Abstract: Processes for making an antiperspirant emulsion composition and antiperspirant emulsion compositions are provided herein. In an embodiment, a process for making an antiperspirant emulsion composition includes combining water and an antiperspirant active component to form a water phase. A hydrophobic carrier and a structurant are combined to form an oil phase. The structurant has a melting point above ambient temperature. The oil phase is heated to a first temperature of at least a melting point of the structurant that is disposed in the oil phase. The water phase and the heated oil phase are mixed to form the antiperspirant emulsion composition. The antiperspirant emulsion composition is cooled under continued mixing.

Abstract: Methods for making clear stick antiperspirant compositions and products are provided herein. In one example, a method for making a clear stick antiperspirant composition comprises the steps of providing a solvent carrier at substantially below room temperature to define a cool solvent carrier. A gelling agent comprising dibenzylidene sorbitol is incorporated into the cool solvent carrier to form a solvent/DBS premix. An active antiperspirant compound and the solvent/DBS premix are combined.

Abstract: A water in oil emulsion composition includes an antiperspirant active, an emulsifier, and a combination of polyalkylene glycols making up between about 1 and about 12 wt. % of the total composition. The combination includes H[OCH2CH2]mOH (I), and H[OCHCH3CH2]nOH (II) in a ratio I:II ranging between about 1.5:1 and about 1:1.5.

Abstract: An antiperspirant composition includes an antiperspirant active compound and a particulate opacifying agent. The antiperspirant active compound is based upon an astringent metallic salt. The particulate opacifying agent has a refractive index greater than a comparable antiperspirant composition absent the particulate opacifying agent, provided that a difference in refractive index between the particulate opacifying agent and the comparable antiperspirant composition absent the particulate opacifying agent is less than or equal to about 0.3. An antiperspirant product including a container and the antiperspirant composition disposed in the container is also provided.
