  • Patent number: 8481012
    Abstract: Antiperspirant emulsion products and processes for forming antiperspirant emulsion products are provided. One process for making an antiperspirant emulsion product comprises the steps of heating and mixing water and an active antiperspirant compound to a first temperature to form a water phase. A hydrophobic carrier, a structurant, and cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone are heated and mixed to a second temperature that is greater than the first temperature to melt the structurant and form an oil phase. The oil phase is cooled and mixed to a third temperature. The water phase is gradually added to the oil phase to form an antiperspirant emulsion so that the water phase is present in an amount of from about 54 to about 89 wt. % and the oil phase is present in an amount of from about 11 to about 46 wt. % of the antiperspirant emulsion.
