What the product listing won't tell you
Know before you buy
Despite the eco-friendly branding, independent lab testing found the highest PFAS level in Mamavation's toilet paper test set — a result that comes directly from the recycled fiber supply chain Seventh Generation relies on.
Environmental sustainability (recycled content, PCF bleaching) is your primary purchase criterion and you accept the PFAS contamination tradeoff.
