is a non-toxic medical grade silicone which extends the slippery-ness of the lubricant and reduces the need to reapply.
Texture & Consistency
This lubricant looks a lot like lotion, but not as thick as lotion. But it's opaque and white like most lotions are and has a light herbal scent to it. If you wanted to pass this off as a lotion by putting it in a different bottle you could probably do that! Silk is a medium for me. It's a little thinner than a liquid hand soap a little thicker than dish soap like Dawn. When putting a small, dime sized amount on my hand it takes a while to spread out flat and definitely isn't going to run off my hand anytime soon. It's very slippery and doesn't need to be reapplied too often. A little bit of this goes a long way!
Preformance & Usage
This lubricant is super awesome! It can be used for masturbation and solo play, vaginal, and anal penetration. (Keep in mind that this is a HYBRID lubricant and if you want to use it with silicone toys you should do a patch test first.) This could be used in place of a massage oil or cream. It absorbs into skin nicely and could even be okay for spot treating dry-spots. There is a slight herbal/natural smell to the lubricant. I only noticed the smell while it was in the bottle. after it's out of the bottle I can't smell it and it seems to leave a slight hint of aloe (think after sun gel, but a really light scent.) I noticed that in some reviews the reviewers have said it doesn't compare to how silky Liquid Silk feels. I haven't ever used Liquid Silk so I can't say I'm disappointed with how it feels on my skin. I definitely think this feels silky. It doesn't get tacky/sticky or feel greasy or oily after usage and you definitely don't have to wash this off after use. It is water soluble so I wouldn't recommend using it in the shower. It doesn't have the staying power that a completely silicone lube has, but it's going to last longer than a water-based.
Packaging
Sliquid Organic Silks is available in two sizes on Edenfantasys - 4.2 fl oz. or 8.5 fl oz. They come in recyclable plastic bottles with pop-up caps which makes the lubricant easily dispensable. I could imagine with lubricant on your hands it may be hard to dispense more if you need it! Sliquid's online shop also offers sampler packs of their organic, natural, and ride lubricants if you're not sure what kind of lubricant you're looking for. You can find sample packs here. The bottle is pretty discreet (I received the 8.5 oz to review). There's no naked women on the bottle or anything. The most it says to give off that it's for sex is "natural lubricating silk", which isn't the biggest indicator. This could easily blend in with other lotions on a bathroom counter or dresser and not be noticed as a sex product unless someone picked it up to read the whole product.
Everything Else
This is a hybrid lubricant, I can't stress that enough. Test it out on your silicone and silicone composite toys before using it ALL over them and ruining them. Sliquid Organics Silk is made with natural and organic ingredients, is vegan & cruelty free, water-based and water soluble, hypoallergenic, nonstaining, glycerin-, paraben-, and petroleum-free, and comes in recyclable packaging.

TY for the review, and going over the ingredients and their purposes!
-
I think I might have to try this one. I've been put off by Sliquid products before because they tend to be a little too 'gel' in their consistency for my taste. This one looks more like a lotion, like Liquid Silk does.
-
Good job on the review.
-
Thank you SO MUCH for telling me that this was a hybrid lube. Since Eden has it listed as Water Based, and I was planning to use it with my silicone toys. GRR. I'll be getting the regular Sliquid Organics, versus the silk.

Thanks for the review!
