Cotton wool

Small description

Cotton wool is 100% pure, long fibered cotton, suitable for cleaning surfaces, making ones own cotton tipped swabs, and other applications. “Cotton wool” is a term used to refer to cotton in its softest and fluffiest form – think cotton balls. Due to its absorbency, it is most often used for cleaning the skin, bathing wounds, or applying liquids and creams. Cotton wool consists of silky fibers taken from cotton plants in their raw state. Impurities, such as seeds, are removed and the cotton is then bleached using hydrogen peroxide or sodium hypochlorite and sterilized.
