Abstract: An advantageous deodorizing composition comprising at least one zinc carboxylate salt and aluminium chlorohydrate is provided, as well as a deodorant consumer product comprising the same. Furthermore, a method of suspending aluminium chlorohydrate in an at least essentially anhydrous solvent is provided, as well as a method of preventing clumping of aluminium chlorohydrate in a deodorizing composition or a deodorant consumer product and a method of preventing clogging of a nozzle of a deodorant spray containing a deodorizing composition.

Abstract: A scented deodorizing agent comprising zinc neodecanoate, which is useful to provide a deodorancy benefit and a sustained scent benefit.

Abstract: A malodor-counteracting composition comprising (i) a salt of general formula (I) R1R2R3R4N+X???(I) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 are independently selected from C1-4 alkyl, or R1, R2, R3, R4 may together constitute a nitrogen-containing cyclic system in which the nitrogen is part of a pyridinium or an imidazolinium ring; and X? is a counterion characterized by its protonated form having an acidity constant (pKa) lying between 1 and 6; and (ii) an alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyl compound of the general formula R5R6C?CR7C(?O)YR8??(II) wherein R5, R6, R7 and R8 are independently selected from hydrogen and C1-10 hydrocarbyl residues which may be saturated, unsaturated, aromatic, cyclic, branched or unbranched, and are optionally substituted, or R5, R6, R7 and R8 may together constitute a cyclic system and Y is oxygen or a single covalent bond, with the proviso that Y is a covalent bond when R8 is hydrogen.
