WORDS FROM L.:

L. is dedicated to the rebellious notion that women everywhere deserve better. No ingredients you can't pronounce. No exhausted cliches. Just the quality you expect and the authenticity you deserve. The pillars below guide us in every aspect of what we do, from creating beautiful, high quality products to partnering with businesses and organizations that align with our purpose. L. implements a model of solidarity, prioritizing collaboration and partnership. We design our products for ourselves and you because better products create more demand. And more demand creates more opportunity for change.

Our Story

L. started with one woman wanting to help build a world more equitable for all women. Talia Frenkel, a photojournalist who worked for the Red Cross and United Nations, founded L. after documenting humanitarian crises around the world. Her coverage of the widespread neglect of women's human rights and the effects of HIV/AIDS on women and girls propelled her to take action in solidarity with women everywhere. Today, L.’s solidarity model has supported a network of more than 4,000 women entrepreneurs and is making over 250 million personal care products accessible to those who need them.

Our Model

From the beginning, L. has been dedicated to creating a more equitable world through its solidarity model. L.’s model is rooted in sustainable income-generation and long-term distribution channels. For example, by supporting grassroots, women-led enterprises with pad-manufacturing machines, our goal is to ensure that women and girls learn new skills and have opportunities for entrepreneurship. Supplying machines, as opposed to the products alone, helps communities maintain access to period products for years to come.
