Patent number: 5972319Abstract: Disclosed are antiperspirant stick compositions that exhibit substantially less visible residue (whitening) upon application to the skin or after drying and which exhibit improved aesthetics and superior cosmetic properties. The compositions include (a) non-volatile emollients that are not silicone materials and which have (individually or as a mixture) a refractive index of at least 1.4460, and which have adsorption and desorption properties relative to the antiperspirant material sufficient to achieve the desired reduction in residue (whiteness); (b) a vehicle (for example, cyclomethicone), (c) a gelling agent (for example, stearyl alcohol and hydrogenated castor oil); (d) at least one active antiperspirant material (for example, particulate antiperspirant metal salts); and (e) a surfactant.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1997Date of Patent: October 26, 1999Assignee: The Colgate-Palmolive CompanyInventors: Elizabeth Linn, Kathy J.

Patent number: 5833964Abstract: Disclosed are antiperspirant stick compositions that exhibit substantially no visible residue (whitening) upon application to the skin or after drying. The compositions include both emollients that are silicone materials and emollients that are not silicone materials, these materials having a refractive index of at least 1.4460, in addition to including a vehicle (for example, cyclomethicone), a gelling agent (for example, stearyl alcohol and hydrogenated castor oil) and the active antiperspirant material (for example, particulate antiperspirant metal salts). These compositions reduce the necessity of using expensive silicone materials, while still achieving antiperspirant compositions with substantially no visible residue.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1997Date of Patent: November 10, 1998Assignee: Colgate-Palmolive CompanyInventors: Elizabeth Linn, Consuelo P. de la Rosa, Radhakrishna B.

Patent number: 5597556Abstract: A colored, soap-gelled composition, comprising an alcohol, a soap in an amount effective to gel the composition, an alkali metal bicarbonate, and an inorganic pigment. Whereas alkali metal bicarbonate deodorant compositions colored with FD & C or D & C colorants do not exhibit stable color for extended periods of time, the compositions of the present invention, using inorganic pigments, exhibit stable color for extended periods, even under accelerated, e.g., high temperature, conditions.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1995Date of Patent: January 28, 1997Assignee: The Mennen CompanyInventors: Bhalchandra Moghe, Makarand Shevade, Radhakrishna Kasat, Elizabeth Linn
