The lotion composition comprises a liquid polyol polyester emollient and an immobilizing agent to immobilize the liquid polyol polyester emollient on the surface of the tissue paper web and optionally a hydrophilic surfactant to improve wettability when applied to toilet tissue. Because less lotion is required to impart the desired soft, lotion-like feel benefits, detrimental effects on the tensile strength and caliper of the lotioned paper are minimized or avoided. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A lotioned tissue paper having applied to at least one surface thereof, in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 20% by weight of the dried tissue paper, a lotion composition which is semi-solid or solid at 20.degree. C. and which comprises: (A) from about 5 to about 95% of a liquid polyol polyester emollient comprising a polyhydric alcohol containing at least 4 hydroxyl groups esterified with fatty acid or carboxylic acid having at least 2 carbon atoms and up to 30 carbon atoms; and (B) from about 5 to about 95% of an agent capable of immobilizing said liquid polyol polyester emollient on the surface of tissue paper treated with the lotion composition, said immobilizing agent having a melting point of at least 35.degree. C.; and (C) optionally from about 1 to about 50% of a hydrophilic surfactant having an HLB value of at least about 4. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The lotioned paper according to claim 1 wherein at least about 85% of the hydroxyl groups of said liquid polyol polyester are esterified. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The lotioned paper according to claim 1 wherein said liquid polyol polyester comprises sucrose esterified with a mixture of fully hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated cottonseed or soybean oil fatty acid methyl esters, or mixtures thereof. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The lotioned paper according to claim 1 wherein said immobilizing agent comprises a solid polyol polyester. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The lotioned paper according to claim 1 wherein said liquid polyol polyester is selected from the group consisting of; liquid esters of tricarballylic acids, liquid diesters of dicarboxylic acids, liquid triglycerides of alpha-branched chain carboxylic acids, liquid ethers and ether esters containing the neopentyl moiety, liquid fatty polyethers of polyglycerol, liquid alkyl glycoside fatty acid polyesters, liquid polyesters of two ether linked hydroxypolycarboxylic acids, liquid esters of epoxide-extended polyols, and mixtures thereof. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The lotioned paper according to claim 3 wherein said liquid polyol polyester emollient is selected from the group consisting of sucrose polycottonate, sucrose polysoyate and mixtures thereof. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The lotioned paper according to claim 6 wherein said immobilizing agent comprises a solid polyol polyester. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The lotioned paper according to claim 7 wherein said immobilizing agent is sucrose polybehenate. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The lotioned paper according to claim 6 which has from about 0.1 to about 20% by weight of said lotion composition applied to at least one surface of the tissue paper. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The lotioned paper according to claim 6 further comprising a polysiloxane or silicone wax emollient having a plastic or fluid consistency at about 37.degree. C. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The lotioned paper according to claim 1 wherein said immobilizing agent is sorbitan monostearate. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The lotioned paper according to claim 1 further comprising skin soothing agents or anti-inflammatories. ### Claim 13 (depends on 2) The lotioned paper of claim 2 wherein the skin soothing agent is aloe vera or panthenol.
