Rif care Launches Hemp-Based Period Products

A new hemp-based line of period care products has launched this month, adding another body- and Earth-friendly option to the growing natural hygiene market.

Val Emanuel, a Southern California native, conceived the idea for Rif care (Regenerative International Female Inc.) a few years ago while looking into some of the terms and ingredients in feminine hygiene products that she didn’t understand.

“My ex founded a company called Circular Systems, and he works a lot with hemp—he’s been working with textiles for 25 years,” she says. “I was traveling the world with him and I realized there are so many applications for hemp that we weren’t utilizing yet. One industrial use I thought could be great is as an absorbent material, so that’s how the original concept came about.”
