Explains natural latex harvesting process from @mylorals
The creator responds to a user's comment asking for a non-latex product by explaining the natural and sustainable process of latex harvesting. Using split-screen B-roll footage, she shows how latex is tapped from rubber trees, comparing it to making maple syrup. She addresses the common misconception that latex causes irritation, attributing it to chemical additives found in many products (which her brand, Lorals, avoids) rather than the natural latex itself, and notes that true latex allergies are rare.

Transcript excerpt
People don't actually understand that if you're asking for a non latex version of laurels, you're asking for a non natural product. This is what latex harvesting looks like. It's really similar to making maple syrup. Latex itself is the sap of a rubber tree. It's collected over tier, and then when it's ready, it's turned into latex products like gloves and florals. And then the tree stays alive, and it's retapped over and over again in a very sustainable process. And we get it. Latex products often contain additives that cause irritation. And, of course, some people have been tested for a latex allergy and, in fact, are allergic to latex itself. That's about one percent of The US population. But if you haven't been tested and you've sworn off natural rubber latex products in the meantime, we recommend that you get tested. It could be the additives and not the latex.
