Media Release: First Time Mums Get a Green Start

First time Mums want to give newborns the best possible start to life. Choices around maternity and baby products will not only impact on the health of the mother and baby, but also on the world that the newborn will grow up in. Natracare offers an environmentally ethical and healthy way for women to get a green start into motherhood!

"As a mother I did not realise that chlorine bleaching, used in many conventional personal care products, produce unwanted by-products called dioxins. As I now know, dioxins have been linked to cancer, endometriosis and immune system suppression. Natracare's new mother maternity pads, new mother nursing pads and organic cotton baby wipes are totally dioxin free, environmentally friendly and provide new mothers with an untainted choice," says Sam Cookson, of Oz Natural Products Pty Ltd.

Free from parabens, phenoxyethanol and formaldehyde releasing preservatives, commonly used in conventional and some natural wipes, Natracare's baby wipes are made from 100% organic cotton and plant-derived materials. Soft enough to pamper and strong enough to get the job done, Natracare's baby wipes are ideal for delicate skin. Organic essential oils of Apricot, Chamomile and Linden, sooth and relax, keeping baby's skin soft and nourished.

Natracare's new mother maternity pads and new mother nursing pads are made from all natural, plant derived materials. Totally chlorine free (TCF), the pads are made without harsh additives and super absorbents, making them ideal for new mothers with sensitive skin. Derived from ecologically-managed forests the cellulose is leak-proof, sustainable and natural. Unlike Natracare, many conventional nursing pads are made from plastics and synthetics that can taint the taste of mother's breast milk.

All Natracare products are between 95% and 100% biodegradable and are free from plastics, polycrylate superabsorbents, petrolieum derivatives, synthetic ingredients and perfumes.

A range of more than nineteen high quality, feminine personal hygiene products, are offered by Natracare, including curved and straight pads with and without wings; three styles of panty liner; certified 100% organic tampons (with and without applicators); and certified organic cotton feminine wipes without parabens. Natracare tampons conform to the Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA) absorbency ranges.

Natracare stands for more than just natural products. Natracare is committed to offering organic and natural solutions for personal health care that leave a soft footprint on the earth.

Natracare products can be purchased in key health food shops, chemists and pharmacies. Visit www.natracare.com for further information.
