The present invention is generally related to a soft paper based product comprising a cellulosic fibrous material, wherein an aqueous based softener composition is incorporated into a paper based product. The softener composition includes silicone glycol, a silicone quaternary ammonium compound, an emollient and water. The softener composition can be incorporated into a paper-based product so that the aggregate level of the softener composition is between about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the paper-based product. In some embodiments, the softener composition is an oil-in-water emulsion. The present invention is also directed to a method for forming soft paper products, wherein the cellulosic fibrous tissue is treated with a water-based softener composition, which includes a silicone glycol, a silicone quaternary ammonium compound, an emollient and Water. |
