LOW SOLVENT RINSE-ADDED FABRIC SOFTENERS HAVING INCREASED SOFTNESS BENEFITS

摘要

The present invention relates to rinse-added fabric softening compositions, including translucent or clear liquid compositions. The compositions of the present invention comprise a polyoxyalkylene alkyl amide surface active agent which provides increased softness to fabrics, increased stability and formulatability to dispersed phase liquids, and provide for a reduced level of principal solvent when formulated into translucent or clear liquid compositions. In the most basic form, the compositions of the present invention comprise: a) from about 1 % to about 80 % by weight, of a fabric softening active; b) less than about 15 % by weight, of a principal solvent, said principal solvent having a ClogP of from about 0.15 to about 1; c) from about 0.5 % to about 10 % by weight, of a polyoxyalkylene alkyl amide surface active agent; and d) the balance carriers and adjunct ingredients.
