Plant-Based Lubricant, Designed for Women

Playground is a new sexual wellness brand with a plant-based lubricant collection. The line includes four full-sensory personal lubricants designed to arouse the five senses and erogenous zones to amplify a woman’s mood, mind and libido.

Playground’s products use a water-based formula that is clean, vegan, pH-balanced and free of parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, mineral oil, propylene glycol, GMOs, gluten, sulfates, dyes and hormones. Each lubricant blends three adaptogens—ashwagandha, black cohosh and horny goat weed—with vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and bamboo extract to increase blood flow.

The lubricants cost $15 and are available in four varieties: Date Night features a champagne and vanilla scent, Mini Escape includes a coconut and sandalwood scent, After Hours features the scent of warm wood and Love Sesh is scent-free.

Intimate Care, Made Clean

For too long, intimate care has been an afterthought — something to hide in a drawer, not something to choose with the same care you give your skincare.

Playground was built on a simple idea: what goes in and on your body should be as clean and considered as anything else in your routine. Our lubricants are water-based, plant-derived, and pH-conscious, formulated without parabens, petrochemicals, mineral oil, propylene glycol, sulfates, dyes, and added hormones.

The result is a lineup made for real comfort — less friction, more ease, and a formula you can actually feel good about reaching for.

Why Choose a Plant-Based Lubricant

• Water-based formula — lightweight, easy to clean, no residue

• Plant-derived ingredients — including botanical extracts and plant-sourced glycerin

• Hyaluronic acid — a humectant that holds many times its weight in water for lasting hydration

• pH-conscious — formulated with intimate-area comfort in mind

• Vegan and cruelty-free

• Free from parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, mineral oil, propylene glycol, sulfates, dyes, and added hormones

• Fragrance-free options — Love Sesh and Free Love contain no fragrance

• Glycerin-free option — Free Love is formulated without glycerin

• Recyclable packaging — bottles and caps use 50% post-consumer recycled material and are 100% recyclable

Every bullet is a verified attribute, not a claim. "OB/GYN-conscious" and "adaptogen-powered pleasure support" stay out, unverifiable.

What's Inside in Lubricant Ingredients Explained

Hyaluronic Acid

Fermented Bamboo Extract

A plant-derived alternative to silicone, included to add a smooth, silky feel and reduce stickiness.

Vitamin E

A skin-conditioning vitamin included to support hydration and act as a skin protectant.

Plant-Sourced Glycerin

Playground uses an organic flax-seed-derived glycerin (in formulas other than Free Love) instead of petrochemical-derived glycerin, chosen for slip and a more natural feel.
