Kleenex

Kleenex is a brand of disposable facial tissues produced by Kimberly-Clark, an American multinational personal care company. The product was introduced in 1924 as a hygienic alternative to cloth handkerchiefs for wiping noses during cold and flu seasons.

The name Kleenex was created as a distinctive brand name for tissue products and is a registered trademark of Kimberly-Clark.

The Kleenex line has expanded to include a range of variants, such as ultra-soft tissues, lotion-infused versions, and compact pocket packs, in boxes and portable dispensers. They are widely used in homes, offices, schools, and healthcare facilities around the world.

Manufacturing uses paper pulp and fiber blends; the tissues are designed for single use. Some lines emphasize soft textures or allergy-friendly features. Kimberly-Clark and the Kleenex brand have pursued sustainability initiatives, including responsible fiber sourcing and recyclable packaging where available.
