Abstract
Antiperspirant/deodorant compositions have lower, or even zero amounts of aluminum and/or zirconium antiperspirant actives. A polymer having one or more anhydride and/or diacid moieties, such as succinic (maleic) anhydride and/or diacid. The antiperspirant/deodorant compositions comprise a polymer with a non-zero acid value and a cationic species, which may be a cationic polymer, cationic molecule, cation, and/or a cationic carrier. Product are formed for the antiperspirant/deodorant composition, as well as a method of treating perspiration.
Claims5
A method for treating body perspiration and/or body odors associated with said perspiration, comprising an application to the skin surface an effective amount of an antiperspirant/deodorant composition comprising at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of PVM/MA copolymer, crosslinked PVM/MA copolymer, PVM/MA decadiene crosspolymer, IB/MA copolymer, and combinations thereof as the sole active antiperspirant/deodorant species, wherein said composition is essentially free of aluminum cations or zirconium cations.
