Why use cotton in your facial services?
It is multi-functional and eco-friendly, sure, but are you using the best cotton on the market? To ensure you’re getting the most bang for your buck and providing the highest-quality service to your customers, you should be using top-of-the-line products.
Here are just a few benefits of using cotton from Intrinsics:
Good For Your Clients
Intrinsics cotton is medical-grade and hypoallergenic, meaning it’s a perfect fit for all skin types. Our cotton abides by the three S’s: soft, sanitary, and safe.
Cotton pads: they all kind of look the same, right? But don’t let that fool you. One of the main difference in quality and sub-par products is the cotton fiber length. Since cotton is a naturally occurring fiber, it’s a given that there will be some variation of fiber length.
Simply put: the longer the cotton fiber, the stronger the product. As far as Intrinsics products go, we are committed to using longer cotton fibers with a high micronaire value. Curious what that means?

Good For the Earth
Cotton is biodegradable, which means you can feel good about disposing of products after spa and salon treatments. In addition to minimal waste, cotton farming practices have evolved to be more efficient over the last few decades. Did you know in the last 20 years, water usage, soil loss, and energy used for production have all steadily declined? Most of the US cotton crops are now irrigated exclusively from rain. Roughly 1.6lbs of other useful products are created in the harvesting process, like cottonseed oil, dairy feed, and mulch.
