BeKind to your Body
Your skin deserves better. That’s why we avoid all fragrances, chlorine, dyes and pesticides. You’ll only find soft, breathable, natural materials in Natracare products. Chemicals and toxins in personal care products can potentially have long-term health effects.
Let’s choose products that are kind on our bodies.
168 Chemicals
from just 12 products, is the average number of chemicals a woman puts on their body every day, according to the Environmental Working Group.
That’s 12 opportunities to be kinder to the body in our daily routines.
Be Kind to the Planet
Tampons, pads, and panty liners, as well as their packaging and wrapping, generate more than 200 million kilograms of waste every year1. With an estimated 170 trillion plastic particles in our oceans2, it’s time to take a stand and choose plant based products that can be composted and returned to nature.
170 trillion plastic particles
weighing approximately 2 million tonnes, are estimated to be floating in the world’s oceans.
Be Kind to Others
Kindness Impact
Kindness boosts wellbeing and health. By being kind to our bodies, the planet and others, we can in turn reduce inflammation within our bodies.
Recent studies have found that those performing regular acts of kindness had lower levels of systemic inflammation, which could reduce the risk of many major diseases3.
