BLINDED BY LUBE SCIENCE

Osmolality and pH can be very mysterious factors when it comes to lube. At least pH can be easily home tested, while osmolality levels remain nearly impossible to find.

A few manufactures do list their osmolality ranges though, and a few specify ‘low osmolality,’ so keep an eye out for it. Another thing to look out for is the presence of glycerin or propylene glycol which predict a high osmolality.

Below are a couple of links from people who were good enough to make spreadsheets on various lubes tested, or published, pH and osmolality range.
