Natracare

When Susie Hewson, founder, owner and developer of Natracare organic and natural feminine hygiene, learned the horrifying truths about conventional sanitary protection. Deciding to take a stand against the industry, Susie produced her own brand of organic, totally chlorine free, plastic free, pads and tampons. Polarizing corporate influences, Susie researched alternative organic and sustainable materials that were healthier for women and environmentally sound. For the past 25 years, Susie has continued to educate women, the media and category buyers in order to effect a positive and meaningful change.

Unlike conventional and some “natural labelled” brands which still today continue to use synthetics such as polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene and especially rayon, known to be an increased risk for tampon related Toxic Shock Syndrome, Natracare tampons are made using only GM free, GOTS certified organic, 100% cotton. Natracare pads are totally plastic free, made from GOTS certified organic cotton and FSC, totally chlorine-free pulp so they are also biodegradable and compostable.

Natracare is an independently accredited, ethical company which continues to invest in life changing projects around the world supporting women and their communities in order to improve education and living standards.

With outstanding environmental credentials Natracare is respected for their transparency and honesty. Natracare is the only feminine hygiene brand to hold an Environmental Products Declaration (EPD) which is a full Lifecycle analysis. The products are approved by the Vegetarian Society and accredited by organisations such as Nordic Ecolabel, The Soil Association and The Ethical Company Organisation. Natracare is certified to an ISO Green Standard as well as a producer of a high quality product to medical device standard ISO 13485:2003. Natracare pads, liners and wipes also recently became USDA Biobased certified. For 25 years, Natracare has earned the trust and respect of women and for this they are proud.

The full range includes competitively priced ultra-thin pads with or without wings, maxi pads; 5 styles of panty liners; certified organic cotton tampons (with and without applicators); organic cotton wipes, and natural maternity pads.
