Abstract

Abstract An aerosol antiperspirant composition of the type in which an antiperspirant agent such as aluminium chlorhydrate is suspended in a propellant medium, the medium containing a polyalkylene glycol for example a butoxymonoether of an ethylene oxide -- propylene oxide condensate, an ethylene oxide -- propylene oxide block copolymer or a polypropylene glycol. The effect of including a polyalkylene glycol is to substantially reduce the amount of stain which develops on clothing to which the antiperspirant becomes accidentally transferred.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 157 words
In an antiperspirant composition comprising a suspension of from 0.1 to 10% by weight of a finely divided aluminium chlorhydrate in a solution containing isopropyl myristate and a halogenated hydrocarbon aerosol propellant selected from the group consisting of difluorodichloromethane, fluorotrichloromethane, tetrafluorodichloroethane, trifluorotrichloroethane and mixtures thereof, the improvement which comprises replacing the isopropyl myristate with a colorless, water- and propellant-miscible compound having the general formula C.sub.4 H.sub.9 (OC.sub.n H.sub.2n).sub.x OH wherein n is 2 or 3 and x represents the number of moles of ethylene oxide and 1,2-propyleneoxide respectively such that the viscosity of the compound is from about 660 to about 3520 Saybolt Universal Seconds at 100° F, wherein the ratio of the colorless water- and propellant- miscible compound to the aluminium chlorhydrate is such that when the amount of the colorless water- and propellant- miscible compound is from about 2.5 to about 7.5% by weight, the amount of the aluminium chlorhydrate is about 3.5% by weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 157 words
In an antiperspirant composition comprising a suspension of from 0.1 to 10% by weight of a finely divided aluminium chlorhydrate in a solution containing isopropyl myristate and a halogenated hydrocarbon aerosol propellant selected from the group consisting of difluorodichloromethane, fluorotrichloromethane, tetrafluorodichloroethane, trifluorotrichloroethane and mixtures thereof, the improvement which comprises replacing the isopropyl myristate with a colorless, water- and propellant-miscible compound having the general formula C.sub.4 H.sub.9 (OC.sub.n H.sub.2n).sub.x OH wherein n is 2 or 3 and x represents the number of moles of ethylene oxide and 1,2-propyleneoxide respectively such that the viscosity of the compound is from about 660 to about 3520 Saybolt Universal Seconds at 100° F, wherein the ratio of the colorless water- and propellant- miscible compound to the aluminium chlorhydrate is such that when the amount of the colorless water- and propellant- miscible compound is from about 2.5 to about 7.5% by weight, the amount of the aluminium chlorhydrate is about 3.5% by weight.
