Lubricant on Shabbas

Question:

Hi, can one use liquid or silicone lubricant on Shabbos?

Answer:

It isn’t clear from your question which halachos you are referring to. My assumption is that you  are asking in regard to memareiach- smearing. If it is runny and not thick it would be permitted, however if it is thicker than that it isn’t. See the following post which talk about similar topics https://dinonline.org/2016/03/01/antibacterial-gel-on-shabbos/   https://dinonline.org/2019/12/26/lotion-on-shabbos/
