Twenty two years ago, dioxin pollution and TSS were top of the news charts because women's health was being compromised and the environment damaged by toxic carcinogens being produced by bleaching mills producing hygiene products! Believe it or not, TSS is still taking lives today and the dioxin pollution continues to rise in our environment. This is why Susie Hewson, found, owner and developer of Natracare organic and natural feminine hygiene, decided to take a stand against the industry by producing her own brand of organic, totally chlorine free, plastic free, pads and tampons. She has for the past 22 years continued to educate women, the media and category buyers in order to effect a positive and meaningful change. Polarizing corporate influences, Susie had researched alternative organic and sustainable materials that were healthier for women and environmentally sound for her range.

Unlike conventional and some "natural labeled" brands which 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 and Natracare pads are also unique in being totally plastic free, being made from GOTS certified organic cotton and FSC, totally chlorine-free pulp so they are also biodegradable and compostable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs57ig9Kcno
