  • Patent number: 9700495
    Abstract: A method for making an emulsified antiperspirant product is provided. The product has a continuous phase with a water-immiscible liquid and a disperse aqueous phase with an antiperspirant active. The method steps include providing a water-immiscible liquid; providing a volatile aqueous solution with an antiperspirant active; combining the water-immiscible liquid and the aqueous solution to form an emulsion with a continuous phase including the water-immiscible liquid and a disperse phase including the aqueous solution; providing a structurant separate from the emulsion and adding it to the emulsion to form an emulsified antiperspirant composition. The emulsified antiperspirant composition is heated to a temperature between 60° C. and 110° C. from 15 minutes to less than 2 hours. The emulsified antiperspirant composition is transferred into one or more dispensing containers. The batch weight of the emulsified antiperspirant composition may be greater than 20 kg.

  • Patent number: 9149662
    Abstract: Methods for making antiperspirant products in the form of emulsions are provided, wherein the emulsion comprises a continuous water-immiscible phase and a disperse aqueous phase comprising an antiperspirant active. The method comprises the steps of providing a water-immiscible liquid, providing an aqueous solution comprising an antiperspirant active, preparing an emulsion comprising a continuous phase including the water-immiscible liquid and a disperse phase including the aqueous solution, heating the emulsion to a temperature between about 60° C. and about 110° C., providing a structurant that is at least partially dissolved, adding the heated emulsion to the at least partially dissolved structurant to form an emulsified antiperspirant composition, and transferring the emulsified antiperspirant into a dispensing container within about 2 hours of initiating the heating step.
