Abstract
Disclosed is a clear cosmetic stick composition (e.g., a clear deodorant solid stick) having a base of polyhydric alcohol (e.g., propylene glycol) and/or monohydric alcohol (e.g., ethanol), and water, and gelled with sodium salt of saturated fatty acids of C.sub.12 -C.sub.22, and further including sodium chloride and stearyl alcohol. Inclusion of both sodium chloride and stearyl alcohol reduces crystal formation in the composition, thereby improving clarity and appearance of the composition.
Claims29
A solid clear cosmetic stick composition comprising (1) at least one material selected from the group consisting of polyhydric alcohol and monohydric alcohol, (2) water, and (3) alkali metal salts of saturated fatty acids as gelling agent for said at least one material and the water, and further including both sodium chloride and stearyl alcohol, the sodium chloride being included in the composition in an amount of at most 3.0% by weight, and the stearyl alcohol being included in the composition in an amount of at most 1.0% by weight, of the total weight of the composition, whereby crystal formation in the stick composition is reduced.
A solid clear cosmetic stick composition comprising (1) at least one material selected from the group consisting of polyhydric alcohol and monohydric alcohol, (2) water, and (3) alkali metal salts of saturated fatty acids as gelling agent for the at least one material and the water, and further including both sodium chloride and stearyl alcohol so as to reduce crystal formation in the stick composition as compared to crystal formation in a stick composition containing (1) said at least one material, (2) water, and (3) said alkali metal salts of saturated fatty acids as gelling agent, but not containing both sodium chloride and stearyl alcohol, the sodium chloride being included in the composition in an amount of at most 3.0% by weight, and the stearyl alcohol being included in the composition in an amount of at most 1.0% by weight, of the total weight of the composition.
