First Claim
Patent Images
1. A fabric care composition comprising:
- (i) an organophilic clay;
(ii) a functionalized oil; and
(iii) water wherein said organophilic clay comprises a smectite-type clay selected from the group consisting of montmorillonite, bentonite, beidellite, hectorite, saponite, stevensite, and mixtures thereof;
wherein said organophilic clay comprises a first organic cation selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium salts, phosphonium salts, sulfonium salts and mixtures thereof; and
wherein said organophilic clay comprises a second organic cation which is a polyalkoxylated quaternary ammonium salt.
