Abstract: The present invention relates to a tissue paper comprising a lotion composition, said lotion being a liquid water-in-oil emulsion comprising (A) a hydrocarbon-based oil, (B) optionally at least one further oil, (C) 3 to 40 weight % of at least one non-ionic water-in-oil emulsifier, (D) 0.5 to 10 weight % of at least one coemulsifier based on an ethylene oxide-modified glyceride, (E) optionally 1 to 15 weight % of at least one humectant, (F) optionally up to 10 weight % of a metal soap, and (G) 6 to 35 weight % of water, wherein the weight % values relate to the total weight of the lotion composition. The lotioned tissue paper of the invention is very stable, shows excellent softness properties and is capable of efficiently transferring lotion to the skin of the user. Moreover, the lotion can be applied at relatively low temperatures and does not adversely affect the whiteness degree of the tissue paper.
