Abstract
An optically clear liquid antiperspirant product in the form of a stable water-in-oil emulsion with a viscosity of less than about 1000 cps at about room temperature includes an aqueous phase with an antiperspirant active ingredient in solution therein, an oil phase making up at least about thirty percent of the product, and a stabilizing agent that has a substantial solubility in each of the oil and aqueous phases. The emulsion has long term stability over temperature ranges from about 0.degree. to 45.degree. C. The product preferably is dispensed as a thin film from a roll-on type dispenser.
Claims6
A substantially clear antiperspirant composition which is a stable water-in-oil emulsion with a viscosity less than about 1000 cps and an optical clarity better than 100 NTU at room temperature, which composition comprises by weight 28.48 percent cyclomethicone, 8.63 percent cyclomethicone and dimethicone copolyol, 1.72 percent dimethicone, 32.50 percent water, 4.27 percent propylene glycol, 17.50 percent aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum zirconium chlorohydrate, 1.00 percent Oleth-5, PPG-10 Butanediol, or mixtures thereof, and 5.90 percent ethanol.
A substantially clear antiperspirant composition which is a stable water-in-oil emulsion with a viscosity less than about 1000 cps and an optical clarity better than 100 NTU at room temperature, which composition consists essentially of by weight about 28 to 30 percent volatile silicone, about 8 to 10 percent silicone emulsifier which is cyclomethicone and dimethicone copolyol, about 25 to 40 percent water with about 15 to 20 percent aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum zirconium chlorohydrate in solution therein, about 3 to 5 percent propylene glycol, about 4 to 15 percent lower alcohol, and about 0.5 to 1.5 percent polyalkoxylated alcohol selected from the group consisting of Oleth-5, PPG-10 Butanediol and mixtures thereof.
