Abstract

Opportunities for greener chemistry seem endless. Consumer products, which represent very large users of chemical materials, are no exception. Even products such as fabric softeners that have existed for decades need continual enhancement. Many improvements have been implemented in the chemistry used in these products; however, more is warranted. Key challenges include formula stability, raw material sourcing based on animal fats, and inability to produce concentrated, lower dose products.
