Rael

Health & Household

Rael markets itself as a clean, organic alternative to conventional period care products using certified organic cotton. However, the brand faces significant legal challenges: a 2025 California court case alleged that Rael's products are marketed as organic despite containing far less than the legally required percentage of certified organic materials and include synthetic components not permitted in organic-certified goods. Additionally, independent testing identified PFAS compounds in products carrying organic labels. While Rael does hold OCS certification and Leaping Bunny certification, the brand provides minimal disclosure on supply chain practices, labor conditions, or environmental impact metrics beyond material claims.
