Abstract
Abstract The invention provides a fabric-softening composition comprising 1-80% by weight of a quaternary ammonium compound, such as distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, and 0.5-25% by weight of a fatty acid choline ester salt. The composition provides for an improved anti-static activity.
