Textile friendly non-aerosol antiperspirants with a hydroxy acid

A method for preventing and/or reducing textile discolorations and/or textile spots, where the method comprises the following method steps:

• producing a perspiration-inhibiting cosmetic agent by mixing at least one perspiration-inhibiting aluminum salt, which is preferably zirconium-free, in a total quantity from 2 to 40 wt %, preferably 8 to 35 wt %, particularly preferably 10 to 28 wt %, and extraordinarily preferably 12 to 20 wt %, where the “wt %” indications refer to the total weight of active substance (USP), free of water of crystallization and free of ligands, in the agent, with a cosmetically acceptable carrier and with at least one hydroxycarboxylic acid of formula (HCS-1)
• HOOC—(CHOH)n—CHOH—R (HCS-1)
• wherein n represents an integer in the range from 1 to 10 and the substituent R is selected from —H and —COOH, where the hydroxycarboxylic acid can be present in free form, in salt form, or as a lactone, and where the hydroxycarboxylic acid is included preferably in a total quantity from 0.3 to 5 wt %, preferably 0.5 to 3 wt %, particularly preferably 1 to 2.5 wt %, wherein the “wt %” indications refer respectively to the total weight of the agent,
• applying the perspiration-inhibiting cosmetic agent onto the skin, in particular onto the skin of the armpits,
• wearing a textile garment over the treated skin, and
• washing the textile garment, in particular repeatedly washing the textile garment, where no, or reduced, textile discolorations and/or textile spots occur after washing, in particular after repeated washing.
