The disclosed invention provides wax dispersions with an average particle size of 0.5 to 100 &#x3bc;m containing (a) a wax phase with a melting point above 25&#xb0; C. which contains at least one oil or wax component selected from dialkyl(ene) ethers, dialkyl(ene) carbonates, dicarboxylic acids, hydroxyfatty alcohols, and mixtures thereof and at least one emulsifier, and (b) a water phase. The wax dispersions are particularly useful as a basis for cosmetic preparations and, more particularly, for impregnating and wetting utility and sanitary wipes used for personal hygiene and body care.

Wax dispersions

The use of phase inversion temperature emulsions containing a non-aqueous phase of (a) one or more C fatty acid alkyl esters, (b) one or more C fatty alcohols, (c) one or more C alcohol polyglycol ethers, and (d) one or more C fatty acid partial glycerides, and an aqueous phase; as softening formulations for substrates such as papers, nonwovens, tissues and cloths is described.
