We’ve broken down some of our favorite brands that have backstories or initiatives worth getting behind. Whether you're shopping for yourself or someone else in your life, you’ll be sure to find something you like. 

Holistic care: Rael 

Three women were frustrated with the lack of healthy, comfortable, and high-quality feminine care products on the market so they set out to create their own. Fast forward three years and you have Rael, reaching people in 19 countries and counting with a goal of global distribution. With a focus on organic and quality feminine products like tampons and pads, they expanded their line to include skincare products, hygiene products and more. 

Beyond their beautiful branding and focus on “premium but accessible” products, Rael has powerful initiatives at its core. Their goal is to make sustainable and organic feminine products the standard around the world while also destigmatizing how people talk about periods and feminie health. The team also works on giveback programs in the United States to educate about the inequality of access to feminine hygiene products while working to raise the standard of accessibility.
