On April 27, 2026, GJ Family Group's Lick brand announced a major expansion of its flavored massage oil line with 10 new cream-inspired scents, doubling down on the dessert-flavored, edible-friendly positioning that has made the company a recurring presence on Amazon, Walmart.com, and Lickgoods.com bestseller lists. The new lineup includes Vanilla Coconut Cream, Strawberry Vanilla Bliss, Mango Vanilla Cream, Cherry Vanilla Cream, Honey Caramel Vanilla, Caramel Coconut Cream, Caramel Chocolate Cream, Caramel Peach Cream, Peach Vanilla, and Caramel Vanilla Cream — pricing not disclosed at announcement, though existing 4-oz Lick massage oils retail at Amazon for $14–$19. A May 4 follow-up press release highlighted the existing Strawberries and Cream variant, indicating the brand is leaning into the new collection through Mother's Day and Memorial Day promotional cycles.

Why It Matters

The Lick expansion is a small launch but a useful signal of where mass-market sexual wellness is heading: dessert-flavored oils at Amazon-friendly price points, marketed in language indistinguishable from skincare. The category remains a low-margin, high-volume game, but with 10 new SKUs Lick is betting that flavor-fragmentation drives repeat purchase the same way scented candles do. For shelf-space watchers, the question is whether mainstream retailers (Target, CVS, Sephora) accept oil-based intimate products with the same comfort they've shown lubricants and supplements.

The product positioning is squarely in the Sephora-aisle sexual wellness category that has been the segment's fastest-growing channel since 2023. Lick massage oils are formulated with sweet almond oil, Vitamin E, and natural flavor compounds; the brand emphasizes vegan, sugar-free, and "kissable" formulation, meaning the oils are explicitly designed to be safe to ingest and to use on intimate areas. The products are condom-safe (non-petroleum-based) but not silicone-toy-safe (the natural oils degrade silicone), a tradeoff Lick shares with other oil-based intimate products like Foria's Sex Oil. The 4-oz format positions Lick as everyday-use rather than special-occasion, and the dessert-flavor framing ("date night," "self-care") deliberately avoids the explicitly erotic language that retail giants like Target and Sephora restrict in their wellness aisles.

The company quote from the April 27 press release captures the strategic positioning: "Our customers love products that feel indulgent but are still easy to use and skin-safe. This new collection was created to bring together comforting, familiar scent profiles with the same performance people expect from our massage oils." The framing — "indulgent," "comforting," "familiar" — echoes the broader sexual wellness brand vocabulary popularized by Maude, Hello Cake, and Foria, all of which have built significant retail presence by positioning intimate products as adjacent to skincare and wellness rather than to traditional adult retail.

Lick's expansion follows a steady wave of sexual wellness brand launches and retail expansion during 2026. SWG Brands launched January 5 as the vertically integrated holding company combining Hello Cake, Wet, Turn On, and Trigg Laboratories. pjur completed Vegan Society trademark certification of its ORGANIC line on April 30. Lemme Purr (Kourtney Kardashian Barker's brand) hit 2,000+ Walmart stores January 1. The cumulative effect: sexual wellness shelf space at mainstream retailers continues to expand, and brands without prescription pharmaceutical components (Hims, Ro) or premium pricing power (LELO, We-Vibe) have settled into a flavored-oils, gummies, lubricants, and supplements vocabulary that mirrors clean-beauty marketing more than adult-novelty marketing.
