Safer for farmers, farm workers, tampon users, and the environment In 1989, Susie Hewson developed the Natracare All-Cotton Tampon in Britain, as the first rayon-free, 100% pure cotton tampon since the 1930's. Hewson's idea was to address the problem of dioxin and rayon used in tampons as they appeared to adversely affect women's health issues and the environment. Natracare tampons are composed of first quality, long fiber cotton which helps reduce fiber loss/shedding. They are bleached using a safe, dioxin-free, hydrogen peroxide process. Natracare does not use chlorine or chlorine-containing compounds, such as chlorine dioxide or elemental chlorine which do produce dioxins. Natracare's tampon products contain no rayon synthetics, no binders, and no additives such as surfactants, resins or fragrances. Just PURE cotton! In 1998, Natracare developed the first CERTIFIED ORGANIC Applicator tampon and in 1999, the first Non-Applicator CERTIFIED ORGANIC tampons. They are certified by the OCIA and Soil Association (Europe) which assures that Natracare tampons are certified from the growing of the cotton, through the processing and manufacturing of the tampons. Also, they are organically grown and processed in accordance with the California Organic Food Act of 1990. Additionally, this product is certified by the European body, THE SOIL ASSOCIATION. This cotton is GMO-free which means that it is not genetically engineered. Ingredients: 16 Super. 100% Cotton. Certified* Organic & GMO Free. Non-Chlorine Bleached.
