People are gradually becoming more and more dissatisfied with the use of paper towels. The demand for wet wipes on the market has become higher and higher. I want to talk to friends who don’t know much about wet wipes. In fact, they are qualified. The wet wipes sold on the market need to meet the following three characteristics:
1. Sterilize and remove stains
Stain and bacteria are visible and invisible pollutants, respectively. Most of the stains can be removed by wet wipes, but for bacteria, the wet wipes need to be added with antiseptic components. The wet wipes currently on the market can be divided into two categories: one is disinfected by itself, but no sterilizing ingredients are added, so it can only wipe off the stains on the surface of the article, but can not play the role of sterilization; the other is added with sterilizing ingredients, It will be mentioned on the package. Commonly used are benzalkonium chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride, etc., which can be used for disinfection or sterilization in the case of skin abrasions, scratches, etc., suitable for going out use. Some media have exaggerated the claims that the sterilizing ingredients in wet wipes are toxic and harmful to health. The sterilizing ingredients may indeed be toxic and irritating at high concentrations, but they are very small in wet wipes and do not cause harm. Parents should be careful not to let them. The baby chews on the wet wipes, and do not wipe the mouthpiece with the wet wipes.
2. Moisturizing effect
Propylene glycol is a commonly used moisturizing ingredient in wet wipes. In addition, aloe vera extract also has a certain degree of moisturizing. Although some wet wipes appear to be natural and safe, their effectiveness will be greatly reduced if they do not have a moisturizer.
3. Wet wipes material
The material of wet wipes is mostly spunlace non-woven fabric, which is basically a combination of viscose and polyester. Polyester is a chemical fiber, while viscose is a natural fiber mainly made of cotton. The raw materials of general wet wipes are mostly polyester. Non-woven fabrics, wet wipes (cotton wipes) with high natural fiber content are soft to the touch, which is more suitable for babies’ tender skin.
