Natural Women’s Products by Cora

Many women in the United States don’t think twice about going to the store to purchase feminine products. With many options in brands, sizes, colors and even fragrance, we forget others around the world do not have such a luxury. Cora changes the way women receive products, providing a healthier, more sustainable way that is good for the environment and body.

Founder Molly Hayward traveled the world and took notice of how girls and women in poverty are negatively affected by their natural monthly occurrence of menstruation, with some using tree bark, newspapers, old mattress padding and even animal dung as makeshift menstrual products. Creating the Cora brand, Hayward knew social impact needed to be the concentration of her business model.

Cora aims to empower girls around the word by providing health education and organic cotton pads, tampons and liners to those unable to purchase them for themselves. For each month’s supply Cora sells, they provide products to a girl in need.

Some of new products not specifically for that time of the month include a Calming Body Oil made of lavender, marjoram and sage with a roller ball for a mess-free application; and a Period Balm that sooths and warms the skin upon application. Both of these products help ease the uncomfortable aches and bloating that come with having a monthly period.
