Product Reviewed: 365 Organics Organic Cotton Balls

Place of Purchase: Whole Foods Market

Purchase Price: $2.99 for 100 jumbo cotton balls

Product replaced: Non-organic cotton balls

Ingredients: 100% organic cotton

Use: I use them for cosmetic or first-aid uses, such as applying facial toner or alcohol, when needed.

Results: These are great!  They’re affordable and very soft!  The package says that,

Organic farming helps replenish the soil and protect the quality of our water and air.  Cotton grown without the use of harsh chemicals means cotton balls that are naturally free of harmful chemical residue.  Whitened with hydrogen peroxide, our cotton balls are gentle and absorbent, with a velvety, soft texture that feels wonderful on your skin.

I hate to take a manufacturer’s word for what I can expect, because of the obvious fact that they’re trying to sell you the product.  But what they have to say seems all too true, especially how soft the cotton really is, and the fact that the 365 Organics Cotton Balls are so very large — not the case with many other cotton balls.  Sometimes, I tear them in half because it feels wasteful to use so much cotton, and they are still bigger when torn in half than many of their competitors’ are at full size.

Best of all: Mostly, they’re organic, soft, absorbent, and affordable.  Simply put.

Why try it? Because all you have to do is head to a Whole Foods Market near you and pick them up.  If you don’t live near a Whole Foods market, search out your local natural foods and products store for organic cotton balls, and other products. 

The drawback: As noted above, these cotton balls are big, which is great from a utilitarian perspective, but 365 Organics would do well to cut down the size by one half.  That would put them at about an average standard size and would eliminate waste; as is, there is almost too much cotton in each cotton ball.
