Abstract
Abstract A process of suppressing body odors comprising applying a substantially anhydrous cosmetic preparation for supressing body odor containing as a deodorant an ester of an aliphatic mono- or di-hydroxycarboxylic acid or an aliphatic mono- or di-hydroxy-dicarboxylic acid having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms with an aliphatic alcohol having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or an alicyclic alcohol having 5 to 6 carbon atoms.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A process for suppressing body odor in a warmblooded animal comprising applying topically to said warmblooded animal an effective deodorizing amount of a substantially anhydrous cosmetic preparation containing from 1% to 25% by weight based upon the total weight of at least one ester of an aliphatic acid having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyalkanoic acid, a dihydroxyalkanoic acid, a hydroxyalkanedioic acid and a dihydroxyalkanedioic acid with an alcohol selected from the group consisting of an alkanol having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a cycloalkanol having from 5 to 6 carbon atoms and an alkanepolyol having 2 to 6 carbon atoms and 2 to 6 hydroxy groups; and the remainder of inert cosmetic ingredients.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
A process for suppressing body odor in a warmblooded animal comprising applying topically to said warmblooded animal an effective deodorizing amount of a substantially anhydrous cosmetic preparation containing from 1% to 25% by weight based upon the total weight of at least one ester of an aliphatic acid having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyalkanoic acid, a dihydroxyalkanoic acid, a hydroxyalkanedioic acid and a dihydroxyalkanedioic acid with an alcohol selected from the group consisting of an alkanol having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a cycloalkanol having from 5 to 6 carbon atoms and an alkanepolyol having 2 to 6 carbon atoms and 2 to 6 hydroxy groups; and the remainder of inert cosmetic ingredients.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 1, wherein said ester is a full ester.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 1, wherein said preparation contains from 5 to 15% by weight, based upon the total weight of said ester.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 1, wherein said preparation contains a propellant gas and is applied topically by spraying as a deodorant spray.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
97 words
A process for suppressing body odor in a warmblooded animal comprising applying topically to said warmblooded animal an effective deodorizing amount of at least one ester of an aliphatic acid having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyalkanoic acid, a dihydroxyalkanoic acid, a hydroxyalkanedioic acid and dihydroxyalkanedioic acid with an alcohol selected from the group consisting of an alkanol having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a cycloalkanol having from 5 to 6 carbon atoms and an alkanepolyol having 2 to 6 carbon atoms and 2 to 6 hydroxy groups.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
97 words
A process for suppressing body odor in a warmblooded animal comprising applying topically to said warmblooded animal an effective deodorizing amount of at least one ester of an aliphatic acid having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyalkanoic acid, a dihydroxyalkanoic acid, a hydroxyalkanedioic acid and dihydroxyalkanedioic acid with an alcohol selected from the group consisting of an alkanol having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a cycloalkanol having from 5 to 6 carbon atoms and an alkanepolyol having 2 to 6 carbon atoms and 2 to 6 hydroxy groups.
