    Default Verified by the maker: Cotton Q-Tips contain no lanolin

    Now and then, over the years, people occasionally state "do not use Q-Tips to apply cold blue because the cotton contains lanolin".

    I phoned the company and posed the question, do Q-tips contain lanolin.

    Feb 7th, 2021 I received an email response to my telephoned question:


    Dear (Bang),

    Thank you for your patience and understanding regarding this matter.

    We can confirm that our products do not contain Lanolin.

    Should you have any questions in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

    Sincerely,
    Cleo

    I wouldn't put it past Big Q-tip to lie about such things.

    I'll bet the lanolin thing started with someone buying cheap-ass Wal-Mart, CVS, Rite-Aid, or Dollar Store "cotton swabs" that did contain lanolin. Like some brands of facial tissue that contain aloe or skin lotion that makes one sneeze and use more tissues . . .

    Or maybe they were wool swabs that came by lanolin naturally.

    This is interesting because I just cold blued a small spot on a new to me T/C Contender and used Q-tip brand cotton swabs for the job with great results.

    OK , so much for genuine J&J Q-tip brand.

    The person who told me about the lanolin was not selling swabs either.
