Good Clean Love Almost Naked Organic Personal Lubricant

1. Ingredients & materials 40% of the rating 3 of 5

   Seven ingredients, mostly aloe juice, with no glycerin, paraben, silicone or spermicide, but the “natural flavor” is described only as plant-derived lemon and vanilla and the lactic acid is called a proprietary blend.

2. Protection 15% of the rating 4 of 5

   FDA cleared it for use with latex, polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms and the maker states pH 4.0 to 4.4 and 250 to 400 mOsm/kg, though the top of that range is above WHO’s 380 ideal and the numbers are the maker’s.

3. Independent testing 20% of the rating 4 of 5

   A 2012 NIH-funded lab study measured an earlier aloe formula at 269 mmol/kg and found it kept tissue viable, and a consumer screen found no organic fluorine in the current one, but no one has published today’s pH or osmolality.

4. Trust 10% of the rating 3 of 5

   We found no recall, Prop 65 notice or lawsuit, but Mamavation reports a Prop 65 aloe warning we could not see on the maker’s page, and the maker’s “safe to ingest” line sits against Mamavation’s advice not to swallow it.

5. Value 15% of the rating 4 of 5

   About $4.25 an ounce ($16.99 for 4 fl oz), about the same as Aloe Cadabra’s 2.5 oz tube.

• Independent Magee-Womens Research Institute and University of Pittsburgh (Dezzutti et al., funded by the NIH’s Microbicide Trials Network) 2012

  A Good Clean Love aloe gel bought from a retailer measured 269 mmol/kg and pH 4.8 and, with PRÉ, was one of two near-isotonic gels that kept epithelial cells and cervical and colorectal tissue viable, unlike the hyperosmolar gels. The gel tested listed lemon and vanilla extract and benzoic acid, so it is an earlier formula. Astroglide measured 6,113 and KY Jelly 2,510 in the same table. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)

• Independent Mamavation and Environmental Health News (the site earns affiliate income) February 2024

  Almost Naked had no detectable organic fluorine, a PFAS marker (flag above 10 ppm), in one sample bought in 2023. Mamavation moved it from its best to its better lubricant group in February 2024 over a Prop 65 warning for non-decolorized whole-leaf aloe, and advised against ingesting it. The raw lab data is members-only. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)

• Maker’s own test Good Clean Love, with FDA review (510(k) K150094) November 2015

  FDA’s public file is the clearance letter and indication, which says the lubricant is compatible with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms. The test method is not shown. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)

Are today’s pH and osmolality really what the maker says?

Only the maker has published them: pH 4.0 to 4.4 (its store feed says 4.1 to 4.5) and 250 to 400 mOsm/kg. WHO’s 2012 advice (opens in a new tab) is an osmolality of 380 or less and a pH of about 4.5, so the top of the stated range is above the ideal. The 2012 NIH-funded study measured an older formula. The maker cites “an NIH study” for its claim of gentleness on the vaginal microbiome and does not name it; that study is the likeliest match.

Does it carry a Prop 65 cancer warning for aloe?

Mamavation reported (opens in a new tab) in February 2024 that Almost Naked carries a warning for non-decolorized whole-leaf aloe extract, which California lists as a carcinogen, and advised against swallowing it. We saw no warning on the maker’s or Target’s page, and the maker does not say whether its aloe is decolorized. No Prop 65 notice names Good Clean Love. The maker’s FAQ calls its flavoring “generally recognized as safe to ingest,” and a Good Clean Love answer on Target’s page says its lubricants are safe to ingest in small amounts.

What is the “natural flavor”?

The maker’s FAQ says “Our Almost Naked has a vanilla and lemon flavor” that is derived from plants, with no artificial constituents. It does not break the flavor down further. Target’s label line reads “natural lemon vanilla flavor,” and the 2012 study’s version listed lemon and vanilla extract. A flavor-free option from the same maker, BioNude, has 11 ingredients, no aloe and no flavor, and a different FDA clearance (K180136), but we found no outside test of it.

Does it need preservatives, and are they a worry?

A water-based gel does, and the label names potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate. A silicone lubricant needs none, but we found no independent test that settles which is better for the body.

Are influencers being paid to promote it?

We found no affiliate or ambassador program linked from the maker’s product page, and could not read Reddit or social media, so we cannot say. The page says it is “gynecologist recommended” without naming one.

• FDA’s database lists clearance K150094 (November 2015) for Almost Naked as a personal lubricant. The indication says it is compatible with natural rubber latex, polyisoprene and polyurethane condoms.
• A 2012 NIH-funded lab study of ten water-based gels measured a Good Clean Love aloe gel at 269 mmol/kg and pH 4.8 and called it one of two near-isotonic gels. Astroglide measured 6,113 and KY Jelly 2,510 in the same table.
• WHO’s 2012 advisory note says a lubricant’s osmolality should ideally not exceed 380 mOsm/kg, that vaginal fluid runs about 260 to 290, and that a vaginal lubricant’s pH should be about 4.5. Good Clean Love states 250 to 400 mOsm/kg and pH 4.0 to 4.4 for the current formula.
• Seven ingredients: organic aloe leaf juice, xanthan gum, agar, lactic acid, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate and natural flavor. The maker says no glycerin, parabens or petrochemicals.

• The “natural flavor” is described only as plant-derived lemon and vanilla, and the lactic acid is called a “proprietary blend.” For a lubricant with no flavor, the same maker sells BioNude (FDA K180136), unscented and unflavored, with 11 ingredients and no aloe; we judged it not clearly better, since it is longer and has no outside test.
• The pH and osmolality numbers for today’s formula are the maker’s, and the top of the stated osmolality range (400) sits above WHO’s ideal ceiling of 380.
• Mamavation reported in February 2024 that Almost Naked carries a California Proposition 65 warning for non-decolorized whole-leaf aloe extract, and advised against swallowing it. We did not see a warning on the maker’s or Target’s page.
• Water-based, so it has to be preserved: potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate here. A silicone lubricant such as Überlube has no water and needs neither.

• BioNude Ultra Sensitive (same maker) (opens in a new tab) Unscented and unflavored, pH 4.0 to 4.4 and 251 to 400 mOsm/kg, per the maker. FDA K180136 says it is not compatible with polyurethane condoms. About $5.66 an ounce.
• Überlube Silicone Lubricant (opens in a new tab) Silicone, so no pH or osmolality to check, and four ingredients at a premium price; not for silicone toys. An advocacy group’s lab screen reported organic fluorine, a PFAS marker, in it in 2024 and later dropped the entry without explanation, so we have not listed it.
• Aloe Cadabra Natural Aloe Lubricant Also aloe-based and FDA-cleared, and about the same price per ounce, but it publishes no pH or osmolality number.
