摘要

A personal care product is provided which includes a composition a quaternary ammonium salt wherein a cation of the salt is a dihydroxypropyltri(C₁-C₃ alkyl)ammonium monosubstituted polyol in a carrier. The cation should have a molecular weight no higher than about 450 and the salt have a T_g no higher than about 10° C. Particularly preferred are hydroxypropyltrimonium sorbitol salts.
