Claims82
A process for deodorizing a non-body odoriferous location which comprises contacting said location with a deodorizing amount of a compound which is a zinc salt of an unsaturated hydroxy-carboxylic acid having from 17 to 21 carbon atoms.
A process for deodorizing an odoriferous location which comprises contacting said location with a deodorizing amount of a compound which is a zinc salt of an unsaturated hydroxy-carboxylic acid having from 17 to 21 carbon atoms.
A deodorant composition comprising a deodorizing amount of a zinc salt of an unsaturated hydroxy-carboxylic acid having 17 to 21 carbon atoms and an antioxidizing amount of an antioxidant.
A deodorant composition comprising a deodorizing amount of a zinc salt of an unsaturated hydroxy-carboxylic acid having 17 to 21 carbon atoms, and a partially hydrogenated phenanthrene derivative in an amount effective to favorably affect the odor-suppressing action of said zinc salt.
A deodorant composition comprising a deodorizing amount of a zinc salt of an unsaturated hydroxy-carboxylic acid having 17 to 21 carbon atoms, and a reinforcing agent which is a hydroxy-carboxylic acid or a salt or ester of a hydroxy-carboxylic acid wherein the carboxylic acid group has 13 to 21 carbon atoms in an amount effective to reinforce the deodorizing effect of said zinc salt.
