Natracare's 100% organic cotton biodegradable absorbents are safer and more sustainable
Made with 100% organic and certified cotton, the product is safer for women's intimate health and has less environmental impact
THE Natracare , a company that offers natural products for feminine hygiene, created the first biodegradable and hypoallergenic disposable absorbent in the world. The brand brings an ecological alternative to the traditional disposable absorbent, which has enormous environmental impacts throughout its life cycle. the absorbent of Natracare it is mainly composed of a biodegradable outer film of cornstarch, 100% organic cotton coating, cellulose fibers, glycerin, rose extracts, chamomile and organic marigolds. This more natural composition facilitates its return to nature - through biodegradation - after use.
After all, what are disposable, hypoallergenic biodegradable absorbents?
Ecological
The brand makes feminine absorbents using only natural materials in its manufacturing process. The product is free of chemical additives, artificial colorings, fragrances and synthetic substances (plastic, superabsorbent polymers, polyacrylates, latex). THE Natracare uses certified organic cotton in the manufacture of its sanitary pads. Organic cotton cultivation significantly reduces the environmental impact of production. A study (based on producers from the five countries that are at the top of the world's largest organic cotton growers - India, China, Turkey, Tanzania and the USA) shows that, compared to regular cotton, there are large reductions in: water consumption, emissions of gases, acidification, eutrophication and primary energy demand. Conclusion: the production of organic cotton proved to be 46% less impacting on global warming than conventional cotton.
The absorbents of Natracare are not tested on animals (it is a vegan product) and are 95% biodegradable. Products are still packaged in 100% recycled fine paper boxes and envelopes. The manufacturer attests that the product does not go through a bleaching process (the process by which the cellulose obtains a white color) with chlorine - when bleaching is carried out with chlorine, a by-product called dioxin is created, which produces extremely harmful effects on the environment and is associated with health problems. the absorbents Natracare are dioxin-free, as the company uses an oxygen-based bleaching process to purify its products.
The cellulose used in the composition of the brand's absorbents comes from reforested forests and, to obtain maximum absorption power without the use of synthetic polymers (such as the superabsorbent polymer used in traditional disposable absorbents), there is a greater use of cellulose in the absorbents of the Natracare when compared to traditional sanitary pads.
women's welfare
Synthetic materials, chemical additives and residues (dioxins) from bleaching with chlorine, when present in intimate pads, can cause allergies, irritation or itching, and even thrush. Therefore, the absorbents Natracare, as they do not have chemical and synthetic products, they are hypoallergenic and reduce the risk of allergies. The use of cotton as a raw material allows the place to ventilate better.
