A superior skin barrier enhancing tissue product, such as facial tissue, bath tissue or paper towels and the like, can be made by applying, on the surface(s) of the tissue, a lipid-enriched melted hydrophilic composition comprising a hydrophilic solvent, a high molecular weigth polyethylene glycol, a fatty alcohol (C14 - C30 or greater), humectant, an oil-in-water emulsifying surfactant having an HLB range greater than 7, or β-sterol, and a natural fat or oil, and thereafter resolidifying the composition to form a distribution of solid composition on the surface(s) of the tissue. |
