Abstract

Abstract An aerosol antiperspirant composition comprising: (a) from about 2% to about 10% of a hydrophobic liquid; (b) from about 20% to about 95% of a propellant; (c) from about 2% to about 30% of an enhanced efficacy metallic antiperspirant material, containing at least about 30% of a high efficacy metallic species (by weight of all metallic species in said antiperspirant material); (d) from about 0.1% to about 3.0% of a hydrophobically-treated hectorite clay; (e) from about 0.1% to about 3% of a hydrophobically treated bentonite clay; and (f) from about 0.01% to about 0.2% of an activator; wherein the level of said activator is less than ##EQU1##

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 138 words
An aerosol antiperspirant composition comprising: (a) from about 2% to about 10% of a hydrophobic liquid selected from the group consisting of fatty acid and fatty alcohol esters, water-insoluble ethers and alcohols, polyorganosilicones, and mixtures thereof; (b) from about 20% to about 95% of the propellant; (c) from about 2% to about 30% of an enhanced efficacy metallic antiperspirant material, containing at least about 30% of a high efficacy metallic species (by weight of all metallic species in said antiperspirant material); (d) from about 0.1% to about 3.0% of a hydrophobically-treated hectorite clay; (e) from about 0.1% to about 3.0% of a hydrophobically-treated bentonite clay; and (f) from about 0.01% to about 0.2% of an activator selected from the group consisting of propylene carbonate, ethanol, and mixtures thereof; wherein the level of said activator is less than ##EQU5##
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 138 words
An aerosol antiperspirant composition comprising: (a) from about 2% to about 10% of a hydrophobic liquid selected from the group consisting of fatty acid and fatty alcohol esters, water-insoluble ethers and alcohols, polyorganosilicones, and mixtures thereof; (b) from about 20% to about 95% of the propellant; (c) from about 2% to about 30% of an enhanced efficacy metallic antiperspirant material, containing at least about 30% of a high efficacy metallic species (by weight of all metallic species in said antiperspirant material); (d) from about 0.1% to about 3.0% of a hydrophobically-treated hectorite clay; (e) from about 0.1% to about 3.0% of a hydrophobically-treated bentonite clay; and (f) from about 0.01% to about 0.2% of an activator selected from the group consisting of propylene carbonate, ethanol, and mixtures thereof; wherein the level of said activator is less than ##EQU5##
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 13 words
An antiperspirant composition according to claim 1, wherein said activator is propylene carbonate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
An antiperspirant composition according to claim 1, wherein said activator is present at a level of from about 0.04% to about 0.06%.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 20 words
An antiperspirant composition according to claim 2, wherein said enhanced efficacy metallic antiperspirant material is an enhanced efficacy aluminum chlorhydrate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 31 words
An antiperspirant composition according to claim 4, wherein said enhanced efficacy aluminum chlorhydrate least about 40% (by weight of all aluminum species in said aluminum chlorhydrate) of the preferred metallic species.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 42 words
An antiperspirant composition according to claim 5, wherein said enhanced efficacy aluminum chlorhydrate contains less than about 1% (by weight of all aluminum species in said aluminum chlorhydrate) of the first aluminum fraction isolated in size exclusion chromatography of said aluminum chlorhydate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 19 words
An antiperspirant composition according to claim 2, wherein said enhanced efficacy aluminum chlorhydrate is an enhanced efficacy zirconium-aluminum complex.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 17 words
An antiperspirant suspension composition according to claim 2, wherein said hydrophobic liquid carrier comprises a polyorgano silicone.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 87 words
A method for making an aerosol antiperspirant composition according to claim 1, for delivery from a suitable aerosol container, comprising the steps of: (a) preparing a concentrate by mixing and milling said hydrophobic liquid carrier, said activator and said hectorite and bentonite clays; and adding said enhanced efficacy antiperspirant material to the mixture of said materials either before or after said milling; (b) filling said concentrate into said container; and (c) pressurizing said container by adding said suitable aerosol propellant into said container and sealing said container.
