Abstract
Abstract Solid stick compositions comprising a long-chain fatty alcohol having from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms in the chain, volatile silicone and C20 or longer chain alcohols at levels of from about 1% to about 3% of the total long-chain fatty alcohol present in the compositions. These solid sticks have improved strength and hardness without undue brittleness.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A solid stick composition possessing improved strength without undue brittleness characterized by: (a) from 5% to 20% of a long-chain fatty alcohol having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms in its chain; and (b) from 35% to 55% volatile silicone; wherein said composition additionally contains an alcohol selected from C 20 alcohol, alcohols whose chains are longer than C 20 and mixtures thereof at a level of from 1% to 3% of the total fatty alcohol level.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
A solid stick composition possessing improved strength without undue brittleness characterized by: (a) from 5% to 20% of a long-chain fatty alcohol having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms in its chain; and (b) from 35% to 55% volatile silicone; wherein said composition additionally contains an alcohol selected from C 20 alcohol, alcohols whose chains are longer than C 20 and mixtures thereof at a level of from 1% to 3% of the total fatty alcohol level.
