Yes. OVO pads are Dermatest® certified, Allergy Certified®, Made Safe™, and Australian Certified Toxic-Free®. OVO is free from artificial fragrances, dyes and harsh chemicals, designed to be gentle, breathable, and irritation-free, even for the most sensitive skin. That having been said, your actions matter. Be sure to use the right pad for your flow, and change it every 4 hours or less to keep dry. See our Certification page for more details.

OVO pads are industrially compostable* according to the EN 13432:2000 standard. It means the material is designed to break down into compost within the specific conditions and timeframe of a large-scale, commercial composting facility. These facilities use controlled temperatures, humidity, and aeration to accelerate the composting process, which differs from home composting. 

The EN 13432 standard, a European standard, describes the requirements for packaging that can be recovered by composting and biodegradation, and provides a test scheme and evaluation criteria for the final acceptance of the packaging. Although biodegradable materials can return to nature and disappear completely, they sometimes leave residue behind. Industrially compostable* materials, on the other hand, make a nutrient-packed product called humus, which is great for plants. In short, these products are biodegradable, but there is an added benefit.” (See source)

Every OVO pad is 100% plastic-free, from the absorbent core to the wrapper. By choosing plant-based materials and industrially compostable* designs, we help keep harmful plastics out of landfills and oceans.

Every OVO purchase supports a cycle of positive impact:

• Tree planting through our OVO GROVE program.
• Plastic reduction through a 100% plastic-free design.
• Cleaner ecosystems via industrially compostable* pads.

Every pad you buy makes a measurable difference, for your health, for the planet, and for someone’s future. (See OVO IMPACT page for more details).
