DHC Olive Virgin Oil Swabs

Sometimes the best things do come in small packages. As in: these.

They have but one ingredient – olive oil – and are brilliant for swabbing eye make-up smudges, nourishing cuticles (their suggestion) and cleaning the outside of ears. (Which get surprisingly grubby, looking at the debris on these).

They're also deemed gentle enough for use on babies.

Individually wrapped within packs of 50, we can't recommend too highly that you carry a few in your handbag, for panda-eye emergencies.
