Detox Your Sex Life: 10 Brilliant, Clean Essentials for the Bedroom
It’s understandable: People don’t often consider toxic load when they’re thinking about sex. But they should—and not only because endocrine disruptors in lube and sex toys are, in fact, a thing. Clean and nontoxic bedroom essentials turn out to often be a whole lot sexier, more luxurious, and more fun than their at-times-cheeseball conventional counterparts that commonly incorporate parabens, phthalates, artificial fragrance, and other chemicals into their formulas. In their place, our favorite sexy items are made with nontoxic botanical extracts, BPA-free plastic, and nourishing oils. From organic-aloe-based lubricants to flower-extract-infused massage oils, they’re also cool, sex-positive, beautifully luxe, and downright life-affirming.

ROSE CANDLE
(WITH A SECRET)Bonus! This coconut-oil candle melts into an exquisite massage oil.
This gorgeous candle, faintly but exquisitely scented with pure Rose de Mai oil, doubles as a luxurious treatment for skin: It’s made with coconut oil, which has a low melting point, so as the candle burns, it melts into warm (never hot) massage oil that happens to be packed with skin-smoothing omega oils, vitamins, and minerals. It feels as incredible as it smells, and it looks beautiful too. A brilliant, exceptional, romantic, imaginative gift—and you definitely need one for yourself, too.Oskia Rose de Mai Massage Candle
