Abstract
Abstract Suspensoid antiperspirant stick compositions, which provide the user with excellent antiperspirant efficacy, reduced residue upon application to the skin, reduced residue on the skin after dry-down, and excellent cosmetics and aesthetics, are disclosed. These compositions are substantially free of water and comprise a volatile silicone material, a particulate antiperspirant active, a low melting point wax, and a non-volatile paraffinic hydrocarbon fluid selected from mineral oils and branched chain C16-C68 hydrocarbons. The method of preventing and controlling perspiration wetness using these compositions is also disclosed.

A suspensoid low residue antiperspirant stick composition, substantially free of water, consisting essentially of: (a) from about 30% to about 70% of a volatile silicone material; (b) from about 5% to about 35% of a particulate antiperspirant active; (c) from about 3% to about 20% of a non-volatile paraffinic hydrocarbon fluid selected from the group consisting of mineral oils having a viscosity of from about 5 centistokes to about 70 centistokes at 40° C., branched chain hydrocarbons containing an average of from about 20 to about 40 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof; and (d) from about 10% to about 20% of a low melting point wax.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
A suspensoid low residue antiperspirant stick composition, substantially free of water, consisting essentially of: (a) from about 30% to about 70% of a volatile silicone material; (b) from about 5% to about 35% of a particulate antiperspirant active; (c) from about 3% to about 20% of a non-volatile paraffinic hydrocarbon fluid selected from the group consisting of mineral oils having a viscosity of from about 5 centistokes to about 70 centistokes at 40° C., branched chain hydrocarbons containing an average of from about 20 to about 40 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof; and (d) from about 10% to about 20% of a low melting point wax.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A suspensoid low residue antiperspirant stick composition according to claim 1 wherein the antiperspirant active is selected from the group consisting of inorganic and organic salts of aluminum, zirconium and zinc, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
A suspensoid low residue antiperspirant stick composition according to claim 2 wherein the volatile silicone material is selected from the group consisting of cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes having from about 3 to about 7 silicon atoms, linear polydimethylsiloxanes having from about 3 to about 9 silicon atoms, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A suspensoid low residue antiperspirant stick composition according to claim 3 additionally containing from about 1% to about 7% of a high melting point wax.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A suspensoid low residue antiperspirant stick composition according to claim 3 wherein the low melting point wax is selected from the group consisting of stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, palmitic acid, myristyl alcohol, paraffin, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
A suspensoid low residue antiperspirant stick composition according to claim 3 wherein the non-volatile paraffinic hydrocarbon fluid is selected from the group consisting of branched chain hydrocarbons containing an average of from about 20 to about 40 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
A suspensoid low residue antiperspirant stick composition according to claim 3 comprising from about 5% to about 15% of the branched chain paraffinic hydrocarbon fluid.
