Antiperspirant cream compositions with improved dry skin feel

Abstract

Disclosed are antiperspirant cream compositions with improved dry skin feel. These antiperspirant compositions have a penetration force value of from about 20 gram.multidot.force to about 500 gram.multidot.force, and comprise (a) from about 20% to about 80% by weight of a volatile silicone material; (b) from about 5% to about 35% of a particulate antiperspirant active; (c) from about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of a gellant material comprising glyceryl tribehenate and other triglycerides wherein at least about 75% of the esterified fatty acid moieties of said other triglycerides have from about 18 to about 36 carbon atoms, and the molar ratio of glyceryl tribehenate to said other triglycerides is from about 20:1 to about 1:1; and (d) from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of a drying agent selected from the group consisting of bentonite clays, hectonite clays, colloidal silicas, talc, microthene, and mixtures thereof. The compositions preferably further comprise a residue masking material.
