Made only from 100% Certified Organic Cotton - No synthetics, additives, or chlorine bleaches - GMO Free Why Organic Tampons? In 1989, Natracare was developed as a direct response to health and environmental concerns about dioxin pollution caused by chlorine bleaching, the use of rayon in tampons, and the extensive use of pesticides on conventionally grown cotton. For over 15 years, Natracare has been trusted by women who see the good sense in making a natural choice in tampons, pads, panty liners and feminine wipes for their monthly cycle. It makes sense to choose a tampon that is made from only certified organic cotton to avoid unnecessary exposure to chemical residuals and synthetics. Natracare Organic cotton tampons and chemical free pads are high quality products made from only pure and natural materials that are not chlorine bleached and are free of rayon, plastics and synthetic materials. It’s what we don’t put in our tampons that makes Natracare different Women today are conscious of the need to restrict their contact with synthetic materials. Natracare organic 100% cotton tampons are guaranteed to be GMO free. 50% of the cotton grown in the world is genetically modified, of which about 45% goes to fibre, the rest to cotton oil and cotton seed, commonly used for animal feeds. It is likely that unless the cotton is certified organic, tampons could contain genetically modified cotton. This is clearly an environmental consideration.
