      LUBRICANTS, ENHANCEMENTS, AND CLEANSE PRODUCTS

       

      Are your products tested on animals?

      Alchemy is cruelty free and does not test its products on animals.

      Are your products paraben free?

      Yes, Alchemy is committed to paraben-free formulas across its collection of lubricants, enhancements, and Cleanse products.

      Parabens are synthetic chemicals (preservatives) that are often used in beauty and personal care products to prevent growth of fungi and other micro-organisms. Commonly used parabens include Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Isopropylparaben, and Ethylparaben. Parabens are believed to disrupt hormone function by mimicking oestrogen in men and women. Too much oestrogren can trigger an increase in breast cell division and growth of tumors, which is why we choose not to use them.

      What is the difference between water-based and silicone-based lubricants?

      Alchemy lubricants are made of high-quality and are body safe. All of our lubricants are formulated to ease and enhance your intimate experience by reducing friction or by adding a warming, cooling, or tingling sensation.

      Our water-based lubricants are formulated to be slippery and may need to be reapplied during long sessions. Clean-up is quick and easy, requiring only warm water. Water-based lubricants are also the perfect companion when using Alchemy intimate devices.

      Our silicone-based lubricants are formulated to be slick and long-lasting. These are less likely to need multiple applications and can also be used in water. Clean-up requires mild soap and warm water.

      What is Alchemy Silk?

      Alchemy Silk is a hybrid lubricant (blend of water and silicone) that is formulated to maintain viscosity. It has a rich, creamy, luxurious texture that is perfect for long sessions and backdoor play. Clean-up requires mild soap and warm water.

      Are Alchemy lubricants safe to use with condoms?

      Yes, we recommend that you always use a water-based or silicone-based lubricant when using latex condoms. Not only will the slickness of the lubricant enhance your enjoyment, it will make your intimate experience safer by reducing friction and keeping the condom intact.

      Never use oil-based lubricants, such as baby oil or coconut oil, with latex condoms. Oils can breakdown the latex causing it to split or break, increasing your risk of pregnancy and disease. It is recommended that you always read manufacturer guidelines regarding condom safety when using lubricants.

      Can Alchemy lubricants be used with a spermicidal lubricant?

      Like any personal lubricant, Alchemy lubricants can dilute the effectiveness of spermicidal products. It is recommended that you always read manufacturer guidelines when using spermicidal products with lubricants.

      What is Alchemy Spark?

      Alchemy Spark is a topical arousal gel specifically formulated for woman. When applied to intimate areas, it provides a warming and vibrating sensation that heightens your intimate experience. Spark is a water-based solution made with essential oils and botanicals, so clean-up is easy. We suggest applying to intimate areas twenty (20) minutes before intimate sessions.

      Are your lubricants and enhancements safe to use during pregnancy?

      Formal studies have not been conducted to test the safety of personal lubricants and topical enhancements during pregnancy. We recommend consulting with your healthcare physician before using any lubricants and enhancements while pregnant.

      Are your lubricants and enhancements safe to swallow during intimacy?

      Alchemy lubricants and enhancements are non-toxic, so ingesting small amounts should not be harmful. Remember, although Alchemy lubricants and enhancements taste great, it is never a good idea to drink them from the bottle. Please always use these types of products as intended.

      What is Alchemy Cleanse Wipes made of?

      Our wipes are made with plant-based fibers and natural materials.

      Are Alchemy Cleanse Wipes hypoallergenic?

      Can I use Alchemy Cleanse Wipes on my intimate areas?

      Alchemy Cleanse Wipes are for external use only. Do not apply to damaged or broken skin. Keep away from children to avoid danger of choking or suffocation.

      Are Alchemy Cleanse Wipes flushable?

      Yes, our wipes are made with plant-based fibers and manufactured to be biodegradable when saturated with water. We recommend flushing one wipe at a time ONLY if sewer and septic systems are well maintained. We do not recommend flushing them with motorhome or basement pump systems.


      INTIMATE DEVICES


      Are Alchemy intimate devices safe to travel with?

      Yes, our intimate devices come equipped with a travel-lock control button to prevent unintended activation, requiring a two (2) second press to turn on. Remember to always store your Alchemy intimate device in its microfiber pouch and pack among soft objects.

      Can I use my Alchemy intimate device in water?

      Yes and no. Although many of our intimate devices are water-resistant (IPX-6), they are not waterproof. So, while it is safe to use in water, such as in the shower, you should never fully submerge them under water.

      What is the best way to clean my Alchemy intimate devices?

      We recommend cleaning your intimate devices before and after each use with Alchemy Cleanse, our silicone-safe intimate device spray. Cleanse is antibacterial and helps preserve the life of your device. If Cleanse is unavailable, mild soap and warm water are the next best thing. Never use harsh soaps or boiling water. Wipe dry with a lint-free cloth. Always store your Alchemy intimate device in its microfiber pouch.
