  • Brief Company Bio:

Trace is revolutionizing  menstrual care by creating the world’s first hemp fiber and Climate Beneficial ™ cotton menstrual care line, set to release in 2022. More than just period products, Trace is re-imagining tampon and pad manufacturing to actively reverse climate change and restore our relationship with the natural world. Through this powerful healing approach, we are able to innovate and trace all steps of production from agricultural practices to fiber processing. Founded in 2020, the team at Trace drew from previous experience and relationships in the health and hemp agricultural industry to move into menstrual care—an industry in serious need of revolution. Trace’s 100% plastic free tampons and biodegradable pads are made from hemp and cotton grown regeneratively, going beyond sustainability and actually healing the earth through soil restoration and carbon capture. When it comes to quality and traceability, we know every field our fiber comes from and exactly how it’s processed; we even know all our farmers and processors by name. With a background in healthcare, we value menstruators’ bodies and don’t use glyphosate or other harsh chemicals. We put the amazing, natural ingredients in our tampons front-and-center, honoring menstruating people’s autonomy in a landscape that hasn’t done so for decades. All of these innovative practices manifest a legacy of healing—ourselves, each other, and the earth.
