Why JOMO?
How CBD works
How L’Arginine works
Our hero ingredient L’Arginine (a naturally-occurring amino acid produced by the body). One of its functions is vasodilation, meaning it helps increase blood flow. L’Arginine plays an important role in producing Nitric oxide, the production process causes blood vessels to expand thus ensuring increased blood flow. Applied topically can help with sexual issues for both men and women.
This was discovered by Dr. ARTHUR BURNETT.
Increases Intimacy
Sexual arousal aids in the production of an abundance of hormones that are released into the body and fire positive feel good rewards to the brain.
DOPAMINE, known as the “happiness hormone” is a neurotransmitter and is a chemical associated with pleasure that helps you relax and enhances feelings of wellbeing.
OXYTOCIN, known as the “love hormone” lowers cortisol levels and can help with mental health and healing.
SEROTONIN, is a neurotransmitter that helps increase your mood with feelings of happiness, optimism and satisfaction.
PROLACTIN, helps to trigger a physiological response to stress management and emotional balance.
Increased blood flow
Both CBD and L’Arginine have known vasodilatory effects. This means that it widens the blood vessels and improves blood flow.
Increased blood flow can help men maintain stronger erections and aid mild erectile dysfunction.
Increased blood flow to the vulva and vagina promotes physical arousal in women, heightens sensitivity and increases natural lubrication. Jomo was created with a womens PH in Mind and their intimate serum matching a women’s osmolality.
Menopause & Perimenopause
Menopause and perimenopause are a natural fact of life, that all women go though. However, there is scope to improve the severity of symptoms and improve the general well-being for those going through “the change”. Our Jomo products can help in alleviating a number of symptoms lined to menopause/perimenopause.
Vaginal dryness
Introducing a lubricant is a great approach to help deal with vaginal dryness brought on by menopausal symptoms. A good lubricant can help increase comfort by decreasing friction. L’Arginine can help improve cervical mucus production and improve blood circulation to the uterus supporting a healthy menstrual flow.
Mood swings
CBD acts on our serotonin system which is a key hormone in mood regulation.
Depression
Studies have shown that CBD reduces neuroinflammation and improves neurogenesis – two critical factors that fight depression in the brain.
Difficulty sleeping
Night-time symptoms in the peri menopausal phase are thought to be linked to reduced levels of GABA, our calming neurotransmitter. Plant cannabinoids may help to regulate GABA levels, and in turn reduce the severity of some perimenopausal symptoms. More GABA is linked to a calmer brain and more restful sleep.
Another factor in reduced sleep quality or difficulty sleeping is anxiety, and there are many studies showing the benefits of CBD in reducing perceived levels of anxiety.
Reduced sex drive
Topically applied CBD may help to reduce tension, stress and anxiety, which by itself can help relight a lost spark in one’s sex life. The vulva mucosa and skin surrounding the clitoris is more porous than non-genital skin, allowing for greater absorption.
Reduce anxiety
There is much research suggesting CBD is highly effective in helping to treat anxiety disorders and decrease stress levels. Calming the body can deactivate the fight or flight mode, promoting rest and enabling our parasympathetic nervous system to take over, allowing the body to restore balance.
When you clear stress, you create a healing response in the body -chronic stress creates physiological problems.
CBD is effective at relieving many issues that can interfere with arousal and sexual intimacy. One of the main causes of low libido in both men and women is heavily linked to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
Muscle Relaxant
Some research suggests that CBD can be effective at relaxing muscles. Conditions such as vaginismus, where vaginal penetration is made uncomfortable or even impossible due to involuntary tensing of the vaginal walls, can likely benefit from the muscle-relaxant benefits of CBD.
Pain
Studies suggest that CBD can help to remedy chronic pain, muscle soreness, and soft tissue injuries. One of the core reasons why women, in particular, may suffer from low libido is due to chronic pain caused by reproductive conditions such as endometriosis and polycystic ovaries. By adding a lubricant that can help aid with dryness / muscle relaxant can help relieve the symptoms of chronic pain associated with these conditions. We have formulated all our products to match a the female PH and osmolality.
FAQ's
Can I use CBD Lubricants during pregnancy ?
We always suggest asking your practitioner.
Would this be helpful for someone who has reduced orgasm sensation due to anti depressants?
This is exactly one of the reasons we started Jomo, with the CBD encouraging blood flow to the area, it helps heighten your sensation.
Where is the CBD from?
Our CBD is extracted from “industrial hemp” that is grown in California US. This is cultivated from seeds that contain less than 0.2% THC as per regulations. Instead of THC these plants are grown and nurtured so that they contain high levels of CBD. Oils are extracted under Federal Government Approval.
Can it help peri-menopausal /post menopausal women?
Menopause and perimenopause are a natural fact of life, and there is no cure. However, there is scope to improve the severity of symptoms and improve the general well-being for those going through “the change”. CBD can help in alleviating a number of symptoms lined to menopause/perimenopause.

Can Men Use Our products?
Men can totally use it! It will still have similar effects.
Arousal Oil:
The principal female-focussed ingredients is the ylang ylang due to the traditional aromatherapy benefits as an aphrodisiac in women.
The lavender (relaxing), black pepper (warming, increased circulation and of course CBD will all be equally beneficial for men, women and non-binary.
Intimate serum:
The increased blood flow helps improve stronger longer erections.
Is it full/ broad spectrum or isolate?
JOMO products are made using a Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract that contains CBD as a major cannabinoid with CBG and CBC as minor cannabinoids.
How does our CBD work when used it topical form?
CBD is a potent anti-inflammatory and may also contribute to blood flow increases at the site of application. Naturally, these attributes in combination are useful in a topical arousal product applied to erogenous zones.
What tests / research has been done on the CBD used in Jomo?
The Broad-Spectrum Hemp Extract used in Jomo has a full panel of safety analytics conducted per manufacturing batch. This includes:
Industrial Hemp Cannabinoid Testing – this shows the cannabinoid content of the extract and is the most conducted test on products of this type.
Residual Solvent Testing
Solvent like Hexane can be used to create extracts from raw hemp material. A good process will leave absolutely no trace of solvent behind in the product.
Heavy Metal Testing
Hemp is known as a ‘soil sucker’. It is prone to absorbing toxic materials from soil which is why the plant is used to control damage from chemical spills. However, this means the hemp used for CBD extracts can contain heavy metals which ultimately make it into consumer products. These tests help show that the hemp used in product creation does not contain heavy metals due to carefully controlled growing conditions.
What percentage of CBD do we use.?
JOMO products use hemp (CBD) extract at a concentration of 1% i.e. 300mg in 30ml.
Why this amount? Why not more/ less?
Hemp extract commands a high price along the supply and manufacturing chain and therefore, to the consumer. It is always a balancing act to create CBD products that use CBD at a concentration that provides benefit to the consumer without becoming prohibitively expensive to both make and purchase.
How did we chose/ decide on this percentage?
This percent represents the balancing act mentioned above. 300mg remains potent when compared to other sensual products on the market but retains a price point that, while considered luxury, is not out of reach.
Does the CBD work better with our natural ingredients?
In general, during product creation steps it is wise to consider the overall effect of the product and whether CBD alone is the best route to achieve this. CBD and other cannabinoids are fascinating, powerful molecules but there are hundreds of other useful compounds in the plant world that have been used for centuries therapeutically. This idea is at the heart of all JOMO product creation; we heighten effective plant-based products with powerful compounds like CBD, rather than using CBD on its own.
How is CBD best absorbed for better use topically or orally? If orally, what are the benefits for topical that we can present?
The best approach depends on what the product is trying to achieve. Usually, a combination approach is most effective but that is not always the case. Topical products have a local site of action i.e., they produce effects exactly where they applied. For a sensual effect, a topical product applied directly to erogenous zones make more sense than an oral product. Oral products are all about getting CBD into the blood stream for a ‘total body’ effect. Topical products are about introducing CBD to a target area for targeted effect. We may develop an oral arousal oil but our current JOMO product is designed for targeting specific surfaces of the body.
