Baumwollknäuel

Baumwollknäuel is a German term that translates to "cotton ball" in English. Cotton balls are small, round masses of cotton fiber that are commonly used for various purposes, particularly in personal care and medical applications. They are made from soft, absorbent cotton, which is naturally derived from the cotton plant.

The primary use of cotton balls is in hygiene and beauty routines. They are often employed for applying or removing cosmetics, such as toner, makeup remover, or nail polish remover. Their soft texture makes them gentle on the skin, and their absorbency allows them to effectively soak up liquids. In a medical context, cotton balls are utilized for cleaning wounds, applying antiseptic solutions, or controlling minor bleeding. They are a staple in many first-aid kits due to their versatility and disposability.

Cotton balls are also found in crafting and hobby applications. Their fluffy texture makes them suitable for stuffing small projects, creating decorative elements, or as a medium for painting and other art forms. The production of cotton balls involves carding cotton fibers to align them and then rolling them into a compact, spherical shape. They are typically sold in bags or containers and are considered a disposable product.
