Abstract
Abstract An improved antiperspirant active material, and methods for its preparation, identification and use as well as cosmetic compositions containing said material are disclosed. Said material comprises a polymeric aluminum compound having the empirical formula Al2(OH)6-aXa where X is Cl, Br or I, a is about 0.3 to about 4; wherein said antiperspirant active material is further characterized by: (a) a Size Exclusion Chromatography Test band having a relative retention time corresponding to Band III of the Standard Basic Aluminum Chloride Solution Size Exclusion Chromatogram; and (b) a Band III Percent Aluminum Value of at least 20 percent.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
Process for improving the antiperspirant activity of a basic aluminum compound consisting essentially of a complex having the empirical formula: Al.sub.2 (OH).sub.6-a X.sub.a where X is Cl, Br or I, and a is about 0.3 to about 4, comprising the steps of: (i) heating an aqueous liquid solution containing the basic aluminum compound at an aluminum concentration of 2.5 to 8.5% by weight of the solution at a temperature of 50° to 140° C. for a period of time sufficient to impart to said basic aluminum compound the property of: (a) having a Size Exclusion Chromatography Test Band having a relative retention time corresponding to Band III of the Standard Basic Aluminum Chloride Solution Size Exclusion Chromatogram; and (b) having a Band III Percent Aluminum Value of at least 20 percent; and (ii) cooling the aqueous liquid to ambient temperature; thereby obtaining an aqueous liquid solution containing a basic aluminum compound having substantially the same empirical formula as the basic aluminum compound in the aqueous liquid solution prior to said heating and having enhanced anti-perspirant activity.
