(57) Abstract: A fabric softening composition comprising: (a) a cationic fabric softening
compound; (b) an emulsified silicone. In one aspect the viscosity of the silicone before
emulsification is from 10,000,000cSt, preferably from 30,000cSt to 750,000cSt, more preferably
from 40,000cST to 4000,000cSt, most preferably 45,000cSt to 250,000cSt, e.g. 45,000cSt to
200,000cSt and the emulsion is a macro-emulsion. In another aspect, the median silicone droplet
size in the emulsion is at least 0.2um, preferably at least 0.25um, more preferably also no greater
than 25um and is emulsified with an emulsifier comprising one or more cationic surfactants.
