Abstract
This invention is concerned with various physical mixtures of quaternary ammonium compounds and tertiary amine salts of long-chain acids. These self-emulsifiable and self-dispersing mixtures exhibit synergistically enhanced properties including: surfactant and emollient properties, anti-static properties, anti-tangle properties, lubricant properties, and film forming properties. These unique properties and characteristics are utilized in various hair and skin conditioner formulations.
