A method for delivering active ingredients to a wet substrate from a flexible, three-dimensional, water-absorbent substrate material comprised of a web of substantially water-insoluble fibers into which is infused a solid anhydrous composition having a melting point of from about 45&#xb0; C. to about 55&#xb0; C. said anhydrous composition comprising (i) at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of cationic quaternary surfactants, anionic surfactants or nonionic surfactants or one multi-lamellar liquid crystal emulsifier system, (ii) at least one fatty alcohol, (iii) at least one emollient selected from the group consisting of cosmetically-acceptable oils, esters and liquid triglycerides, (iv) at least one active ingredient and (v) optionally, a solid cleansing agent having a melting point from about 50&#xb0; C. to about 70&#xb0; C. Preferred active ingredients are skincare and haircare actives, including emollients, humectants, conditioning agents, sunscreens and sunblocks, and artificial tanning agents.

A cleansing pad () is made of a web of fibers, forming a substrate (), where the substrate () includes a cleansing agent () therein. The cleansing agent () is a pourable soap. In making the cleansing pad (), the cleansing agent () is initially heated from solid form into molten/liquid form, and distributed essentially throughout one or more portions of the substrate () in molten form to coat the fibers in said portions of the substrate (). After application of the molten cleansing agent (), the substrate () is then allowed to cool such that the molten cleansing agent () solidifies and remains solid at a desired range at and above room temperature, forming the cleansing pad (). Thereafter, in use, the cleansing pad () is applied for cleaning an object in conjunction with a solvent such as water. The solvent dissolves the solidified cleansing agent (). The cleansing pad () can be used in this manner multiple times without the need for application of additional cleansing agent () to the cleansing pad (). As such, the cleansing pad () is a self-contained, long lasting product that maintains its creamy lather during multiple uses and does not require the user to reapply cleansing agents to the cleansing pad () with every use.
