Helping women with dryness for almost thirty years,
Who we are
We are passionate about intimate well-being and helping women to feel confident and healthy as well as supporting the health professionals who care for them. This is the reason we launched The Sylk Bursary in conjunction with The UK Menopause Group to fund educational initiatives for nurses. We also love partnering with relevant charities and a few years ago ran a year long promotion with The Eve Appeal where we donated 7p from every pack sold to this amazing charity that funds research into the causes of gynaecological cancer.
Sylk UK was founded by our parents back in the 1990’s following time spent living and working in New Zealand where they discovered this amazing product. They quickly established a reputation amongst UK consumers and health professionals and Sylk was the first NATURAL lubricant to gain prescription status in 1997 at the recommendation of many leading medical establishments.
Since then the brand and company have grown and following our parents retirement in 2007, my siblings and I have run the business along with our incredible Sylk team.

Contains no nasties
Sylk is water-based, colourless, odourless, tasteless and contains no nasties – that’s no harmful chemicals, hormones, or parabens. It matches your vagina’s natural pH, helping to keep bacteria at bay whilst gently and safely hydrating and moisturising your most intimate area.
Whether dryness is due to pregnancy or breastfeeding, a menopausal symptom, a side effect of cancer treatment or just because you need a little extra hydration, Sylk is the answer. And because it’s so natural, it can be used as often as you need.

What is in Sylk?
Moisturising gums
Sylk is enhanced with plant gums (subject to availability) that not only moisturise and help create a silky smooth texture but also provide a variety of benefits. Sylk Original contains extract of kiwifruit which is well-known for its healing properties, being high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. This makes it really beneficial for post menopause when vaginal dryness can worsen.
Sylk Bliss is crafted with powerful plant adaptogens Ashwagandha and Maca that both support balancing and libido making it the perfect lubricant for those going through perimenopause.
Use Sylk with confidence
Sylk has been helping women with dryness for almost thirty years, giving relief from this common but often misunderstood condition. Sylk has been extensively tested and passed all relevant product stability and toxicological tests. Each batch also undergoes regular testing and results are available on request.
