Abstract

A paper tissue and products made from paper tissue, such as paper handkerchiefs, facial tissues, bath and cosmetic tissues, paper tissue wipes of any kinds and the like. The invention also relates to tissue paper including deposits of lotions on the surface of the tissue paper that protrude a significant height above the average plan of the tissue.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A paper tissue having first and second opposed surfaces, comprising a lotion on at least one surface of said paper tissue, said lotion being present in substantially discrete protruding deposits onto said first surface, wherein said paper tissue has a bulk of equal or less than 5.2 cm 3 /g of tissue wherein said protruding deposits have an average height of at least 30 μm.  
   
   
       2 . A paper tissue of  claim 1  wherein said deposits have an average height of at least 35 μm.  
   
   
       3 . A paper tissue of  claim 2  wherein said deposits have an average height of at least 38 μm.
