Abstract:
An aqueous, stable clear fabric softener composition containing:A. from about 2% to about 80% of fabric softener active containing at least two C6-C22 hydrocarbyl groups, but no more than one being less than C12 and the other is at least C16, the groups having an IV from about 70 to about 140, or branched; and B. less than about 40% by weight of the composition of principal solvent having a ClogP of from about 0.15 to about 0.64, and at least some degree of asymmetry, said principal solvent containing insufficient amounts of solvents selected from the group consisting of: 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentane diol; the ethoxylate, diethoxylate, or triethoxylate derivatives of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentane diol; and/or 2-ethylhexyl-1,3-diol, to provide an aqueous stable composition by themselves, said principal solvent being sufficient to make the compositions clear.
