Healthy & Green

What does it mean to make toys healthy for the body and to be a green manufacturer? Tantus takes pride in the fact that all our products are healthy for the body and made using processes that are healthy for the earth. When you smell a Tantus product there is no scent of chemicals- and when you walk into our shop you’ll have the same experience. We manufacture everything here in the US so we can make certain that the materials we use are safe; the solvents we use are safe and the quality is superior. Solvents are used to clean machines, there is no way getting around it. We use an FDA approved mineral spirit that we recycle. We pay a little more for this solvent, but it’s worth it. While silicone does not break down, it is completely inert. As waste it builds land mass but doesn’t pollute the land. Our new Alumina line is made of the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust—aluminum. It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth’s solid surface. Here again we have chosen a material that is non-porous, easy to clean and it is earth friendly. We also recycle all of our scrap from these beautiful toys. We at Tantus are proud of our stewardship: we live responsive to our passions. We take care to make sexual products that work for the body and work for the earth. |
