Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Heavy metals in cellulose or plant-derived materials on the Eco By Naty and not on the Because Market.
  • We flag Absorbent material degradation and bacterial growth and Synthetic polymer microparticle shedding on the Because Market and not on the Eco By Naty.
  • The Eco By Naty is Bamboo-derived viscose, cotton, plant-based absorbent core where the Because Market is Cellulose, superabsorbent polymer, cotton blend, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
