Mahwah, NJ (ContentDesk) December 9, 2005 -- Lets face it&we use more personal care products than ever before.
From body care to facial care to hair care and even baby care, youre likely to find a number of different products in the average bathroom.
What about when youre on the go?
You cant take the bathroom with you, but products delivered as coated non-wovens are helping consumers leave the bottle behind.When youre on the go, you dont want to be bogged down, comments Craig Berry, Executive Vice President of the Coating Division at OSGs Consumer Products facility in Mahwah, NJ.
Coated non-wovens give consumers the freedom to leave the bottle behind.Coated non-wovens are when customer products such as cleansing agents are used to coat non-woven material.
The items are dried, folded, and packaged and merely need water contact to be activated.

The Mahwah facility produces more than 3 million stacks of coated non-woven products each year.
Berry notes that coated non-wovens are ideal for single-use applications and packaging, giving the consumer added convenience of having just the amount needed, and giving the product greater portability.
He also notes that coated non-wovens have a unique benefit that the material increases the lathering ability of the product, which consumers appreciate.For the marketer, coated non-wovens mean expanded opportunities.
Berry reasons, With coated non-wovens, products can have an alternate delivery method, one that emphasizes ease and convenience. It can be used to introduce a new product in a unique attention-getting format.

Basic Skin Care

Healthy, beautiful skin is possible to achieve, but elusive to many. Despite the myriad of advertisements claiming that one cream or one product can give you the smooth, clear, wrinkle-free complexion that most people hope for, skin care is in fact a complex process grounded in real science and human physiology. Many factors contribute to our need for skin care products, so abstaining altogether from them is not healthy for our skin either. Healthy skin begins with a basic knowledge of your skin type, and how to keep it clean, nourished and protected throughout the year. It also requires a consideration of our overall diet and nutritional status.There are four basic steps to successful skin care: cleansing, toning, moisturizing and special needs such as make-up.
