Abstract
This invention provides antiperspirants to combat axillary body odor by preventing or reducing perspiration, wherein the antiperspirant comprises a water-soluble ester to reduce the problems associated with stickiness and residue. The present invention provides a new class of detackifying agents that are easily formulated into clear, aqueous based antiperspirant formulations. These agents are readily water soluble, provide clear cosmetically elegant products and eliminate the stickiness and tackiness normally associated with aqueous based products.
