A brand of wet wipes is getting more and more popular around the world, as it doesn't contain any chemical substances and is harmless to people's bodies, hands and mouths.

Sammoo wet wipes do not contain any preservatives or artificial flavors or scents, and thus do not irritate a baby's sensitive skin. With these skin-friendly benefits, they are now successfully exported to many markets around the world. The company I.A. Commerce, the marketer for the wet wipes, announced on March 11 that it shipped 22 tons of moist towelettes, including 13,000 refillable packs and 7,000 cap packs, to Toronto, Canada, alone.

Beginning with these exports, the company announced it intends to gradually expand its markets to other regions in the country, including Vancouver and Montreal, and eventually to the U.S. As their products are sold at pharmacies across Canada, the company expects more shipments of wet towels to be made to the country.




They are also being exported to China, Japan and Australia. The company started exporting to Australia in August 2014, as many people in the country started purchasing wet wipes in bulk in March that year. This led the company to sell their tissues at large supermarkets. This became the starting point for exports to the country.

The brand name Sammoo means the absence of three things: no preservatives, no artificial flavors or scents and they don't irritate the skin. They do not contain any chemical substances that can harm a human's body.

Wet wipes normally consist of water, felt, artificial additives and organic compounds. The problem is that water and felt, the main materials, tend to deteriorate quickly. So manufacturers sometimes add preservatives to their wet towels. For Sammoo, however, the company uses zinc zeolite, a natural nonorganic material extracted from stones, instead of a preservative. Thus it is harmless to people's bodies. Zinc zeolite is effective in deodorization and has antibacterial functions, too, preventing skin rashes from erupting on a baby's skin.

I.A. Commerce, established in 2012, launched Sammoo wet wipes in November that year and started exports to Japan and China. The moist towelettes are produced in refillable packs, cap packs and portable packs.




"Sammoo wet wipes contain zinc zeolite, a natural nonorganic material, and they are harmless to people's skin," said an I.A. Commerce representative. "Parents can be confident and feel safe about using them."
