Tampax Pearl Light Tampons

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Tampax Pearl Light Tampons scores 26/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Tampax Pearl Light Tampons lists 9 ingredients, starting with Rayon, Cotton, Polypropylene, Polyester and Polyethylene. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 26/100 Tampax Pearl Light Tampons scores worse than most feminine care we have scored. A higher-scoring option in feminine care is Siempre Intimate Wash Emulsion Sensitive at 29/100.
