Abstract
Gel antiperspirant compositions comprising an antiperspirant compound, a gelling agent selected from the group consisting of a sterol and a starch hydrolyzate ester of a C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 carboxylic acid, a carrier comprising a silicone or a hydrocarbon, and, optionally, a fatty alcohol, a fatty ester, water, or a mixture thereof, are disclosed. Aerosol antiperspirant compositions also are disclosed.
Claims45
A gel antiperspirant composition comprising:
- (a) about 1% to about 40% by weight of an antiperspirant compound, wherein the antiperspirant compound is an astringent salt comprising aluminum, zirconium, zinc, or a mixture thereof;
- (b) about 2% to about 15% by weight of a gelling agent consisting essentially of a starch hydrolyzate ester of a carboxylic acid having about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms;
- and
- (c) about 10% to about 90% by weight of a carrier comprising a silicone, a hydrocarbon, or a mixture thereof.
A gel antiperspirant composition comprising:
- (a) about 5% to about 35% by weight of an aluminum halide, an aluminum hydroxyhalide, a zirconyl oxyhalide, a zirconyl hydroxyhalide, an aluminum zirconium glycinate, or a mixture thereof;
- (b) about 3% to about 12% by weight of a gelling agent selected from the group consisting of a sucrose distearate, dextrin palmitate, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- (c) about 15% to about 75% by weight of a carrier selected from the group consisting of a volatile silicone, a volatile hydrocarbon, and mixtures thereof.
A method of treating or preventing malodors associated with human perspiration comprising topically applying an effective amount of an antiperspirant composition to human skin, said composition comprising:
- (a) about 1% to about 40% by weight of an antiperspirant compound, wherein the antiperspirant compound is an astringent salt comprising aluminum, zirconium, zinc, or a mixture thereof;
- (b) about 2% to about 15% by weight of a gelling agent consisting essentially of a starch hydrolyzate ester of a carboxylic acid having about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms;
- and
- (c) about 10% to about 90% by weight of a carrier comprising a silicone, a hydrocarbon, or a mixture thereof.
A gel antiperspirant composition comprising:
- (a) about 1% to about 40% by weight of an antiperspirant compound, wherein the antiperspirant compound is an astringent salt comprising aluminum, zirconium, zinc, or a mixture thereof;
- (b) about 2% to about 15% by weight of a gelling agent selected from the group consisting of a sterol;
- and
- (c) about 10% to about 90% by weight of a carrier comprising a silicone, a hydrocarbon, or a mixture thereof.
A gel antiperspirant composition comprising:
- (a) about 5% to about 35% by weight of an aluminum halide, an aluminum hydroxyhalide, a zirconyl oxyhalide, a zirconyl hydroxyhalide, an aluminum zirconium glycinate, or a mixture thereof;
- (b) about 3% to about 12% by weight of a gelling agent selected from the group consisting of dihydrolanosterol, lanosterol, avocado oil unsaponifiables, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- (c) about 15% to about 75% by weight of a carrier selected from the group consisting of a volatile silicone, a volatile hydrocarbon, and mixtures thereof.
