C. of above about 10 calories/gram (and optionally, a .DELTA.H below about 37.degree. 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.degree. C., preferably from about 30.degree. C. to about 45.degree. C.; and (b) a .DELTA.H above about 30.degree. C. of above about 15 calories/gram (and optionally, a .DELTA.H below about 30.degree. 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.degree. C., preferably from about 30.degree. C. to about 45.degree. 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.
