I believe everyone is familiar with paper towels. This is an item we often use in our daily lives, and many people like to use wet wipes. Next, let's take a look at what ingredients are in wet wipes?
1.Water - refined water, pure water, RO pure water: The content of liquid medicine in wet wipes generally accounts for about 80%. If the content is too low, the wet wipes will feel dry. On the contrary, if the content is too high, it will feel too wet and inconvenient to use. More than 90% of the liquid medicine is water. In order to avoid the reaction between water and liquid medicine, the water used in wet wipes must be specially treated water. You can see the words "refined water", "pure water" and "RO pure water" on the packaging ingredients.
2. Moisturizer—Propylene glycol: Propylene glycol is a solvent and also a moisturizer. It can help the effective substances in the liquid medicine dissolve in water, making it difficult for the water to evaporate, and play an antibacterial and antiseptic role, so it is found in almost all wet wipes.
3. Preservatives—Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Paraben: Wet wipes contain a lot of water and different substances. In order to maintain the activity of the effective substances, preservatives must be added, but the content is usually very low and will not have a negative impact.
4. Antibacterial agents—sodium lactate, silver ions, eucalyptus leaves: There are many types of antibacterial agents, including both chemically synthesized antibacterial agents and natural antibacterial agents. As the name suggests, they kill bacteria and inhibit bacterial reproduction.
5. Non-ionic surfactants—polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, polyether: Laundry detergents and most detergents contain non-ionic surfactants, which are used to remove dirt and grease to achieve a cleaning effect.
