Yep, cotton comes from a plant.
"Well, when those cotton bolls get rotten, you can't pick very much cotton"......
As long as they aren't processed with something environmentally unsafe, should be gooder to go.
Just found this....
"Although some cotton balls are made of 100 percent cotton, they are more likely to be made of synthetic fibers such as rayon, polyester or polypropylene fiber
. Cotton balls made from 100 percent cotton will feel different than those made from synthetic fibers"
So, cotton balls aren't always made with cotton. Who knew?
