First Claim
1. An absorbent article for absorption of bodily fluids deposited by a wearer, said absorbent article comprising:
- a. a body contacting surface having a skin care composition that is transferred from said body contacting surface to said wearer'"'"'s skin by contact, normal wearer motion and/or body heat at a level effective in providing a skin condition benefit to said wearer'"'"'s skin;
b. a liquid impermeable backsheet, wherein said backsheet comprises a first zone having a mass vapor transmission rate value of at least about 1300 g/m2 /24 hr; and
c. an absorbent core positioned between said body contacting surface and said backsheet, wherein said absorbent core has a post acquisition collagen rewet value and the ratio of said post acquisition collagen rewet value to said mass vapor transmission rate value is less than about 0.05 mg/(g/m2 /24 hr).

Abstract
The present invention relates to absorbent articles which provide improved protection against skin overhydration. A particularly preferred embodiment of an absorbent article of the present invention comprises a body contacting surface having a skin care composition thereon that, when at least a portion of the composition is transferred to a wearer'"'"'s skin by normal body motion or body heat, the material is effective in providing a skin condition benefit and a liquid impermeable, breathable backsheet having a mass vapor transmission rate value (MVTR) of at least about 1300 g/m2 /24 hr and an absorbent core having a post acquisition collagen rewet method value (PACORM) with a PACORM:MVTR ratio is less than 0.05 mg/(g/m2 /24 hr).
