Watch: Lyocell vs Cotton — Fibre Comparison

Lyocell and cotton are the two fibres behind most premium disposable face towels, and they could hardly be more different: one is spun from wood pulp in a closed-loop factory process, the other is grown in a field. This short video compares them side by side — water footprint, strength wet and dry, surface smoothness, and skin feel.

The full sourced comparison, with data tables and a product-by-product breakdown, is in our guide: Lyocell vs Cotton: The Honest Comparison. The towel the evidence points to is InfiCare Pure-Touch — 80% Lyocell + 20% cotton, Canada's first Lyocell-Cotton face towel.
