A fabric softener composition comprising: (a) from 0.01% to 50% by weight of a cationic or non-ionic softening compound; (b) at least 0.001%, by weight, of a water dispersible cross-linked cationic polymer derived from the polymerization of from 5 to 100 mole percent of a cationic vinyl addition monomer, from 0 to 95 mole percent of acrylamide, and from 5 to 500 ppm of a difunctional vinyl addition monomer cross-linking agent; and (c) an effective amount of at least one fabric or skin beneficiating ingredient contained within a microcapsule, the capsule shell comprising urea-formaldehyde or melamine-formaldehyde polymer and a second polymer comprising a polymer or copolymer of one or more anhydrides. |
