The invention relates to preparations for impregnating cosmetic wipes, characterized in that they contain (a) an emulsifier mixture containing nonionic and amphoteric surfactants in a quantity ratio of 10:1 to 1:1, based on the quantity of emulsifiers, (b) a mixture of wax components containing wax esters, partial glycerides and fatty alcohol ethoxylates and (c) at least one cationic polymer. The preparations containing wax particles lead to optimal foaming and cleansing performance and to a favorable sensorial impression.
