Water-based products
Water-based products are an alternative to silicone. They are neutral in both taste and smell. So you’re assured of palatability and the absence of irritants that come with undisclosed fragrances. Unlike other forms of lube, they’re safe to use with condoms and other silicone products because they don’t break down the material.
A notable natural ingredient for water-based natural lube is aloe vera which is a plant that is known for its cooling properties and water content. A lot of lube products on the market can contain this but they often come with alcohol. If you have sensitivities to that, make sure to check the ingredient list!

It is also water-based, so this all-natural lube won’t damage latex. It is safe to use with condom. If you want to go completely natural, this may be the way to go.
Coconut or plant-oil based products
Oil-based products are also very common. Most of the time, it would be coconut, sunflower, or other plant-based oils used in lubes. It’s important to note that oil-based natural lube products cannot be used with latex or plastic products because oil and fat damages latex and silicone.
