What Is a Water Based Personal Lubricant With Ginseng?

If you've ever felt that intimacy could do with a little extra ease and comfort, you're far from alone. Dryness, friction, and reduced sensation are common concerns — and they're nothing to feel awkward about. The water based personal lubricant from Intimate Earth, the MOJO Peruvian Ginseng Waterbased Performance Glide 120ml, is designed to address exactly that. Blending a smooth, body-friendly water-based formula with plant-derived extracts including Peruvian ginseng (Lepidium meyenii, commonly known as maca) and Panax ginseng, it aims to support comfort and performance during intimate moments. You can explore the full range of options in our personal lubricants collection at Cured Pharmacy.

This product is free from parabens and glycerine, which makes it a thoughtful choice for those who prefer cleaner formulations. At just £2.99 for 120ml, it offers genuine value without cutting corners on ingredient quality.

How Does Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide Work?

The mechanism here is straightforward but effective. Water-based lubricants work by providing a slippery, low-friction layer between skin surfaces, reducing discomfort during intimate activity. What sets MOJO apart is the addition of botanical extracts traditionally associated with circulatory support and vitality.

Peruvian maca root (Lepidium meyenii): A plant native to the Andes, traditionally used to support energy and libido.
Panax ginseng extract: A well-studied adaptogenic herb associated in some research with improved circulation and sexual function.
Water-based carrier: Ensures compatibility with latex condoms and easy clean-up with water.
Glycerine-free formula: Reduces the risk of disrupting vaginal flora, making it more suitable for those prone to thrush or bacterial vaginosis.

The result is a lubricant that doesn't just reduce friction — it brings a functional botanical dimension to intimate care.

Who Should Use Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide?

This product is suitable for a wide range of adults. It's particularly well-suited to those who want a plant-infused, glycerine-free option that works with condoms and intimate toys. Whether you're managing dryness, looking to enhance sensation, or simply want a reliable everyday lubricant, MOJO fits the bill.

Adults experiencing intimate dryness or discomfort
Those who prefer plant-based, paraben-free formulations
People using latex or polyisoprene condoms
Anyone seeking a lubricant that supports performance and comfort simultaneously

It is not recommended for use by those with known allergies to ginseng, maca, or any listed ingredient. Always check the full ingredient list before use.

How Does Intimate Earth MOJO Compare to Other Lubricants?

Feature	Intimate Earth MOJO	Standard Water-Based Lube
Base type	Water-based	Water-based
Botanical extracts	Peruvian ginseng & maca root	None typically
Glycerine-free	Yes	Often no

Is Intimate Earth MOJO Clinically Suitable for Sensitive Skin?

For most people, yes. The glycerine-free, paraben-free formula is designed with sensitive skin in mind. Because it avoids common irritants found in many mainstream lubricants, it's a reasonable choice for those who've experienced reactions to other products. That said, individual sensitivities vary — if you have a history of reactions to botanical extracts, a patch test on the inner wrist before intimate use is a sensible precaution.

If you're managing a condition that affects intimate health — such as recurrent thrush — it's worth browsing our thrush treatments alongside choosing an appropriate lubricant. Speak to your pharmacist if you're unsure which products are right for your situation.

This product is a cosmetic intimate care product. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

Specifications of Intimate Earth MOJO Peruvian Ginseng Waterbased Performance Glide 120ml

What Is Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide and What Is It Used For?

Intimate Earth MOJO Peruvian Ginseng Waterbased Performance Glide is a topically applied intimate lubricant. It is used to reduce friction and discomfort during sexual activity, and its botanical ingredient profile — centred on Peruvian maca root and Panax ginseng — is intended to complement intimate performance. It is not a medicine and does not treat any medical condition. It is a cosmetic intimate care product available without a prescription.

The 120ml bottle provides a generous supply for regular use. Because it is water-based, it is compatible with latex condoms, polyisoprene condoms, and most intimate toy materials. It is not suitable for use as a contraceptive and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). For information on sexual health and STI prevention, the NHS provides clear guidance at NHS.uk.

What Do You Need to Know Before Using Intimate Earth MOJO?

Before using any intimate product, it's worth taking a moment to check it's right for you. Most adults can use this lubricant without issue, but there are some important points to be aware of.

Do not use this product if you:

Have a known allergy to ginseng, maca root, or any other listed ingredient
Have open wounds, sores, or active skin infections in the area of application
Are using it as a substitute for medical treatment of vaginal dryness caused by a diagnosed condition — speak to your GP first
Are pregnant or breastfeeding, unless advised otherwise by a healthcare professional

Interactions and additional warnings:

No significant drug interactions are known for topically applied lubricants of this type
Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water
Do not use internally (e.g. rectally) unless the product is specifically indicated for that purpose
If you are prone to recurrent thrush or bacterial vaginosis, a glycerine-free formula like this is preferable — but speak to your pharmacist if symptoms persist

How Should You Use Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide?

Using this lubricant correctly is simple. There's no complicated routine — just a few straightforward steps to get the most from it.

Ensure the skin in the area of application is clean and dry.
Dispense a small amount of the gel onto your fingertips or directly onto the intimate area.
Apply gently and evenly. Start with a small amount — you can always add more.
Reapply as needed during activity. Water-based lubricants can dry out faster than silicone-based alternatives, so reapplication is normal.
After use, wash the area with warm water. The formula rinses off easily.

Indication	Age Group	Amount	Frequency
Intimate dryness / friction reduction	Adults (18+)	Small amount (pea-sized to start)	As needed during activity
Performance support	Adults (18+)	As required	As needed

If you're also managing broader intimate health concerns, our women's health range includes products that may complement your intimate care routine.

Mild itching, particularly in those with sensitive skin

Less common side effects:

Allergic contact dermatitis (rash, swelling, or hives) — seek medical advice if this occurs

How does Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide work in the body?

The water-based formula creates a smooth, low-friction layer on the skin during intimate activity, reducing discomfort and enhancing sensation. The Peruvian ginseng and maca root extracts are botanicals traditionally associated with supporting circulation and vitality. Together, they aim to make intimate experiences more comfortable and enjoyable.

How do I use Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide step by step?

Apply a small amount of the gel to the intimate area before or during activity, starting with a pea-sized amount and adding more as needed. The formula is water-based, so it may need reapplying during longer sessions. After use, simply rinse off with warm water — it cleans up easily.

Is Intimate Earth MOJO lubricant safe to use with condoms?

Yes — because it is water-based, Intimate Earth MOJO is fully compatible with latex and polyisoprene condoms. Oil-based lubricants can degrade latex and increase the risk of condom failure, so a water-based option is always the safer choice when using condoms. For more on sexual health, visit our condoms and sexual health section.

What are the side effects of Intimate Earth MOJO Peruvian Ginseng lubricant?

Side effects are uncommon but can include mild skin irritation, localised redness, or itching — particularly in those with sensitive skin or sensitivities to botanical extracts. In rare cases, allergic contact dermatitis may occur, presenting as a rash or swelling. If any of these occur, stop use immediately, rinse the area with cool water, and consult a pharmacist or GP if symptoms persist.

Who is eligible to use Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide?

This product is suitable for adults aged 18 and over who are looking for a plant-based, glycerine-free, water-based lubricant for intimate use. It is particularly well-suited to those who use condoms, prefer paraben-free formulations, or have experienced irritation with glycerine-containing lubricants. It is not recommended for those with known allergies to ginseng or maca root.

Can women use Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide?

Yes, the gentle water-based formula is suitable for all genders, though the product is primarily marketed to support performance in people with penises. The glycerine-free formula is a thoughtful choice for those prone to thrush or bacterial vaginosis, as glycerine can disrupt vaginal flora in some individuals. If you have recurrent intimate health concerns, speak to your GP or pharmacist.

Is Intimate Earth MOJO lubricant vegan-friendly?

Intimate Earth formulates its products with plant-based ingredients and the brand is widely regarded as vegan-friendly. The MOJO Performance Glide uses botanical extracts rather than animal-derived ingredients. Always check the current product label for the most up-to-date ingredient confirmation, as formulations can occasionally change.

What are the alternatives to Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide?

Alternatives include other water-based personal lubricants, silicone-based lubricants (which last longer but aren't compatible with silicone toys), and hybrid formulas. You can compare options in our personal lubricants range. If you're looking for something specifically for vaginal dryness related to menopause, speak to your GP about prescription options.

How long can you use Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide for?

There is no set limit on how long you can use this product — it is designed for regular, ongoing use as part of your intimate care routine. As with any topical product, if you notice any irritation developing over time, take a break and consult a pharmacist. Always use before the expiry date printed on the packaging.

Does Intimate Earth MOJO lubricant protect against STIs?

No — Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide is a lubricant only and does not provide any protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). For STI prevention, always use condoms correctly and consistently. The NHS provides comprehensive guidance on STI prevention at NHS.uk.

Is Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide glycerine-free?

Yes, the MOJO Performance Glide is formulated without glycerine, which is a notable benefit for those who are prone to thrush or bacterial vaginosis. Glycerine can act as a food source for Candida (the yeast responsible for thrush) in some individuals. Choosing a glycerine-free lubricant is often recommended by healthcare professionals for those with recurrent intimate infections.

What does Peruvian ginseng (maca root) do in a lubricant?

Peruvian ginseng, or maca root (Lepidium meyenii), is a plant native to the Andes traditionally used to support energy, libido, and vitality. In this lubricant, it is included as a botanical extract alongside Panax ginseng to complement the performance-focused formulation. While the evidence for topical application specifically is limited, both botanicals have a long history of use in traditional medicine for intimate wellness.

What is the best time to use Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide?

Apply the lubricant immediately before or during intimate activity for best results. There is no specific timing requirement — simply use it when needed and reapply as necessary throughout. Because it is water-based, it may absorb or dry out faster than silicone-based alternatives, so having the bottle within easy reach is a practical tip.

What are the latest studies on ginseng and intimate performance?

Research into Panax ginseng and sexual function has shown some promising results, particularly in studies examining erectile function and libido, though most evidence relates to oral supplementation rather than topical application. Maca root has similarly been studied for its effects on sexual desire, with some small trials suggesting a modest benefit. If you're interested in oral supplements for intimate wellness, explore our vitamins and supplements range for relevant options.

How Should You Use Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide?

Using Intimate Earth MOJO Peruvian Ginseng Waterbased Performance Glide is simple and requires no special preparation. The water-based formula is designed to feel natural and comfortable from the first application, making it easy to incorporate into your intimate routine.

Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water. Do not use on broken or irritated skin.

What Is the Correct Dose of Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide?

There is no fixed dose for this product — the amount used will depend on individual preference and the nature of the activity. As a general guide, start with a small amount and increase as needed to achieve the desired level of comfort and lubrication.

There is no maximum daily dose, but use only as much as is needed for comfort. More is not necessarily better — start small and adjust.

When Is the Best Time to Use Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide?

Apply the lubricant immediately before or during intimate activity for the most effective results. Because it is water-based, it may dry out or absorb into the skin more quickly than silicone-based alternatives, so having the bottle accessible for reapplication during use is a practical approach. There is no need to apply it in advance of activity — it works immediately on contact.

How Long Can You Use Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide For?

This product is suitable for regular, ongoing use as part of your intimate care routine. There is no recommended maximum duration of use, provided you are not experiencing any adverse reactions. If irritation develops at any point, discontinue use and allow the skin to recover before trying again. Always check the expiry date on the packaging and discard the product if it has passed. Store correctly between uses to maintain product quality.

Do not exceed the recommended dose. If in doubt, speak to your pharmacist.

What Are the Most Common Side Effects of Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide?

Most people use Intimate Earth MOJO without experiencing any side effects. However, as with any topically applied product containing botanical extracts, a small number of users may notice mild reactions, particularly during initial use or if they have sensitive skin.

Mild localised skin irritation at the site of application
Temporary redness or warmth of the skin
Mild itching, especially in those with sensitive intimate skin

These reactions are usually short-lived and resolve on their own once the product is rinsed off with cool water. If they persist, stop using the product and consult a pharmacist.

What Are the Less Common Side Effects of Intimate Earth MOJO?

Less commonly, some individuals may experience a more pronounced reaction, particularly if they have a sensitivity to one of the botanical extracts in the formula — such as Panax ginseng or maca root.

Burning or stinging sensation at the application site
Allergic contact dermatitis — presenting as a rash, hives, or localised swelling
Prolonged redness that does not resolve after rinsing

If you experience any of these, discontinue use immediately and rinse the area thoroughly with cool water. Seek advice from a pharmacist or GP if symptoms do not improve within 24 hours.

What Are the Serious Side Effects of Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide?

Serious allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) to topically applied intimate lubricants are extremely rare. However, if you experience any of the following after use, seek emergency medical attention immediately:

Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
Difficulty breathing or swallowing
Sudden widespread rash or hives across the body
Dizziness or feeling faint

These symptoms would suggest a systemic allergic reaction and require urgent medical assessment. Call 999 or go to your nearest A&E department.

What Should You Do If You Experience Side Effects?

If you notice any irritation, redness, or discomfort after using this product, stop use straight away and rinse the affected area with cool, clean water. Do not apply any other products to the area until the irritation has fully resolved. If you are unsure whether a reaction is related to this product or another cause, a pharmacist can help you assess the situation without needing an appointment.

Can Intimate Earth MOJO Performance Glide Interact With Other Products?

No significant interactions with medicines are known for this topically applied lubricant. However, avoid using it alongside other topical intimate products at the same time, as combining formulations may increase the risk of skin irritation. Oil-based products applied to the same area may also affect the performance of the water-based formula. If you are using any prescribed topical treatments in the intimate area, speak to your pharmacist before using this lubricant alongside them.

If you are concerned about any side effects, contact your pharmacist or GP immediately.
