Patent ID: 7696111

Claim:
A cosmetic pad comprising a nonwoven material consisting of: 15 to 85% by weight of micro staple fibers selected from the group consisting of synthetic micro staple fibers of at least 7 mm in length and having a fiber thickness of <1 dtex and viscose micro staple fibers of at least 7 mm in length and having a fiber thickness of <1 dtex, and 15 to 72% by weight of cotton fibers and 10 to 20% by weight of thermally melting binding fibers being multi-component fibers or bi-component fibers and having a fiber thickness of 1.3 to 10 dtex and a fiber length of 3 to 60 mm, wherein these different fiber types being mixed in an airflow and then disposed to form the nonwoven material, where the micro staple fibers are previously formed in a separate production method and subsequently used to be mixed in an airflow with the cotton fibers and the thermally melting binding fibers and then disposed to form the cosmetic pad, the cosmetic pad having a tensile strength of 5 to 30 N/25 mm in a machine direction and in the embodiment of a wetted cosmetic pad or damp cloth having a tensile strength of 5 to 70 N/25 mm in a machine direction.
