Abstract:
A lotion composition for treating tissue paper which is semi-solid at 20Â° C. and which comprises:(A) from about 20 to about 95% of a substantially water free petrolatum emollient having a plastic or fluid consistency at 20Â° C. and comprising a member selected from the group consisting of petroleum-based emollients, fatty acid ester emollients, alkyl ethoxylate emollients, fatty acid ester ethoxylates, fatty alcohol emollients, and mixtures thereof; (B) from about 5 to about 80% of an agent capable of immobilizing said petrolatum emollient on the surface of tissue paper treated with the lotion composition, said immobilizing agent having a melting point of at least about 35Â° C. and comprising a member selected from the group consisting of C14-C22 fatty alcohols, C12-C22 fatty acids, and mixtures thereof; (C) from about 1 to about 50% of a nonionic hydrophilic surfactant having an HLB value of at least about 4, wherein said hydrophilic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of ethoxylated alcohols having an alkyl chain of from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms and having an average degree of ethoxylation ranging from about 1 to about 54, and ethoxylated sorbitan esters of C12-C18 fatty acids having an average degree of ethoxylation of from about 2 to about 20; and (D) from about 1 to about 50% of an additional hydrophilic surfactant selected from the group consisting of a dioctyl ester of sodium sulfosuccinic acid, silicone polyether copolymer, and mixtures thereof.
