Every year we provide funding to non- profit, community-based organizations around the world that increase sustainable access to period care products, menstrual health education, and employment opportunities.

ABOUT L.

L. was founded by Talia Frenkel, a photojournalist who worked for the Red Cross and United Nations. After documenting humanitarian crises around the world, her coverage of women's lack of access to reproductive rights and the effects of HIV/AIDS on young girls inspired her into action.

WHAT IS TITANIUM DIOXIDE (TiO2) AND IS IT SAFE?

Titanium dioxide is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found in many personal care products as a pigment. The use of titanium dioxide in cosmetics, foods, pharmaceuticals and medical devices has been reviewed and concluded to be safe by many agencies globally.

WHY IS TITANIUM DIOXIDE USED IN L. PADS AND LINERS?

We use titanium dioxide at very low levels in our pads and liners (not tampons) to help deliver the experience consumers expect from our pad and liner products, as they provide opacity to the layers giving you the protection and quality you expect.

We want to reassure you that our pads can be used safely and our high-quality ingredients are rigorously assessed and meet strict safety and government regulations around the world.
