What is Wet Wipes Material?

Wet wipes material defines a wipe’s texture, strength, and safety. From gentle cotton to durable nonwoven fabric for each type serves unique purposes. We use premium materials to ensure these are soft, effective, and safe for babies and adults alike, prioritizing personal care.

1. Cotton-Based Wipes

Cotton offers excellent moisture absorption and a soft texture. With cotton blended in, these are soft to the touch and are specifically for gentle uses on your skin.

Benefits of Cotton Tissue

  • Gentle Touch: Cotton is both incredibly soft and highly absorbent.
  • Absorbent: Soaks up messes quickly, great for diaper changes or spills.
  • Safe Choice: Minimises allergy risks with natural fibres.

These wipes can be pricier and may not fully biodegrade unless organic. They are soft, affordable, and combine practicality with quality.

2. Nonwoven Fabric for Wipes

Nonwoven fabric for wipes, often made from viscose or polyester, is created through hydroentangling, a chemical-free process that ensures strength and softness. Silk Soft India’s nonwoven tissues are designed for durability and versatility.

Benefits of  Nonwoven Tissue

  • Strong and Reliable: Tear resistant, ideal for cleaning up tough messes.
  • Affordable: Cost-effective for daily use, from baby care to surfaces.
  • Versatile: One can use it in personal hygiene, makeup remover, or cleaning.

Synthetic fibres are used in some nonwoven tissues, but these fibres do not biodegrade. We choose gentle, as well as quality, nonwoven fabric for its tissues.

3. Biodegradable Wipes

People who try to live sustainably are attracted to biodegradable tissues built from natural plant-based materials such as bamboo or organic cotton. The tissue from Silk Soft India is not biodegradable, yet keen on ensuring safety and proper disposal.

Benefits of Biodegradable Tissue

  • Eco-Friendly: Reduces landfill waste with natural decomposition.
  • Gentle Fibres: The plant materials are sensitive and skin-friendly.
  • Sustainable: Often sourced from renewable resources like bamboo.

Although biodegradable tissues are not inexpensive and can’t usually be flushed away, despite the label. It is important for customers to check if the sustainability claims are true.
