ISHWARYA AND S.VINODHINIAbstract Wet wipe is a small moistened piece of paper or cloth that often comes folded and individually wrapped for convenience. Wet wipes are used for cleaning purposes, like personal hygiene or household cleaning. This project aims at manufacturing wet wipes for cosmetic purpose with pure natural ingredients rather than chemicals widely used in commercial wipes. Viscose fiber is used to provide a soft, gentle feel for contacting the skin of the user and polyester fiber is used to provide strength and. Natural extracts used are aloe vera, mint, nutmeg, glycerin, rosewater and lemon. Using these ingredients, three recipes have been developed and a comparison study has been made between the shelf life of the commercial wet wipes and the herbal wipes. Sample A has the combination of aloe vera, mint, and lemon extracts. The sample B has nutmeg, rosewater extract. The sample C has the combination of rosewater extract and glycerin. The antibacterial and anti-fungal test has also been made for the herbal wipes and commercial wipes, and the results are found to be satisfactory.
