  • Patent number: 7235229
    Abstract: A clear, stable, dry-and-non-sticky feeling antiperspirant having an antiperspirant active, a solvent, and a polar silicone emollient. The antiperspirant active is solubilized in the solvent. The polar silicone emollient has an OH group or polyether or mixture thereof. The polyether has an average length of 6 or less of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or butylenes oxide groups or mixtures thereof. The polar silicone emollient has a chain of dimethyl siloxane groups ranging in an average total length of 8 to 40 silicone atoms. The polar silicone emollient has a linker which is a hydrocarbon chain of 1 to 8 carbons in average length. The polar silicone emollient represents from about 1% to about 95%, more specifically from about 5% to about 70%, even more specifically from about 10% to about 40% by weight of the antiperspirant. The antiperspirant may be contained in a pressurized or non-pressurized container.

  • Publication number: 20030026773
    Abstract: Disclosed are liquid anhydrous antiperspirant emulsions, comprising (a) an external phase containing a non-volatile hydrophobic liquid; and (b) an internal phase containing an antiperspirant active solubilized in a polar solvent; wherein the emulsions have an external to internal phase ratio of at least about 1.25 and a weight ratio of the non-volatile hydrophobic liquid to the combination of antiperspirant active and polar solvent in the internal phase of at least about 0.33. The anhydrous antiperspirant emulsions provide little or no visible residue on the skin and also provide for a smooth, dry, non-sticky, skin-feel during and after application. These emulsions are especially useful when delivered from a roll-on applicator.
