Our Story

Our Founder

Crimson Organic was founded by Vicki Scott, a former defence attorney, who saw firsthand the toll that period poverty takes on girls and women. Through her work with displaced people and vulnerable youth, Vicki discovered that many families in our own communities cannot afford menstrual products — forcing too many young women to miss school or work every month.

Determined to do something about it, she set out to make safe, organic period care accessible: affordable for those who can purchase it, and donated to those who cannot. This principle — that period care should be both safe and equitable — became the foundation of Crimson Organic.

When Vicki began researching tampons, she was shocked to learn that many conventional products contain chemicals, toxins, pesticides and synthetics such as viscose, rayon and plastic. The choice was obvious: 100% pure certified organic cotton tampons, free from harmful ingredients, safer for women’s bodies and better for the planet.

Our Next Chapter

Today, Crimson Organic is owned by Rose Southwell, a business growth leader who shares Vicki’s vision of healthier, more accessible period care. Rose is deeply passionate about organic cotton tampons as a way to reduce women’s exposure to harmful endocrine disruptors and protect long-term health.

She also believes there should be a better way to avoid getting “caught out” without period supplies. That’s why under Rose’s leadership, Crimson Organic continues to offer a flexible monthly delivery subscription — making sure you have what you need, when you need it — while maintaining our commitment to donating to those who cannot afford period care.

With this next chapter, Crimson Organic continues to uphold its founding values while innovating to make period care safer, more reliable, and more accessible for everyone.
