Facial blotter with improved oil absorbency
First Claim
1. A laminated oil absorbing wipe comprising a non-pigmented thermoplastic nonwoven substrate layer (non-pigmented layer) and a pigmented thermoplastic nonwoven substrate layer (pigmented layer) wherein the wipe has a bulk of between 0.2 mm and 1.0 mm, wherein 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 wherein the wipe has an oil absorption capacity of at least about 1 g/g as measured by the Oil Absorbency Test.
