Period Care products that are kinder to you and the planet!
M any sanitary and incontinence pads contain plastics and chemical toxins. Switching to more eco-friendly products can make a difference. Organic Initiative (Oi to their friends) is a New Zealand company, established in 2015 with a vision of removing single use plastics from personal hygiene products. Not everyone knows that most conventional period or incontinence products have hidden plastics in them. Not so with Oi, who is constantly working to improve everyday products, and not only removing plastics but synthetics and toxic chemicals too, making these products kinder to you and our planet. Oi tampons are made from 100 percent certified organic cotton and nothing else while Oi period pads and liners are made from certified organic cotton with a corn starch backing which is not only better for its users but better for the environment too as they are biodegradable. Oi Adult Care (Incontinence) Range has a biodegradable organic cotton top sheet and FSC certified wood pulp absorbent core, definitely worth highlighting as there is not much like it available. Oi Period Range is certified to GOTS, a global standard for organic cotton and textiles. This standard measures against 17
Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Every Oi period product can be batch traced back to the manufacturer and the farm the cotton was sourced from. Furthermore, to achieve GOTS certification there are stringent ecological and social criteria, such as ensuring workers are paid a fair wage. Oi products are free from perfume, chlorine bleaching, toxic chemicals and pesticides, important when these products are used next to sensitive and absorbent parts of your body. To the earth conscious, the health minded, the eco-warriors and change makers, each time you choose an eco-friendlier option, you’re making a difference.
