About us
By nature, women are intuitively connected to the cycle, to earth, and – in our innermost being, to Science. We are taught to have a high pain tolerance and to be tough with discomfort. We are conditioned from a young age that that is the way. Because of this, the feminine care industry has operated on a simple assumption for decades: absorption is enough. Contain the flow, mask the odour, move on. It's a functional approach and a profoundly limited one.
At AVA, we are challenged by a mission to close the generational gaps in research that stand in the way of Pure Scientific health solutions for all women globally. Extending a helping hand through years of neglect and exclusion, AVA is disrupting the current health crisis that is silently sending a message, asking women to settle for inferior solutions, symptom dismissal, and vague diagnoses.
The products offered for feminine hygiene have remained essentially the same for years, and we have settled into them. Enduring irritation, pH imbalance, unwanted plastics and toxins in one of the most sensitive and absorbent areas of skin and organs. Causing us to hide odor with sprays, perfumes, and deodorants, flooding this sensitive area with more imbalance and shame, continuing the culture of enduring.
Ava is built by women who share in your collective experience. We decided it was time for a change. Time to solve the problem, to change the narrative of enduring and start an empowering revolution of comfort, balance, and a new level of feeling clean during our cycle. We solved the problem by looking at menstrual products through the lens of genuine healthcare, not convenience products, not cosmetics, but healthcare, and we saw enormous untapped potential.
Our first breakthrough: the world's first patented pad infused with micro-encapsulated hempseed oil represents what's possible when serious science meets an unmet need. The hemp oil delivers omega fatty acids, anti-inflammatory compounds, and skin-nourishing nutrients through a controlled-release mechanism that activates with body heat and natural movement. The skin of the vulva is remarkably permeable. The menstrual environment creates unique opportunities for therapeutic delivery. The periodic rhythm of menstruation offers predictable windows for precise action. These aren't new scientific insights. They've simply never been applied to menstrual products with any seriousness. Until now. Pure Nature, encapsulated by Science and delivered to you on a minimal, all-organic pad, a natural shield protecting your vulva without disruption.
But we're not stopping at pads. Our pH-balanced washes and wipes extend the same scientific philosophy across the full spectrum of intimate care. Every product is designed to support the body's natural balance rather than disrupt it. Clean formulas that work with biology, not against it.
AVA isn't just a brand, we are a revolution, pledging definitive answers, backed by women and science, accessible globally, indiscriminate of status or race. This is what feminine care looks like when it's designed by people who believe women's bodies deserve meaningful breakthroughs.
Who We Are: The Identity of AVA Pure Sciences

AVA Pure Sciences is where advanced efficacy meets natural integrity, where biotech meets
nature, and where feminine health is finally prioritized for everyone.
Our Mission: To advance women's health through science-backed research, sustainable product
development, and inclusive education, addressing generations of medical neglect with powerful
innovation and a commitment to global impact.
The Problem: A Global Crisis in Women's Health
For decades, women's health has been systemically underfunded, under-researched, and
misunderstood. This neglect has created a multi-faceted global crisis that AVA Pure Sciences is
addressing head-on.
The Research Gap: Medical research has been dominated by male subjects, creating
dangerous gaps in the understanding of female biology. This leads to delayed or incorrect
diagnoses and a "one-size-fits-all" approach to health that fails women.
The Product Gap : The feminine care market has seen minimal true innovation. For
generations, products have prioritized passive absorption while utilizing harsh materials
like bleached fibers, plastics, and undisclosed chemical additives. These materials can
cause irritation, dryness, and disrupt the delicate vaginal microbiome.
The Access & Education Gap (Period Poverty): The crisis is amplified by a lack of
access and knowledge.
Globally: An estimated 500 million women and girls lack access to menstrual
products and adequate facilities for menstrual hygiene management.
Domestically (U.S.): This crisis is not distant. 1 in 4 U.S. teens has missed class
due to a lack of access to period products, hindering their education and future.
Stigma: A pervasive culture of stigma and misinformation prevents open
conversation, leaving girls and women to manage their health in silence and
shame.
Our Solution: Proactive Wellness Through Patented Technology
AVA Pure Sciences is shifting the paradigm from passive absorption to proactive wellness. Our
solution is a revolutionary, patent-pending technology that transforms a sanitary pad from a basic
necessity into an active, health-promoting article.

The Innovation: Micro-encapsulation of Hemp Seed Oil
Our core innovation is the micro-encapsulation of Hemp (Cannabis Sativa L.) Seed Oil and its
infusion into the top, body-facing layer of our absorbent pads.
How It Works : We encase the premium, organic Hemp Seed Oil in microscopic, durable shells.
These microcapsules are engineered to protect the oil from oxidation and volatility, ensuring it
remains potent until the moment it's needed. The oil is released through two specific
mechanisms:
1. Moisture-Triggered Release: Contact with menses or other bodily fluids triggers the
capsules to release their contents.
2. Friction-Triggered Release: Natural movement, pressure, and friction from the body
against the pad also ruptures the capsules, delivering the oil directly to the skin.
Why Hemp Seed Oil? This specific oil was chosen for its unique and powerful biochemical
profile, which directly addresses the most common issues associated with menstruation.
• Anti-Inflammatory & Symptom Relief: Hemp Seed Oil possesses an optimal 3:1 ratio
of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids. This precise ratio is crucial for aiding the body's
natural biosynthesis of desirable Prostaglandins—compounds that are critical in reducing
inflammation, pain, and blood clotting associated with menstrual discomfort.
• Skin Nourishment & Protection: The oil is rich in fatty acids and Alpha-Tocopherol
(Vitamin E). This provides powerful anti-oxidant properties and deeply nourishes the
delicate vulvar skin, preventing the dryness, irritation, and chafing common with
conventional pads. It is specifically formulated to help soothe conditions like Atopic
Dermatitis (Eczema).
• Microbial Balance & Odor Control: Malodor is primarily caused by bacteria. Hemp
Seed Oil is a proven inhibitor of microbial and fungal growth, including pathogens like
Candida albicans (which causes yeast infections). By inhibiting this microbial
overgrowth, our pads help maintain a healthy vaginal pH balance and naturally control
odor without the use of masking fragrances or harsh chemicals.
