At IDEA16, Lenzing has focused on promoting its botanic lyocell fiber Tencel for use in personal care applications. The company says the fiber’s special properties—skin sensitivity, purity, and high storage capacity—make it ideal for cosmetic wipes, baby wipes and other wet wipes. Tencel fibers used in these wipes absorb lotions in an optimum way when applied and allow the controlled release of moisture when in use.

Tencel Skin fibers are increasingly being used in nonwoven facial masks. According to Lenzing, Tencel Skin is especially fine and tender on the skin and transports the lotion in an ideal manner.

Meanwhile, short cut Tencel fibers are being produced for the growing flushable wipes market. Tencel short cut fibers offer enormous fiber strength, which makes it extremely breaking-resistant in comparison to other materials commonly used, such as pulp and viscose. Tencel is both biodegradable and ideal for high-quality cleansing and care wipes with a flushable function.
