Abstract: A laminated oil absorbing wipe comprises a non-pigmented thermoplastic nonwoven substrate layer and a pigmented thermoplastic nonwoven substrate layer where the wipe has a bulk of between 0.2 mm and 1.0 mm, where at least a portion of the non-pigmented layer is configured to undergo a change in opacity upon the absorption of a bodily oil so that the portion is at least partially translucent or transparent to light and the color of the pigmented layer becomes visible through the partially translucent or transparent portion, and where the wipe has an oil absorption capacity of at least about 1 g/g as measured by the Oil Absorbency Test.

Abstract: A cosmetic wipe that contains a first nonwoven layer having first and second opposing surfaces is provided. The first nonwoven layer contains fibers formed from a polymer composition and is generally opaque in nature. A second nonwoven layer is laminated to the first surface of the first nonwoven layer. The second nonwoven layer contains a colorant that imparts a certain color to the second layer. Prior to use, the colored second layer is not generally visible when viewed from the second surface of the first layer due to the opaque nature of the first layer. However, sebum or other bodily oils absorbed by the first layer during use can prevent light from adequately reflecting from the layer. Thus, at least a portion of the first layer becomes translucent or transparent so that the color of the second layer becomes visible to a user. This provides a variety of benefits, including the ability for a user to evaluate if or how much sebum was removed from the skin so that makeup, etc.
