Hempress Hygienics, the next-generation period and personal care brand is committed to harnessing the power of hemp to make sustainable and intentional hemp-based personal care products mainstream, has launched its initial product line, which includes the market’s first 100% organic hemp and cotton-based day pads, night pads, liners, swabs, cosmetic pads and silicone menstrual cups. 

“We’re so excited to introduce consumers and retailers to the power of hemp via our intentional and sustainable product line,” says Hempress cofounder and CEO Marilyn Austin. “Our goal is to create a positive impact with products that will transform, but not disrupt people’s preferences and routines. We recognize that consumers prefer disposable personal care products and are proud to have created sustainable, disposable alternatives that prioritize both user health and that of the environment. By utilizing hemp, we have tapped into a remarkable natural resource that aligns with our commitment to fostering healthier and more conscious lifestyles – leveraging the ancient wisdom of hemp to solve modern day problems.” 

The launch ushers in a new era of sustainable and intentional products that prioritize both personal well-being and environmental conservation. Hempress intentionally reimagines the personal care items we use every day to be 100% organic, biodegradable and regenerative – reinforcing the connection between humans and the greater ecosystem. The brand is passionate about inspiring a wider industry shift towards hemp-based products free from synthetic fibers and plastics, as hemp is water efficient, anti-microbial, carbon negative, non-toxic, replenishes soil with key nutrients and offers the benefit of breathability for the user.

“By bringing our hemp-based pads, liners, and cosmetic basics to the forefront, we aim to empower individuals to take a more holistic approach to personal care and make informed choices about the products they use on their bodies. We are passionate about closing the loop on all products and being transparent every step of the way, sharing all product and supply chain information on our website to ensure all information is accessible at all times,” adds cofounder McKenna Avery. “The traditional period and personal care industries are unsustainable and typically shrouded in mystery. It’s our goal to lead the charge in navigating a more viable, transparent and sustainable path forward for the industry as a whole.” 

All Hempress Hygienics products are Oeko-Tex class one certified, rigorously tested, gynecologist and dermatologist-approved, hypoallergenic, and free from fragrance and dye – ensuring users aren’t exposed to hormone disruptors, toxins, irritants and allergens.
