Manufacturing process for microcrystalline emulsions

A process for preparing uniform, clear, microcrystalline emulsion antiperspirant compositions of gel-like consistency comprising:

• mixing the antiperspirant active material with water, charging said aqueous phase into an oil-alcohol phase containing a volatile silicone, a silicone emulsifier, a non-volatile emollient and a coupling agent, heating the resultant mixture with agitation until a uniform mixture is obtained, homogenizing said mixture and passing said homogenized mixture to a holding tank or directly to a filter.
