Saalt
Apparel/Personal CareHeadquartered in United States
Saalt is a Boise-based period care brand (founded 2018, ~38 employees) offering reusable menstrual cups, discs, and period underwear made from medical-grade silicone. The brand maintains B Corp certification with rigorous third-party PFAS testing confirming safety; products are explicitly designed to replace thousands of single-use disposables over a 10-year lifespan, with the company achieving Plastic Negative status by removing more plastic from the environment than it produces. Saalt commits 1% of revenue to global period equity initiatives, having donated over 158,000 products to women and girls in 56 countries, alongside funding menstrual health education and water/sanitation projects. Key strength: transparent PFAS testing and documented environmental impact. Key gap: limited public supply chain audit documentation and no external labor certification beyond the stated Supplier Code of Conduct.
