Formulating a Fabric Softener
Could Cetearyl Alcohol be used as the main ingredient in a natural fabric softener? Would I need any other active ingredients to make effective? I know I would need a preservative to make the solution last and avoid bacteria growth.

@HexaManna Even though some small molecules could deposit on fabrics and give some lubricity (like some esters), the benefits are not comparable to those of cationic surfactants, more especifically dialkyl quats from tallow, which is the most common ingredient used in fabric softeners.
