Unlike conventional pads that can contain up to 90% plastic and synthetic chemicals that may cause rashes or irritation, Sparkle pads are made using natural, sustainable and renewable ingredients that are soft on your skin and gentle to the planet.
We have designed Sparkle pads by focusing on the entire product life-cycle, starting from choosing sustainable ingredients to their responsible disposal. Therefore, Sparkle pads are also compostable which means they are designed to biodegrade in warm and humid conditions.
Most conventional pads are made using non-biodegradable petrochemical by-products, artificial fragrances and dyes. When they are disposed of, they either end up in landfills (where they remain unchanged for over 500 years) or they are incinerated (which may release harmful fumes in the environment). If the used products are flushed down the toilet, they end up in oceans and water bodies, harming precious marine life.
Sparkle pads are made using biodegradable and compostable ingredients which makes them commercially compostable according to EN 13432 - this means that Sparkle pads are capable of breaking down into organic matter in 4-6 months under composting conditions and going back to nature without leaving any toxic residue. Since our back film and wrapper are made using certified home-compostable materials, it is also possible to compost Sparkle pads at home.
Conventional pads contain plastics, artificial fragrances, dyes, synthetic super absorbent polymers and many other chemicals that can make your skin itchy and uncomfortable. Synthetic SAPs can make pads unhygienically long-lasting which can promote the growth of unwanted bacteria. Plastic can create a sweaty and humid environment near your most intimate areas.
Sparkle pads do not contain polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), sodium polyacrylate, artificial fragrances, deodorants, dyes, chlorine bleach, latex, parabens, formaldehyde, dioxins, chloroform.
At Sparkle, we believe that your period care products should let your skin breathe all day long. With a feather-soft top layer made with bamboo fibre cellulose, a central core made with naturally absorbent cellulose fibre and a leak-proof bottom layer made with plant starch, Sparkle pads are good for you and good for the environment.
The best way to dispose of Sparkle pads is to compost them so they can go back to nature in the most sustainable way.
If there are composting facilities where you live, Sparkle pads are commercially compostable according to EN 13432. Since our back film and wrapper are also made using certified home-compostable materials, it is possible to compost Sparkle pads at home.
If you don’t have a compost bin, you may dispose of Sparkle pads in a normal waste bin.
