To obtain a softener capable of imparting textile products or clothing with excellent flexibility and antistaticity by using a specific ammonium compound prepared from a fatty acid composition as a raw material derived from vegetable fat-and-oil.
This softener is obtained by incorporating an inorganic electrolyte such as sodium chloride in an ammonium compound and adjusting the resulting composition so that the pH of a 0.5 wt.% aqueous solution of the ammonium compound comes to 2.5-7, wherein the ammonium compound is shown by the formula [R1 is methyl or (hydroxy)ethyl; R2 is methyl, (hydroxy) ethyl, R5OCOR6 or R7NHCOR8; wherein COR6 and COR8 are each a fatty acid residue 10-100 in iodine value derived from vegetable fat-and-oil; R3 and R4 are each R5OCOR6 or R7NHCOR8, wherein R5 and R7 are each an alkylene; X is an anionic atom or an anionic group] and prepared from, as raw material, a fatty acid composition of the formula R6COOH or R8COOH derived from the above vegetable fat-and-oil and comprising 20-50 wt.% of a 16C saturated fatty acid, 10-40 wt.% of an 18C saturated fatty acid and 10-60 wt.% of an 18C unsaturated fatty acid.
