How does TOTM work with sustainability?
It’s hard enough to have to deal with ‘that time of the month’ to always consider the impacts of the products we use for it. The truth is that single-use menstrual products contain plastics and chemicals, including artificial absorbents, fragrances, dyes and chlorine bleach. After use, most of them end up in landfills where they can take up to 500 years to decompose. Do we really want to be putting unnatural ingredients in and around our bodies?
Whilst Saalt’s period pants and menstrual cups are a fantastic alternative to the traditional sanitary pads and tampons, they aren’t always suitable for trips away, or nights out. TOTM’s range of organic cotton period care is GOTS and B Corp certified, cruelty-free, and vegan.
Without a standardised framework across the industries we research, DELAH adopts a qualitative approach to measuring the social value of a brand. We conduct thorough analysis, looking specifically for relevant certifications, to determine the social, environmental, and ethical impact of a brands range of products and/or services.
Our commitment to quality is reflected in our standards. DELAH does not endorse brands, products, or services who fail to acknowledge, understand, or address their impact. All items or services featured in the #DELAHSustainable portfolio transparently demonstrate responsibility socially, environmentally, and ethically.
While we strive to ensure the integrity of the brands we highlight, it is important to note that DELAH is not liable for any actions or misconduct by the brands we endorse. Our evaluations are based on the information available at the time of review.
Responsible luxury exists, and DELAH exists to bring those products and services to light.
