Natracare

Natracare is an ethical society created in 1989 by Susie Hewson.

It all started when Susie watched a documentary about the growing danger of dioxin pollution to the health and the environment. This dioxin results from the chlorine bleaching of paper products in the paper industry. Susie Hewson was infuriated by the indifference of major international brands of feminine hygiene products.

Revolted, the founder of Natracare developed an alternative which respects women's bodies and the planet. It is the first in the world to offer an alternative to traditional feminine hygiene products, including the world's first certified organic cotton tampons and completely chlorine-free panty liners and sanitary napkins.

Unlike conventional sanitary napkins which are made of almost 90% plastic, Natracare pads are made from compostable, biodegradable and renewable materials, including organic cotton.

In addition, Natracare pads are made of natural materials protecting women's skin against direct contact with irritating synthetic and chemical products found in conventional hygienic pads.

Rewarded for its action, Natracare is committed to providing organic and natural solutions through its care products, which aim at preserving the Earth's resources and hence respecting future generations.

Organic and natural materials are used for all Natracare feminine hygiene products and baby care products. These materials meet very strict biological, environmental and biodegradable standards.

Natracare has the following certifications among others: Triodos Bank (Women In Ethical Business Awards), Ethical Award, Soil Association Organic, Vegetarian Society Vegan Approved and Made Safe.
