  • Publication number: 20030130636
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for improving the skin health of wearers of absorbent articles. Wet wipes are typically used in conjunction with absorbent articles for cleansing. It has been discovered that non-aqueous skin care compositions are best delivered from a bodyfacing surface of an absorbent article and that hydrophilic skin care solutions are capable of delivering anti-irritants to the skin. It has further been discovered that the combination of an absorbent article having a skin care composition and a wet wipe having a skin care solution provides improved transfer of skin care ingredients to the skin.
