Product overview
Durex Play Classic H2O Lube (50ml) is a water-based personal lubricant manufactured by Reckitt Benckiser under the Durex brand.
Key Ingredients
- Water and Propylene Glycol -- confirmed as present across the retailer sources checked for this water-based formula
- Sourcing note on the full ingredient list: no official Durex source discloses a complete ingredient panel for this exact "Play Classic H2O" SKU. Two retailer-sourced lists were found, under two different regional product names ("Play Classic H2O" vs. the UK's "Play Feel") -- they overlap on Water, Propylene Glycol, and a Benzoic Acid/Sodium Hydroxide preservative pairing, but diverge on the thickening agent used (Carbomer and Xanthan Gum per one source, Hydroxyethylcellulose per the other) and on whether Glycerin and Citric Acid are present. Because the two names may denote different regional formulations, this conflict is disclosed here rather than a single list being presented as confirmed.
