Let’s Talk About Mae
1) Is Mae by Damiva really all-natural?
Yes, Mae is indeed entirely comprised of ingredients that are natural, edible and environmentally sustainable. Cocoa butter is used to make chocolate, sucrose is sugar, kokum butter is from the mangosteen fruit and sea buckthorn is a berry. Mae also contains vitamin E and hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring carbohydrate. Vitamin E (tocopherol) acts as a preservative and is often used in food products, such as organic cereals, to preserve freshness. An average adult has about 15 grams of hyaluronic acid in their body. There are no other ingredients in Mae and no hidden chemicals labelled simply as “preservatives.”
All of the natural ingredients in Mae are rated as low hazard, either 0 or 1, by the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) Skin Deep Cosmetics Database (0 to 2 represents a low hazard).
2) How is Mae by Damiva different than other lubricants?
Mae is natural, vegan and free of waxes, including animal waxes such as beeswax, animal testing, fragrance, chemical stabilizers and preservatives such as parabens and phthalates. Mae has a natural scent that comes from the cocoa butter. Many vaginal lubricants contain the preservative methylparaben, rated a moderate hazard of 4 by EWG, and shown to be linked to hormone disruption and breast cancer. Methylparabens, and parabens in general, are increasingly a concern as various studies from the Center for Disease Control and EWG demonstrate that nearly all urine and breast tumour samples tested in different populations have methylparabens. See The Human Toxome Project for more information. Mae does not contain methylparaben or any potentially harmful chemicals.
Mae is a solid, oil-based lubricant paste that dissolves and is absorbed instantly upon contact. This bypasses the messy lubrication experienced with water and other oil-based products. The butter base enables longer-term lubrication than most other lubricants. This allows the product to be used well in advance of intercourse.
3) What precautions should I be aware of with Mae?
Mae is not compatible with latex condoms as the oils can degrade the latex.Do not use Mae if you have any symptoms of vaginal infection, gynecological problems or sexually transmitted disease.
Keep out of reach of children.
4) Instructions for use
Remove the plastic wrapper from the ovule. Discard the plastic wrap, it is NOT an applicator and is used only for sealing the paste and preventing degradation of the natural ingredients.
The ovule is essentially a butter paste that melts upon contact with the vaginal membrane. Using fingers, insert ovule as far as comfortable. The paste will melt with body heat and provide genital lubrication.
Currently Available in 10 Ovuls per box.
