Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
A deodorant and antiperspirant composition in the form of a cream consisting essentially of: a. from about 12 percent to about 50 percent by total weight of zinc oxide; b. from about 0.1 percent to about 0.4 percent by total weight of phenol; c. from about 3 percent to about 18 percent by total weight of glycerin; d. from about 0.1 percent to about 9 percent by total weight of calcium hydroxide; and e. from about 30 percent to 94 percent by total weight of a cream base; f. predetermined proportions of said zinc oxide and said phenol being combined in the form of zinc phenate; g. said zinc oxide, phenol, glycerin and calcium hydroxide characterizing a deodorant and antiperspirant composition, said cream base constituting a vehicle for applying said composition to selected portions of the body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
137 words
A deodorant and antiperspirant composition in the form of a cream consisting essentially of: a. from about 12 percent to about 50 percent by total weight of zinc oxide; b. from about 0.1 percent to about 0.4 percent by total weight of phenol; c. from about 3 percent to about 18 percent by total weight of glycerin; d. from about 0.1 percent to about 9 percent by total weight of calcium hydroxide; and e. from about 30 percent to 94 percent by total weight of a cream base; f. predetermined proportions of said zinc oxide and said phenol being combined in the form of zinc phenate; g. said zinc oxide, phenol, glycerin and calcium hydroxide characterizing a deodorant and antiperspirant composition, said cream base constituting a vehicle for applying said composition to selected portions of the body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words

Claim 11
Independent Claim
167 words
A method for forming a deodorant and antiperspirant composition in the form of a cream, said method comprising the steps of: a. placing from about 50 percent to about 75 percent by total weight of vanishing cream in a container; b. preparing an intermediate mixture consisting essentially of from about 0.1 percent to about 0.4 percent by total weight of liquefied phenol, from about 3 percent to about 18 percent by total weight or glycerin, and from about 0.1 percent to about 9 percent by total weight of calcium hydroxide; c. pouring said intermediate mixture into said containers; d. blending said intermediate mixture and said vanishing cream to form an intermediate composition; e. adding from about 12 percent to about 50 percent by total weight of powdered zinc oxide; and f. levigating said intermediate composition and said powdered zinc oxide to form a final composition, predetermined portions of said powdered zinc oxide and said liquefied phenol combining in the form of zinc phenate in said final composition.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
167 words
A method for forming a deodorant and antiperspirant composition in the form of a cream, said method comprising the steps of: a. placing from about 50 percent to about 75 percent by total weight of vanishing cream in a container; b. preparing an intermediate mixture consisting essentially of from about 0.1 percent to about 0.4 percent by total weight of liquefied phenol, from about 3 percent to about 18 percent by total weight or glycerin, and from about 0.1 percent to about 9 percent by total weight of calcium hydroxide; c. pouring said intermediate mixture into said containers; d. blending said intermediate mixture and said vanishing cream to form an intermediate composition; e. adding from about 12 percent to about 50 percent by total weight of powdered zinc oxide; and f. levigating said intermediate composition and said powdered zinc oxide to form a final composition, predetermined portions of said powdered zinc oxide and said liquefied phenol combining in the form of zinc phenate in said final composition.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein said vanishing cream is a stearic acid cream.
