Ingredients and Purposes


All ingredients are listed by order of predominance, meaning that the largest concentration of an ingredient is listed at the top and it moves down by amount.



INGREDIENTS PURPOSE
Cellulose An absorbent fiber made from wood pulp that absorbs fluid.
Polyethylene A common material used in fibers and films. We use it to deliver softness, breathability, and protection.
Polyester A common fiber found in many fabrics or textiles. We use it in our products to deliver softness 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.
Styrene/Isoprene Copolymer A main component used in an adhesive.
Styrene/Butadiene Copolymer A main component of an adhesive.
Mineral Oil A clear odorless liquid used routinely to help keep skin soft and smooth. It is also used as a component of adhesives.
Acetate/Ethylene/Hydroxymethylacrylamide/Acrylamide Copolymer Holds together the layers of the center core that absorbs fluid for a comfortable and dry wearing experience.
Titanium Dioxide Titanium Dioxide (also known as Pigment White 6) 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. Titanium dioxide is safe when used in our personal care products.
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.
