SOFT TISSUE ACHIEVED BY APPLYING A SOLID HYDROPHILIC LOTION

A superior soft tissue product, such as facial tissue, bath tissue or paper towels and the like, can be made applying, on the surface(s) of the tissue, large numbers of individual deposits of a melted hydrophilic composition comprising a high molecular weight polyethylene glycol, a fatty alcohol (C14C30) and lipophilic emollients or solvents, including water, and thereafter resolidifying the composition to form a distribution, preferably a uniform distribution, of solid deposits on the surface(s) of the tissue. Because the composition is a solid at room temperature and rapidly solidifies after deposition, it has less tendency to penetrate and migrate into the sheet. These solid deposits are characterized by a penetration hardness of from about 5 to about 360 millimeters.
