ABSTRACT:
An aqueous, liquid fabric conditioning composition and a method for making such a composition are provided where the composition comprises a quaternary ammonium cationic softening compound and a non-ionic surfactant, where the composition comprises an emulsion in which 80% or more by weight of the droplets in the emulsion have a mean diameter of from 0.4 to 60 microns, as measured using a Malvern particle size analyser with a 45 mm lens for D[0,1] measurements and both a 45 mm and a 1000 mm lens for D[0,9] measurements. Use of a nonionic surfactant to improve the dispersibility in water of an aqueous, liquid fabric conditioning composition is also provided.
