Organ(y)c – a range of 100% organic cotton feminine care, baby and beauty products
Many conventional sanitary products contain masses of unnecessary plastics and chemicals, which prevent the product from breaking down naturally. The average sanitary pad may contain 90% plastic, which is the equivalent to four plastic bags, and can take up to 500 years to break down. In the UK, a staggering 11 billion wet wipes are used every year. Thames 21 (the voice of London’s waterways) collected nearly 10,000 wet wipes from just one location on the Thames over a two-year period. The average female is said to use 11,000 disposable, one-time-use menstrual products in her lifetime, with 70% of women reportedly flushing tampons down the toilet (stats: London Assembly, 2019)
Awareness Days
We are more conscious about plastic, chemicals and disposable use, but we also want the convenience that goes with such products.

Their different compared to other brands:
