Qtip brand cotton swabs are made in usa. Johnson & Johnson are also made in USA.
Swabplus brand sells Qtips w/aloe in them as an eye makup remover...
I will be adding these to my database of "Made in USA" items. The database is in no way complete. So if there are other things you can't find made in usa, email and I'll find it for you.
check it out and see for yourself.
