Dear woman, first of all, we want to confirm once again the promise we made you from the very beginning: with ENROUSH, you are safe!

Maybe you've heard the news, maybe you've seen the news on social media... The results of recent studies are worrying, and unfortunately reflect the reality for millions of women who use conventional menstrual products. But NOT for women in the Enroush community!

Our mission has been from the beginning to offer you safe products that do not endanger your health. That's why today we want to talk about everything researchers have discovered, the danger of toxic metals in regular tampons, and what steps we've taken to make sure we're giving you 100% healthy care!

Arsenic, lead and other toxic metals found in tampons: the world's first study on the subject

This is the latest study published on the tampons that billions of women use month after month during menstruation. It is available HERE , and we invite you to read it too.

We are almost 4 billion women on earth, and about 52% to 86% use tampons during menstruation according to statistics, so it is especially important to know what these products contain that end up in our bodies every month.

So a team of researchers from 4 renowned universities in California, New York and Michigan, measured for the first time the level of lead, arsenic, nickel, mercury, cadmium, copper and other toxic metals in tampons.

They found that non-organic tampons contained higher amounts of lead and organic tampons contained more arsenic. And the quantities of the other metals discovered vary depending on the brand, but also on the markets on which they are traded (Europe, Great Britain or the USA). But the conclusion is clear: all tampons evaluated were contaminated, and such compounds entering the body can endanger women's health.

The study raises the alarm: we need information, accountability and safe alternatives

Revolting, but also encouraging - that's how we would describe the result obtained from the measurements.

Outrageous, because it confirms that countless dangerous substances are hidden in tampons on the market without our knowledge, which can expose us to serious health risks. Substances that can be absorbed into our body by the vaginal tissue, much more permeable than other parts of the body, and can cause hormonal imbalances or problems with the nervous and cardiovascular systems.

Outrageous, because in almost 100 years since the first tampon was invented in 1931, no study has been done on the content of metals and metalloids in tampons - only a few measurements indicating the presence of dioxin, phthalates, fragrances, compounds volatile organic compounds and other harmful chemicals. Only now, in July 2024, was the first paper published in which researchers measured the amounts of 16 hazardous metals in 30 tampons.

Outrageous because all these metals were found in all tampons examined, and researchers say that for metals like lead, there is no "safe" level of exposure.

But also encouraging, because at least now we KNOW. Women are finally aware of the risks they are exposed to and the acute need to be informed, to know exactly what is in the tampons they use. The world is now discussing and sounding the alarm about the need for legal regulation of intimate hygiene products, and that in itself is a step forward for women's health.

ENROUSH, a safe solution and 100% healthy care right from the start

Did I tell you what the story of the ENROUSH brand is? Our products were born precisely when we realized that in the tampons on the market there are so many harmful substances for the vaginal flora and the intimate balance - here it is now officially confirmed. We needed a natural alternative that would give us the care that we, and the planet, deserve.

From our women's need for safe menstrual care products, made from natural, organic ingredients, without any toxic substances - that's how ENROUSH was born. YOU and your health have been at the center of our mission since the beginning!

That's why we created menstrual products:

• Made of 100% organic cotton, GOTS certified. The GOTS certificate is the global standard for organic textiles, and confirms that organic cotton fibers are grown and processed according to the strictest standards, without fertilizers or pesticides.

• Without any toxic substances. No dioxins, chlorine, dyes, fragrances, synthetic fibers, plastic, allergens or other harmful chemicals. Only Nature's purest ingredients, safe for your skin and body.

• With all ingredients listed on the label. Absolute transparency, because you need to know exactly what's in your menstrual products: only clean, natural ingredients you know and can trust.

• Hypoallergenic, with neutral pH. To offer you the gentlest care during the delicate period of the month and every day of the menstrual cycle, from delicate ingredients even for sensitive skin. And to forget about allergies and irritation during menstruation!

• Gynecologically and dermatologically tested and approved. Because you deserve peace of mind that you're making a safe choice for your reproductive health.

• 

We are more than a business. We are a brand dedicated to feminine hygiene and care!

Precisely because we knew from the beginning about the potential risks of other products on the market, precisely because we are aware of the dangers to which various substances expose you, at ENROUSH we have always put the safety of the products we offer you first.

We strictly follow demanding measures: It is our promise that YOUR safety is our priority

We set out to start a change, and make healthy menstrual care accessible to as many women as possible.

Therefore, although manufacturers are not legally obliged to register hygiene products, and many ingredients are exempt from REACH standards, we have chosen to go beyond these requirements and proactively follow many other official recommendations, codes of practice and considerations current toxicology:

1. All our ingredients are carefully selected in accordance with the General Product Safety Directive 2001/95/EC and, from 14 December 2024, the General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 and the German LFGB standards.

2. We have identified which ingredients are used in our products and from which suppliers.

3. We have identified the product group (substances/preparations/articles) and the ordered quantities of each ingredient.

4. We have identified which ingredients are imported from outside the EU.

5. We have drawn up the declaration of compliance with explicit questions related to REACH, approved by an external toxicologist.

6. We actively monitored the actions proposed by Edana / the European Union.

And based on all the information we have, we can confirm that none of our ingredients or products contain SVHCs (substances of very high concern) in concentrations greater than 0.1% (w/w), which are mentioned in:

With ENROUSH, you are safe!

Yes, some products on the market are opaque and may hide harmful substances, but Enroush is NOT one of them. We believe it is unacceptable to expose yourself to such dangerous substances as lead and arsenic without even knowing it, and that is why we have chosen to offer you a safer and healthier way.

So, our dear, use Enroush's 100% organic absorbent pads and tampons with confidence. You have always been, are and will be at the heart of everything we do, and the safety of our products for your health is non-negotiable.

Sincerely,
The brand you can trust,
ENROUSH
