Abstract

An improved skin friendly antiperspirant is provided in which a suitable polyhydric alcohol e.g., glycerin, is complexed with the antiperspirant of the type of activated or nonactivated aluminum or aluminum/zirconium salt that are commonly considered antiperspirant active materials and are covered by FDA OTC Tentative Final Monograph as Category I. Suitable antiperspirant salts include (but are not limited to): aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum sesquichlorohydrate, aluminum chlorohydrex PG, aluminum dichlorohydrex PG, aluminum sesquichlorohydrex PG, aluminum chlorohydrex PEG, aluminum sesquichlorohydrex PEG, aluminum chloride (15 percent or less aqueous solutions), aluminum zirconium chlorohydrates, aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium pentachlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrex Gly, aluminum zirconium penta chlorohydrex Gly, aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex Gly, aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex Gly, buffered aluminum sulfate, basic aluminum chlorides, zirconium hydroxychloride, zirconyl chloride, basic aluminum nitrates, basic aluminum chlorides combined with zirconyl oxychloride and/or hydroxychloride and organic complexes of each of basic aluminum chlorides with or without zirconyl chloride or zirconium hydroxychloride and mixture of any of the foregoing. Aluminum, zinc or zinc and zirconium complexes or aluminum, zinc and zirconium complexes with having metals/anion ratio of 0.9:1 to 2:1 where the anion is Cl, Br, I and/or NO, with or without additives such as amino acids or polyhydric alcohols.
