Core Performance: Balancing Practical Experience with Environmental Attributes

Cleaning Performance: Efficient Stain Removal and Gentle Cleansing

  • Deep Cleaning Power: Plant-based surfactants derived from coconut oil or cornstarch are added to effectively remove residue without the need for vigorous wiping. The textured surface enhances friction, combined with a water-locking design that maintains consistent moisture for comprehensive cleanliness.
  • pH-Balanced Formula: The pH is maintained at 5.5–6.5, aligning with the skin’s natural pH and helping prevent damage to the skin’s protective barrier. Frequent use does not lead to dryness or irritation.

Physical Strength: Durable and Tear-Resistant for Worry-Free Use

  • Tear and Break Resistance: Made from reinforced plant fibers (bamboo pulp, sugarcane bagasse, or FSC-certified wood pulp), the wipes retain structural integrity even when wet, resisting tearing or disintegration during use, and break down rapidly in water or compost environments.
  • Clog-Prevention Design: Optimized for compatibility with most septic systems (meeting EN 16156 toilet compatibility standards), the wipes disintegrate quickly in water, significantly reducing the risk of pipe clogs compared to traditional wipes.

Degradation Performance: Low Carbon Footprint Throughout the Lifecycle, Environmentally Friendly

  • Rapid Compost Degradation: Under industrial composting conditions (58°C ± 2°C, 60% ± 5% humidity), biodegradability exceeds 90% within 90 days. Under home composting conditions (25–35°C), complete degradation occurs within 180 days.
  • No Residual Pollution: The wipes decompose entirely into water, carbon dioxide, and organic humus, without producing microplastics, heavy metals, or toxic byproducts, effectively addressing soil and ocean pollution caused by traditional plastic wipes.

Core Functions: Multiple Values from Personal Care to Ecological Protection

Personal Hygiene and Comfortable Experience

Hygiene Upgrade

Compared to dry toilet paper, these wipes remove 99.9% of common bacteria (such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus), reducing the risk of infections in sensitive areas without relying on alcohol or triclosan.

Sensitive Skin-Friendly

Free from alcohol, parabens, fragrances, dyes, and MIT (methylisothiazolinone), making them suitable for infants, pregnant women, individuals with sensitive skin, and those with hemorrhoids, offering a soft and non-irritating cleaning experience.

Multi-Scenario Adaptability

Suitable for home, travel, office, and public restroom use. Individually wrapped or portable container designs cater to on-the-go needs.

Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development

Reducing Plastic Pollution

Replaces traditional wipes made from polypropylene/polyester non-woven fabrics (which take over 500 years to degrade), thereby reducing microplastic pollution at the source.

Supporting a Circular Economy

After composting, the wipes transform into organic fertilizer, improving soil structure and promoting plant growth, enabling resource recycling and reducing landfill waste.

Product Safety and Environmental Friendliness: Bio-Based Formula, Non-Toxic Throughout the Supply Chain

Raw Material Safety: Natural Bio-Based, Free from Harmful Additives

Renewable Fibers

Made from 100% plant-based materials (bamboo, sugarcane, or wood pulp), which are renewable and biodegradable. The production process uses chlorine-free bleaching (ECF/TCF technology) to avoid dioxin emissions.

Non-Toxic Additives

The cleaning solution meets food-grade standards, containing plant-derived surfactants (non-ionic, gentle and non-irritating), glycerin (moisturizing), and aloe vera extract (soothing), fully complying with EU REACH and U.S. FDA standards for personal care products.

Production and Usage Safety: Strict Quality Control, No Health Risks

Sterile Production

Manufacturing facilities are certified under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and GMP standards, equipped with a 100,000-class cleanroom. Each batch undergoes microbiological testing (total bacterial count ≤10 CFU/g, no pathogenic bacteria) to ensure sterility and safety.

Skin Safety Certifications

Certified under EU ECOCERT, U.S. EPA Safer Choice, and dermatological tests (patch-tested on 50+ volunteers with a 0% irritation rate), confirming safety for long-term skin contact.

Environmental Attributes: Low Carbon Footprint Throughout the Lifecycle

Certified under EU ECOCERT, U.S. EPA Safer Choice, and dermatological tests (patch-tested on 50+ volunteers with a 0% irritation rate), confirming safety for long-term skin contact.

Environmental Attributes: Low Carbon Footprint Throughout the Lifecycle

Carbon-Neutral Focus

Production utilizes renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, reducing carbon emissions by 65% compared to plastic wipes (verified by third-party carbon footprint audits).

Water Conservation and Emission Reduction

Water consumption for plant fiber production is 30% lower than that of traditional wood pulp. Production wastewater is treated to meet EU GB/T 31962-2015 standards before reuse or discharge.

Compost Certification: Compliant with International Standards, Suitable for Resource Recovery
