🔍 The Problem: Unsafe Silicone Sex Toy Risks Your Reputation

⚠️ Imagine your customers complaining about:

  • Chemical-smelling silicone products
  • Sticky or tacky textures
  • Health concerns due to non-food-grade materials

💔 For brands sourcing adult toys, medical devices, or kitchenware, low-quality silicone can destroy trust and sink sales.


The Solution: How to Spot Genuine Food-Grade Silicone

Food-grade liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is:

  • Platinum-cured (two-component system)
  • Free from BPA, phthalates, and other toxins
  • Certified safe for skin/food contact (FDA, LFGB, EU standards)
  • Superior in flexibility, durability & heat resistance (up to 200°C/392°F)
