Is Viscose Polyester Spunlace Non-Woven Facial Tissue Safe?

2025-08-13
Viscose polyester hydroentangled non-woven fabric facial tissue has become increasingly popular in daily skincare in recent years, especially among those who prioritise hygiene, convenience, and a skin-friendly experience, making it an ideal alternative to traditional towels.

However, many people may wonder: is this type of facial tissue truly safe? This article will provide a comprehensive safety analysis, material characteristics, and purchasing recommendations.


What is viscose polyester spunlace non-woven fabric?

Spunlace non-woven fabric is produced using a high-pressure water jet to interlace fibres into a net, without the use of any chemical adhesives, making it an environmentally friendly process.
The main raw materials for these facial wipes are:
Viscose fibre — derived from natural plant fibres, it has excellent absorbency and a soft, skin-friendly texture.
Polyester fibres — High strength and abrasion resistance, even when wet, they are unlikely to break.  
The two fibres are combined in a scientifically balanced ratio to form a facial cleansing material that is both soft and durable, making it ideal for daily cleansing, makeup removal, and skincare.  

Is it safe for the skin?  

1. Physical spunlace process, no chemical residues

The spunlace process is a purely physical method of forming a web, without adding formaldehyde, fluorescent whitening agents, or chemical adhesives, making it non-irritating to the skin.

2. Hypoallergenic and skin-friendly, suitable for various skin types

Viscose fibres are soft and gentle, while polyester fibres are stable and do not shed, making them particularly suitable for sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, and infant care.

3. Single-use for enhanced hygiene  

Compared to traditional towels that can harbour bacteria, single-use facial wipes effectively reduce the risk of cross-contamination, ensuring cleaner and safer skincare.
