Abstract
Fabric care compositions comprise cationic starch and fabric softening active, wherein the composition comprises a viscosity of less than about 2000 centipoise.
Claims35
A fabric softening composition comprising:
- at least about 10%, by weight of said composition, of fabric softening active;
- and
- cationic starch;
- wherein said composition comprises a viscosity of less than about 2000 centipoise.
1 more element
A fabric care composition comprising:
- a fabric softening active;
- and
- a cationic starch, wherein said cationic starch comprises starch components having an average molecular weight of from about 50,000 to about 10,000,000.
A fabric care composition comprising:
- from about 2% to about 90%, by weight of said composition, of a fabric softening active;
- from about 0.1% to about 5%, by weight of said composition, of a cationic starch;
- and
- from about 0.001% to about 10%, by weight of said composition, of an electrolyte.
1 more element
A fabric care composition comprising:
- a fabric softening active;
- and
- a cationic starch,
- wherein said cationic starch comprises a viscosity measured as Water Fluidity having a value from about 50 to about 84.
1 more element
A process for making a fabric softening composition, said process comprising:
- mixing a fabric softening active and a cationic starch to form a premix;
- and
- combining said premix with adjunct ingredients to form said fabric softening composition.
A process for making a fabric care composition, said process comprising:
- forming an aqueous solution comprising cationic starch having a pasting temperature;
- heating said aqueous solution to a temperature less than said pasting temperature of said cationic starch to form partially gelatinized cationic starch;
- and
- adding said partially gelatinized cationic starch to a fabric care composition.
