A005 Independent tests certifying the absence of harmful substances

Every woman wants what’s best for her body, and when there’s a question about safety, we take that concern very seriously. We have the highest quality and safety standards in the industry.

1. __Components selection__
 All our components and ingredients 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. Over 1,800 quality tests are carried out on pad materials before they are used in pads.

2. __Independent certification__
 Our Always® pad portfolio of products has been accredited since 2016 by Skin Health Alliance confirming that our products have met a thorough set of skin safety requirements.

3. __Independent testing__
 Independent laboratories conduct over 20,000 tests on our pads and their components every year.

Galab is an independent European laboratory, recognised for their high quality tests. The results confirm the absence of harmful substances and more precisely of phthalates.

Make sure you use the size best adapted to your shape and flow. For additional leakage protection, try a higher size and consider changing your sanitary towel more frequently. Sanitary towels with wings provide a closer fit to you knickers that not only helps keep the pad in place but also keeps it closer to your body’s shape further reducing the risk of leakage. Check out our product recommender to find the best product for your need.

How do I avoid leaks?

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 and ingredients 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.

The frequency with which you change your sanitary pad depends on your particular flow. The heavier your flow, the more often you should change your sanitary towel to reduce the risk of leaking. The lighter your flow, the less often you may need to change your sanitary towel. It is recommended to change your sanitary towel every four to eight hours.
