A substrate treated with a lotion including an emollient and a retention/release agent, wherein the lotion has at least one of: (a) a DELTA H above about 37 DEG C. of above about 10 calories/gram (and optionally, a DELTA H below about 37 DEG C. of above about 15 calories/gram), a total heat of melting of above about 25 calories/gram, preferably above about 30 calories/gram, and an onset of melting temperature of at least about 30 DEG C., preferably from about 30 DEG C. to about 45 DEG C.; and (b) a DELTA H above about 30 DEG C. of above about 15 calories/gram (and optionally, a DELTA H below about 30 DEG C. of above about 10 calories/gram), a total heat of melting of above about 25 calories/gram, preferably above about 30 calories/gram, and an onset of melting temperature of at least about 30 DEG C., preferably from about 30 DEG C. to about 45 DEG C. is disclosed. Preferably the lotion includes an aromatic ester or fatty alcohol ester of a non-fatty organic acid emollient or mixture thereof and a retention/release agent, and optionally, surfactant, and/or medicinal agent. The lotion has the effect of making the treated substrate, preferably tissue, towel or napkin, optionally wet-strengthened, wipe or nonwoven material, feel smooth, lubricious and nongreasy. The skin care benefits of the lotionized substrate are expressed whether the product is used dry or prewetted with water. |
