Being A Conscious Beauty is about living a life that follows a holistic approach to beauty, both inside and out. For us, this means making conscious choices every day about the products that touch our skin. It is being confident that what you put on your skin, is as clean and natural as that green smoothie you devoured this morning.
One product often hidden from view (but plays a pivotal role every month for a large part of a women’s life) are personal hygiene products. Yes we are talking about tampons and pads. Yes Tampons and pads ladies!
One of my little secrets is that I have a number of girl crushes on female entrepreneurs (sprung!). One woman who recently stood out to me, is Aimee Marks and her Australian born and bred company – TOM Organic. She is all things tampons and pads, and her mission that started as a teenager has become an amazing organic product with a huge vision. While I could chat all day about her entrepreneurial skills, we should probably get down to the nitty-gritty of WHY organic tampons?
Why organic cotton personal hygiene products?
TOM Organic believes the choice to go organic is three-fold, it is about caring about your body, your soul and the environment. TOM tells us:
[su_quote]Non-organic feminine hygiene products are commonly made from synthetics, plastics and conventional cotton. There are massive chemical processes involved in the production of both rayon and polypropylene while conventional cotton is the most heavily sprayed crop in the world, using more than 25% of the world’s total insecticides.

Why would you want to put all those chemicals in the most sacred part of a women’s body? It may cost you a couple of extra dollars a month to go organic, but you will have the peace of mind that your lady bits and the environment are protected. If that doesn’t convince you, you should check out the packaging – its rather pretty and inspiring!
