Is the facial tissue you use made of "cotton" or "mink"?
As disposable hygiene products, facial wipes (also known as cotton pads) are favored for their softness and convenience. However, a recent report by CCTV has raised an alarm: Some facial wipes on the market that claim to be made of "plant fibers" are actually made of chemical fibers. Not only do they not match the advertised ingredients, but they also contain chemical residues. Netizens are discussing this issue, so its time to check if the facial wipes you have are "cotton" or "polyester".
I. Product Ingredients: "Cotton" or "Polyester"
Cotton Facial Wipes
Ingredients: Usually 100% cotton fibers.
Characteristics: Soft and fine texture, excellent water absorption and tensile strength, skin-friendly and non-irritating, more natural and safe.
Polyester Facial Wipes
Ingredients: Mainly polyester and viscose fibers and other chemical fibers.
Characteristics: Although the name may suggest softness, the actual use may feel rough, with relatively poor water absorption and weak cleaning power. Viscose fibers may contain residual chemicals such as carbon disulfide.
Hidden Chemical Residues in Polyester Facial Wipes
During the production of viscose fibers, chemicals such as carbon disulfide are used. If the post-treatment is not proper, residues may remain, which may cause skin irritation with long-term use.
II. How to Distinguish: "Cotton" or "Polyester"
01 Check the Ingredient Label
● For "cotton facial wipes", look for the clear "cotton" label in the ingredient list.
● If it is "viscose fiber", "polyester fiber", etc., it is a "polyester facial wipe".
Professional Tip: Prioritize products that are labeled as meeting the national recommended standard GB/T 40276-2021 "Cotton Pads" and comply with the GB 15979 hygiene standard.
02 Sensory Experience
Touch: Pure cotton feels fluffy and has a natural cotton fluffiness; chemical fibers may feel overly smooth or hard.
Smell: Soak in warm water and smell. If there is a pungent chemical smell (such as plastic or acidic), there may be chemical residues.
03 Usage Experience
Water Absorption: Pure cotton facial wipes absorb water quickly and hold a large amount of water; polyester facial wipes often have water droplets remaining on the surface and do not absorb well.
Tensile Strength: When wet, pull hard. Pure cotton facial wipes are less likely to deform or tear; low-quality polyester facial wipes are easily torn or shed fibers.
ITC Warm Reminder
A facial wipe is related to daily health. Although all products on the market must meet national standards, different materials do have differences in safety and experience. It is recommended to be vigilant when purchasing and clearly distinguish between "cotton" and "polyester".
