Cotton wool

Impurities, such as seeds, are removed and the cotton is then bleached using hydrogen peroxide or sodium hypochlorite and sterilized.

It is also a refined product (absorbent cotton in U.S. usage) which has medical, cosmetic and many other practical uses.

Most cotton comes from India, the United States, or China.

Cotton plants prefer heavy soil to grow well.
