Wet tissue papers and face masks composed of nonwovens have been commercialized around 1980s and 1990s, respectively, in a cosmetic commodity market. As a few decades have passed, these commodities have been recognized in Europe and America, and in recent years cheap imports from abroad have occupied the market. Nevertheless, made-in-Japan nonwoven products have been strongly required overseas. A statement of virtues, e. g. sealing effect of small skin creases on dryness, has been permitted for cosmetic advertisements on July, 2011, and therefore the sheet cosmetics have a positive trend of further business activation. Besides, the limited use of preservatives in cosmetics, e. g.p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters-free products being favorable, has been strictly checked, and thus cosmetic nonwovens have attached importance to further safe sanitation. In this report, we review the basic and advanced functions of nonwovens required for current sheet cosmetics.
