  • Patent number: 11058904
    Abstract: A composition in which the volatile silicone is partially or fully replaced by a plant oil. The plant oil containing composition is parity or better than the volatile silicone containing material but at lower cost. One example comprises a mixing product of at least one material chosen from antiperspirant actives and deodorant actives; greater than 10 weight % of a plant oil: and less than 40 weight % of a volatile silicone oil. Another examples comprises a mixing product of greater than 10 weight % of a plant oil; a gellant for the composition; and less than 40 weight % of a volatile silicone oil, wherein the composition does not contain an antiperspirant active or deodorant active.

  • Patent number: 5972319
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5833964
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5597556
    Abstract: 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.
