Abstract
A liquid fabric softening composition comprising an aqueous base, a cationic fabric softening agent, and an emulsified oil which has a refractive index at 25° C. of 1.45 or greater in an amount such that the weight ratio of oil to cationic fabric softening agent is from 1:12 to 1:1, characterised in that the D[4,3] droplet size of the emulsified oil is from 0.4 to 8 microns.

A method of manufacturing a liquid fabric softening composition comprising an aqueous base, a cationic fabric softening agent, and an emulsified oil which has a refractive index at 25° C. of 1.45 or greater in an amount such that the weight ratio of oil to cationic fabric softening agent is from 1:12 to 1:1, and the D[4,3] droplet size of the emulsified oil is from 0.4 to 8 microns, characterized in that an emulsion of the oil is prepared independently of a dispersion of the cationic fabric softener and the two are then mixed.
