  • Antiperspirant formulations
    Patent number: 6737048
    Abstract: Structured antiperspirant emulsion formulations for topical application to human skin in a cosmetic method for controlling sweat and body odor generation can suffer from problems of impaired sensory properties and impaired efficacy (sweat reduction), which are ameliorated or overcome in structured antiperspirant emulsions in which (%s by weight of the emulsion) i) the hydrophilic phase comprises 25 to 55%; ii) the hydrophilic phase contains 0 to 15% polyhydric alcohol; iii) the emulsifier comprises an alkyl dimethicone copolyol; iv) the weight ratio of the hydrophilic phase to the emulsifier is selected in the range of at least 60:1 v) the structurant comprises an acylated sugar and vi) the water-immiscible oil and the structurant are present in a weight ratio of 1.5:1 to 8.5:1.

  • Antiperspirant compositions
    Patent number: 6391291
    Abstract: A firm solid antiperspirant composition having a continuous phase comprising water-immiscible liquid containing i) one or more gelating structurant materials which form a network of fibres within the liquid, and ii) a polymeric thickener which has an organic polymer backbone containing at least five monomer repeat units, which polymer has the ability to increase the viscosity of the water-immiscible liquid in the absence of the gelating structurant materials; and iii) an antiperspirant active dispersed in the continuous phase, said composition being free from or containing less than 3% by weight of a fatty alcohol that is solid at 20° C.
