The present invention relates to a dryer-added fabric treatment article of manufacturing to reduce the fading of fabrics from sunlight comprising: I. a composition comprising: A. from about 5% to about 75%, by weight of the composition, of a sun- fade protection active selected from the group consisting of: i. a non-fabric staining, light stable, antioxidant compound preferably containing at least one C8-C22 hydrocarbon fatty organic moiety; ii. a non-fabric staining, light stable, sunscreen compound; and iii. mixtures thereof; B. from about 10% to about 95% by weight of the composition of a fabric conditioning compound; and II. a substrate, on which said composition is attached, which provides for release of an effective amount of said sun-fade protection active and said fabric conditioning compound onto fabrics in an automatic laundry dryer at automatic laundry dryer operating temperatures; wherein said antioxidant compound is a solid having a melting point of less than about 80 DEG C., or a liquid at a temperature of less than about 40 DEG C.; and wherein said sunscreen compound absorbs light at a wavelength of from about 290 nm to about 450 nm and is a solid compound having a melting point of from about 25 DEG C. to about 90 DEG C., or a viscous liquid at a temperature of less than about 40 DEG C. |
