WET-LIKE ARTICLES COMPRISING A MULTI-PHASE, MULTI-COMPONENT EMULSION AND AN ACTIVATION WEB

摘要

Disclosed are disposable cleansing articles (1) which comprise a multi-phase, multi-component emulsion (5) and an activation web (2) that facilitates activation of the emulsion during use, In a preferred embodiment, the multi-phase emulsion is s high Internal phase inverse emulsion having a continuous external lipid phase and a discontinuous internal polar phase. During use, the activation web facilitates breakage of the emulsion's external phase, thereby releasing the internal phase for its desired use. Because the internal liquid phase may account for up to about 97 % of the emulsion, significant levels of fluid (e.g., water or a polar liquid) may be delivered from a "dry" wipe.
