100% pure cotton. With the most soft cotton at the tip from the end of the stick to the top of the swab and a gently flexible stick, Xtracare cotton swabs are perfect for a variety of uses. Different uses for our cotton swabs include beauty (apply or remove eyeliner & eye-shadow), baby care (delicately care for sensitive areas), home & electronics (clean and dust hard-to-reach spaces), and first aid (gently apply ointments and creams).
