Abstract
Novel fabric conditioning agents which contain either an ester or a NH link between a glyceric carboxyl group and a quaternary ammonium group are described. The compounds based on glyceric acid are both effective fabric conditioners and biodegradable, and may be formulated in any conventional physical form to form a fabric conditioning composition. A method of using the composition is also described.
