Summary

Carefree Acti-Fresh Long Pantiliners score 15/100. Daily-wear liner intended for everyday use, but the construction is the standard mainstream synthetic stack: polypropylene non-woven topsheet, cellulose-fluff core, polyethylene back, hot-melt adhesives, plus fragrance (Carefree's distinctive 'Fresh' scent system on a daily-wear product). Wearing fragrance-containing synthetics in direct contact with vulvar skin for 8-12 hours daily is the primary concern -- the EU's regulatory environment is increasingly skeptical of fragrance in intimate-care daily-wear products. Edgewell makes a 'Pure & Clean' (unscented) variant that scores meaningfully better -- this is the standard fragranced version. Owned by Edgewell Personal Care.
