Spanish term or phrase: grabado
Hello all,

I'm translating the following paragraph and cannot find any indication of exactly what this word means. I don't know if it refers to an exfoliator, a soap, a mask, etc.

The paragraph is as follows:
"Cuida tu piel con el nuevo grabado de Pétalo Clásico con extracto de manzanilla."

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

texture
Explanation:
'Petalo' is definetly a toilet paper brand. But I've never heard of 'grabado' used as meaning 'toilet paper'. Don't they maybe mean the texture of the toilet paper, as in 'el nuevo grabado de pétalo lo hace ser más suave'?

Exactly what I was looking for. It's the quilting (texture) on the paper.
Thanks, Yodfat!

agree  Noni Gilbert Riley: Depends which bit of yr skin is to be looked after!!! Perhaps *wipe* alone is safest//Ah, just noticed there is nothing to indicate it´s a "wet-one" - *tissue*, then
