Charmin is a brand of toilet paper that is made from wood pulp and water-based adhesive. The pulp used in Charmin is sourced from softwood and hardwood trees. Charmin also contains conditioners that are added to improve the overall experience of the product, such as improving softness or strength. According to Charmins website, the company uses plant-derived or synthetically-derived ingredients to substitute for animal-derived materials (ADMs) whenever possible. However, in cases where ADMs are necessary for product performance, P&G requires that all their suppliers provide ADMs that are safe and compliant with all regulations and industry guidelines.
It is important to note that Charmin Ultra Gentle contains lotion, which includes mineral oil, cetearyl alcohol, paraffin/wax, and steareth-2. Charmin Ultra Products are processed with ECF and contain undisclosed conditioners. Charmin Ultra Gentle also contains paraffin wax, a petroleum by-product.
Charmin products are not made from recycled materials, but the company claims that their products are more absorbent and provide more strength than products made from recycled materials. Charmins toilet paper rolls for commercial use are 40% thicker and 40% more absorbent than the leading premium commercial bath tissue.
