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. TAMPONS?
We use titanium dioxide in our hygiene-grade thread that securely attaches the cord to the absorbent part of the tampon. It represents much less than 0.1% of all ingredients used in tampons.
We want to reassure you that our tampons are safe when used as directed. Our high-quality ingredients are rigorously assessed and meet strict safety and government regulations around the world.

We use titanium dioxide at very low levels 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.
