Abstract

An aqueous fabric softening composition comprises:
  • a) a water insoluble, quaternary ammonium material comprising at least one ester link and two C12-28 alkyl or alkenyl groups, and
  • b) a nonionic stabilising agent present in an amount from 0.1 wt% to 2.5 wt% of the total composition
    • wherein the nonionic stabilising agent is a sucrose ester, the composition comprises an aqueous dispersion of the water insoluble quaternary ammonium material and the ratio of quaternary ammonium material to nonionic stabilising agent is in the range from 5:0.5 to 5:0.1.
