OUR COMMITMENT
Every woman wants what’s best for their body, that is why we are committed to deliver tampons that women can trust. From components selection to monitoring tests, our science-based approach is key to our journey of safely improving the lives of our consumers.

DOUBT
‘Doubt is the beginning, not the end of wisdom. We start with a healthy dose of skepticism about the safety of a new component. If we cannot establish both its safety and benefit to consumers, we will not use it. We make a very accurate supplier selection that complies with safety and environmental procedures. For example, our cotton is only sourced from Barnhardt Manufacturing Company, member of the Cotton LEADS™ Association, a program committed to responsibly-produced cotton.

DEFINE
We define the safe range for every component we use with the same scientific process used by regulatory agencies around the world (FDA, EPA, WHO, EU, etc.). All our components are rigorously selected, evaluated, and meet or exceed the requirements of applicable European (e.g. REACH, cosmetic regulation, in so far applicable) and French regulations. If there is not enough information to establish a safe range, we will be cautious and remove the component from consideration or investigate it further with additional data. Over 1,000 quality tests are run on tampon materials before they are used in manufacturing.

DETERMINE
We evaluate all components in the final product to confirm their actual use is within the safe range for both consumers and the environment. More precisely, we evaluate our products using very conservative exposure assumptions, as if our products were used daily for an entire lifetime. We have over 500 scientists and professionals who ensure our products meet all safety and regulatory requirements around the world. In addition, independent laboratories conduct over 10,000 tests on our tampons and their components every year.

DILIGENCE
Once the product is marketed we monitor consumer use and investigate all upcoming scientific information. We also collaborate with external scientists and regulatory agencies on new safety methods. Our full range of TAMPAX® has been certified STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX ® an independent certification which excludes or strictly limits the use of possibly harmful substances in textiles in the framework of extensive laboratory tests.
