INGREDIENTS PURPOSE
Wood Pulp The main component of our tissue and towel products. In our absorbent hygiene products, it helps absorb wetness and store it away.
Polypropylene A common material in fibers and films. Used to deliver softness, durability, and protection.
Polyethylene A common material used in fibers and films. We use it to deliver softness, breathability, and protection.
Hydrocarbon Resin/Résine Hydrocarbonée A component of an adhesive.
Sodium Polyacrylate A superabsorbent material that pulls in and absorbs fluid for wetness protection.
Pigment White 6 Pigment White 6 (also known as Titanium Dioxide) can be used in some materials made from polymers, fibers, and films as a colorant providing white opacity and brightness. Titanium Dioxide is a naturally occurring, odorless mineral in a wide range of products, such as cosmetics, food, and personal care. Pigment White 6 is safe when used in our personal care products.
Styrene/Isoprene Copolymer A main component used in an adhesive.
Water Use as a liquid base of a product and helps keep ingredients combined, and helps clean skin. It can also be a component of many materials.
Tris(2,4-Ditert-Butylphenyl) Phosphite A common antioxidant used in personal care products to protect from breakdown and help ensure the quality, integrity and safety of the product.
PEG-10 Castor Oil Applied to materials or fibers to enhance the feel, breathability, absorbency, or the ability of a material to repel fluid.
PEG-15 Cocoate Applied to materials or fibers to enhance the feel, breathability, absorbency, or the ability of a material to repel fluid.
Diethylhexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate Applied to materials or fibers to enhance the feel, breathability, absorbency, or the ability of a material to repel fluid.
PEG-10 Oleate Applied to materials or fibers to enhance the feel, breathability, absorbency, or the ability of a material to repel fluid.
Styrene/Butadiene Copolymer A main component of an adhesive.
Acetate/Ethylene/Hydroxymethylacrylamide/Acrylamide Copolymer Holds together the layers of the center core that absorbs fluid for a comfortable and dry wearing experience.
Mineral Oil A clear odorless liquid used routinely to help keep skin soft and smooth. It is also used as a component of adhesives.
Ethylene/Propylene Copolymer Used in our nonwoven fabrics to deliver softness, durability, and protection.
Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate A common antioxidant used in personal care products to protect from breakdown and help ensure the quality, integrity and safety of the product.
Stearamide DEA Applied to materials or fibers to enhance the feel, breathability, absorbency, or the ability of a material to repel fluid.
Deceth-4 Phosphate Applied to materials or fibers to enhance the feel, breathability, absorbency, or the ability of a material to repel fluid.
Pigment Blue 15 A colorant used to color a material or in a printing ink to provide a decorative design. The colorants we use are evaluated to ensure they are safe and non-sensitizing.
Pigment Violet 23 A colorant used to color a material or in a printing ink to provide a decorative design. The colorants we use are evaluated to ensure they are safe and non-sensitizing.
PEG-10 Dimethicone Applied to materials or fibers to enhance the feel, breathability, absorbency, or the ability of a material to repel fluid.
C12-14 Sec-Pareth-3 Applied to materials or fibers to enhance the feel, breathability, absorbency, or the ability of a material to repel fluid.
PEG-10 Laurate Applied to materials or fibers to enhance the feel, breathability, absorbency, or the ability of a material to repel fluid.
Polyoxyethylene, Lauryl Ether, Phosphate, Potassium Salt Applied to materials or fibers to enhance the feel, breathability, absorbency, or the ability of a material to repel fluid.
Laureth-10 Applied to materials or fibers to enhance the feel, breathability, absorbency, or the ability of a material to repel fluid.
