Stabilized body care products, household products, textiles and fabrics

A stabilized composition comprising

• (a) a body care product, household product, textile or fabric and
• (b) an effective stabilizing amount of one or more compounds of formula (I)
• wherein
• G1 and G2 are independently alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or are together pentamethylene;
• Z1 and Z2 are each methyl, or Z1 and Z2 together form an unsubstituted linking moiety or a linking moiety substituted by one or more groups selected from an ester, ether, hydroxy, oxo, cyanohydrin, amide, amino, carboxy or an urethane group;
• E is alkoxy of 1 to 18 carbon atoms, cycloalkoxy of 5 to 12 carbon atoms or aralkoxy of 7 to 15 carbon atoms, or E is —O-T-(OH)b,
• T is a straight or branched chain alkylene of 1 to 18 carbon atoms, cycloalkylene of 5 to 18 carbon atoms, cycloalkenylene of 5 to 18 carbon atoms, a straight or branched chain alkylene of 1 to 4 carbon atoms substituted by phenyl or by phenyl substituted by one or two alkyl groups of 1 to 4 carbon atoms;
• b is 1, 2 or 3 with the proviso that b cannot exceed the number of carbon atoms in T, and when b is 2 or 3, each hydroxyl group is attached to a different carbon atoms of T;
• and
• HY is an inorganic or organic acid;
• wherein the total charge of cations is equal to the total charge of anions.
