Abstract
The invention relates to a series of novel salt complexes that are made by neutralizing a fatty ammonium compound which is cationic with an anionic compound, producing a salt complex. The compounds of the present invention are water soluble, non-irritating to the eye and skin and are well suited to personal care applications.
