Science Tells The Story
The Problem
What's Really In Your Toilet Paper?
Conventional toilet paper touches your most sensitive tissue — daily, for a lifetime. The science on what's in it is alarming.
ACS / University of Florida · 2023
PFAS Found in Every Sample
Researchers tested 21 toilet paper brands globally and found PFAS "forever chemicals" — including 6:2 diPAP — in every single sample tested. Conventional and recycled alike.
World Health Organization
Chlorine Bleaching Creates Dioxins
The WHO classifies dioxins as highly toxic, persistent environmental pollutants. Chlorine bleaching of wood pulp — used in most conventional toilet paper — is a known source.

Recycled TP Transfers BPA
Recycled toilet paper can contain BPA transferred from thermal receipt paper. BPA is a known endocrine disruptor linked to hormonal disruption and developmental effects.
Bamboo skips the wood-to-pulp chemical conversion entirely. No chlorine bleach needed. No recycled receipt contamination. See the full science →
