In recent times, our community has been awakened to a concerning reality—a revelation highlighted in an April 2024 report by Mamavation, which found that "a shocking 65 percent of the bandages tested had evidence of 'forever chemicals,'" known as Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). These findings have intensified the dialogue around the potential health risks of PFAS, including "hormone disruption, reproductive issues, and even cancer," making the urgency for safer alternatives clearer than ever.

At TruColour, we've been closely following these developments with a vested interest. Since our inception in 2014, our mission has extended beyond honoring and celebrating the beauty of diversity through our skin-tone inclusive bandages. We are dedicated to ensuring this celebration does not come at the expense of your health and safety.

We are proud to reaffirm our commitment to you: TruColour products are, and have always been, 100% PFAS-Free. This assurance isn't new to us; it's the foundation of our philosophy. Our bandages undergo rigorous testing to meet the highest standards of safety and quality because we believe healing should be pure, effective, and most importantly, safe.

Moreover, our dedication to inclusivity and safety is mirrored in our practices and products. As a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certified company, we embrace the significance of representation and equal opportunity. This certification is a testament to our core values and the diverse community we serve.

In light of the concerning statistics and potential risks associated with PFAS—where exposure can lead to "increased cholesterol, changes in liver enzymes, decreased birth weight, hypertension and preeclampsia during pregnancy, lowered immune responses, kidney and testicular cancer"—our pledge to offer a healthy and safe option extends beyond the absence of PFAS. Our products are also latex-free, catering to those with sensitivities and allergies, ensuring TruColour is a brand for everyone.

In a world where the choices we make about the products we use carry significant implications for our health and the environment, choosing PFAS-free products is imperative. With TruColour, you're not just selecting a bandage; you're opting for a future where diversity in healing is celebrated in the healthiest, safest manner possible.

Thank you for trusting us to be part of your wellness journey. We promise to continue to innovate, lead, and uphold our principles of safety, diversity, and inclusivity.

Stay safe, stay colorful, TruColour Products, LLC
