Sliquid Earns Pair of 2022 XBIZ Awards Nominations

DALLAS — Sliquid is pleased to announce two nominations from the 2022 XBIZ Awards, including “Sex Lubricant Company of the Year."

The company is also contending for “Sensual Bath & Body Product of the Year” for its newly released hydrating body lotion, Sliquid Soothe.

Sliquid Soothe is described as "a moisture-rich lotion that has been infused with natural mango and shea butters, olive oil and other essential oils that heal and support the body’s largest and most vulnerable organ, our skin," noted a rep. "This luxurious, non-greasy body lotion absorbs quickly, without residue, resulting in hydration that leaves your skin supple and smelling delicious."

Company founder and CEO Dean Elliott noted the recognition is "the perfect way to end our year on a high note."

"The past 12 months have proven to be a challenge, but we were able to successfully launch Soothe to great interest across the industry, as well as continue shipping Sliquid lubricants to our customers across the globe," he said.

"We couldn’t continue to be a successful brand without the dedication of the Sliquid team, our retail and distribution partners and the love and support we get from our friends at XBIZ," added Elliott. "We appreciate this honor and look forward to an exciting and, hopefully, successful awards ceremony. Good luck to all of our fellow nominees."

In related news, Sliquid is celebrating two nominations from the 2022 XBIZ Exec Awards, retail edition, for Senior VP Colin Roy and for Elliott.

The 2022 XBIZ Awards will crown the best-of-the-best in adult Sunday, Jan. 9 at the historic Hollywood Palladium; select pleasure product and retail categories will be presented on Jan. 11 during the ANME/XBIZ Show.

Voting begins Wednesday, Nov. 24; click here for a full list of nominees.
