Small actions can make a big impact
Together we’re making a positive impact with our period care and personal care product lines.
PERIOD CARE
Unfolding a #NewPeriod
Consider the amount of waste created each month by disposable period products, the chemicals they often contain, that we put inside our bodies and the young people who stay away from school because they are ashamed of their periods.
For the past years, we’ve fought enormous stigma with our menstrual cup and strong community.
500 years
is how long it can take for pads and tampons to degrade.
48%
of girls in the UK feel embarrassed by their period.
1 in 10
African girls miss school during their period.

Environmental impact
Unlike disposable period products, the menstrual cup is reusable for years and has a minimal impact on the environment compared to pads and tampons.
2 years of period products:
528 pads/tampons
or
1 AllMatters menstrual cup
Our impact so far
>1,300 tons
of tampon/pad waste saved by cup users
>313M
disposable period products avoided
Cultural impact
Periods are still surrounded by stigma and taboos everywhere – we want to elevate conversations in our platforms in a down-to-earth and truthful way. From supporting initiatives that promote this goal, to not shying away from the word ‘period’ or using blue liquid instead of red.
Work with health professionals
We work with school nurses, as well as gynaecologists by offering samples and informational material so they can educate people about menstrual health and product.
'What Happens When Friends Talk Openly About Menstrual Cups?'
What starts out as an awkward conversation becomes interesting, honest and insightful. We wanted to capture exactly that. Watch video.
Social impact
Around the world, period poverty is limiting people who menstruate from exercising their basic rights, like going to school, work or even just socialising. We work with NGOs in developing and developed countries to ensure those in need have access to period products and receive menstrual health education.
Our impact so far
>15,000 donations
of menstrual cups
>60 partners
in more than 27 countries
PERSONAL CARE
Impactful everyday routines
The AllMatters personal care range was developed with reduction of single-use plastics in mind.

No single-use plastic
Our reusable aluminium bottle and refill system defies the idea that hand/body wash needs to come in single-use plastic bottles.
1 year’s use of hand wash in an average household:
12 disposable bottles
or
1 AllMatters bottle + 6 refills

Clean and conscious formulas
Our powder-to-foam formula avoids harsh ingredients, fragrances and dyes – including only the necessary ingredients.
It doesn’t even include water, which allows for minimized packaging and shipping volume. Ultimately contributing to lower carbon emissions.
