Your Questions, Our Answers
Do the Always FlexFoam have a scent or fragrance? Is it safe to use products with a fragrance?
Only Always Radiant FlexFoam has a light, clean scent which is designed to make odor free periods possible, as an option for consumers who prefer that benefit. All other FlexFoam pads are unscented. The fragrance used in Always Radiant FlexFoam meets the strict safety standards set by the International Fragrance Association, the world's leading authority on fragrance safety. We recommend our unscented products, such as Always Infinity FlexFoam and Always Pure Cotton FlexFoam, for those who prefer fragrance-free products or who may be sensitive to fragrances.
Who are the Skin Health Alliance? What does it mean to have a Skin Health Alliance Accreditation?

We help consumers feel confident in their choices by reassuring them products have been independently verified as skin safe. We're also proud to support a range of skin charities and good causes through our work." For more info visit
