Behind the Label: The Story of Cocolube’s Development and What Makes It Unique

From the desk of Julie Pefferman, chemist & founder of Coco Chemistry

I’ve spent my career in the beauty industry—formulating everything from prestige skincare to body care breakthroughs. But Cocolube? This one’s personal.

Like so many women, I found myself frustrated with what the market offered when it came to intimate products. Most lubricants felt like afterthoughts: sticky, scentless, and soulless. They lacked elegance, and worse, they didn’t consider our biology. I wanted something better. Something that felt luxurious and sensual and aligned with modern science. Something designed with women’s needs—not men’s convenience—in mind.

So I created Cocolube, powered by our proprietary Siliclone™ Science. This is the first lubricant I’ve ever seen that bridges high-performance intimacy with clean, coconut-based chemistry. And it’s become my proudest formula to date.

The Science Behind the Sensuality

At the heart of Cocolube is a radical innovation:
Siliclone™ = silicone performance, without the silicone.

Unlike traditional lubes that rely on synthetic dimethicones or petroleum oils, Cocolube uses a proprietary blend of esterified coconut oils and biocompatible emollients to mimic the silky texture of silicone—without any of the downsides. It’s:

• Non-comedogenic

• Vaginal microbiome-friendly

• Free of hormone-disrupting silicones and glycols

• Naturally pH-supportive

• Body-safe and sex toy safe

This is a first-of-its-kind formula that delivers an ultra-slick glide, a dry-touch finish, and a faint exotic flavor—all from renewable, skin-loving ingredients.

What Makes Cocolube Different?

💡 Formulated by a Female Chemist

As a woman and a formulator, I knew this product had to feel indulgent while respecting the delicate skin of our most intimate areas. Every decision—from the glide to the glow—was made with you in mind.

🌺 Elegance in Every Drop

Cocolube feels more like a luxury skincare product than a lube. Its soft scent, discreet packaging, and clean finish make it something you’ll actually want to keep on your nightstand.

🔥 Gentle Natural Warming

Unlike synthetic “warming” lubes that sting or irritate, Cocolube delivers a naturally mild heat from our ester-based formula. No menthol. No capsaicin. Just warmth that melts into your skin.

💋 Oral-Friendly Exotic Flavor

Cocolube subtly masks odor and enhances oral play with a faint, tropical-inspired taste. It’s confidence in a bottle—and your partner won’t complain either.

🌿 Dry Yet Moisturized Finish

It glides like silicone, but absorbs like skincare. That’s the power of coconut esters—they hydrate and soothe, without the greasy residue or transfer.

🧼 Naturally Antibacterial + pH Aware

Cocolube was tested against vaginal flora parameters and designed to support, not disrupt, the skin’s natural balance. Coconut esters are known for their gentle antimicrobial properties, and we never use ingredients that could trigger irritation or imbalance.

Why I Believe This Matters

Sexual wellness is still a category where women are underserved, underestimated, and often ignored. I built Coco Chemistry to change that—starting with lube. Cocolube isn’t just functional; it’s emotional. It’s here to reframe how we think about pleasure, comfort, and self-care.

This is about more than lubrication. It’s about liberation—creating something that makes you feel good, works beautifully, and lets you take control of your pleasure without compromise. Most importantly is let's live in the moment. 

You deserve a product that feels like it was made for you—because it was.

With science, soul, and a little coconut magic,
