K-Y Jelly Water-Based Personal Lubricant

K-Y Jelly is one of the world's most recognized brands in personal health and intimacy products. Originally developed in 1904 by the pharmaceutical firm Van Horn & Sawtell in New York, it was initially used as a surgical lubricant before becoming a household name for personal use. The brand's long-standing history highlights its evolution from a medical-grade product to a staple in personal wellness.

Today, K-Y is a flagship brand under the Reckitt Benckiser (Reckitt) portfolio. Reckitt acquired the brand from Johnson & Johnson in 2014 to expand its health and hygiene division. While the brand originated in the United States, manufacturing now occurs in various global locations to meet international demand. The ultimate owner, Reckitt, is a British multinational company headquartered in Slough, United Kingdom, known for its extensive range of health, hygiene, and nutrition products.
