Understanding Organic Certifications: What GOTS and ICEA Mean for Your Health

When it comes to menstrual products, choosing the right one is crucial for both your health and the environment. Organic certifications, like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and ICEA (Italian Organic Certification), play a vital role in ensuring that the products you use meet the highest standards of safety, ethical manufacturing, and environmental sustainability.

What is GOTS Certification?

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is one of the most recognized certifications for organic fabrics. It guarantees that the cotton used in products like Tampon Tribe’s tampons and pads is grown without harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. More than just an organic label, GOTS ensures that the entire production process — from cotton farming to the final product — meets rigorous environmental and social criteria. This includes fair wages for workers, safe working conditions, and minimal environmental impact.

The Role of ICEA Certification

The Italian Organic Certification (ICEA) focuses on ensuring that menstrual products are made from organic materials, processed in ways that are both safe and sustainable. ICEA-certified products undergo strict testing for purity, ensuring they are free from chemicals and toxins that could harm your body. For consumers, ICEA guarantees peace of mind knowing that the products are produced using methods that respect both human health and the environment.

Understanding certifications like GOTS and ICEA empowers you to make informed choices about the menstrual products you use. These labels represent a commitment to safety, ethics, and environmental responsibility, ensuring that your health is protected while also supporting a more sustainable world. Choose wisely, choose organic, and trust in certifications that make a difference for your body and the planet.
