Abstract: Antiperspirant application devices including antiperspirant compositions and methods of using the antiperspirant application devices are provided herein. In an embodiment, an antiperspirant application device includes a skin-adhesive, transdermal patch including an adhesive compound capable of adhesion to human skin and an antiperspirant active compound based upon an astringent metallic salt disposed within at least a portion of the skin-adhesive, transdermal patch.

Abstract: A mixed powder antiperspirant and methods for producing and using such mixed powder antiperspirants are provided. The method includes mixing an active ingredient, a film former, and a diluent to form the mixed powder antiperspirant. The use of a coating agent is limited to no more than about 10 weight percent based on the total weight of the mixed powder antiperspirant, where a coating agent is (i) any non-water soluble wax, oil, fat, or fatty alcohol with a straight chain alkane or alkene group of 10 or more carbon atoms, (ii) polyethylene, or (iii) cyclomethicone.

Abstract: Materials and apparatus are provided that include non-ionic polymers. An antiperspirant composition with non-ionic polymers includes an active antiperspirant ingredient disposed within the antiperspirant composition. The antiperspirant composition further includes a non-ionic modified cellulose polymer disposed within the antiperspirant composition. The non-ionic modified cellulose polymer forms between 0.01 to 5.0 weight percent of the antiperspirant composition. The antiperspirant composition further includes a non-ionic calcium salt disposed within the antiperspirant composition. The non-ionic calcium salt forms between 0.01 to 5.0 weight percent of the antiperspirant composition.

Abstract: Materials and apparatus are provided that include an enhanced evaporative mechanism. A solid antiperspirant composition includes an antiperspirant agent disposed within the solid antiperspirant composition. Further, the solid antiperspirant composition includes an enhanced evaporative component disposed within the solid antiperspirant composition. The enhanced evaporative component includes a spreading agent configured to reduce the surface tension of perspiration molecules.

Abstract: Materials and apparatus are provided that include an enhanced evaporative component. A solid antiperspirant composition includes an antiperspirant agent disposed within the solid antiperspirant composition. Further, the solid antiperspirant composition includes an enhanced evaporative component disposed within the solid antiperspirant composition. The enhanced evaporative component includes a first spreading agent configured to reduce the surface tension of perspiration molecules. The enhanced evaporative component also includes a volatile to increase the volatility of perspiration molecules. Still further, the enhanced evaporative component includes an entrapment material disposed within the solid antiperspirant composition to contain the volatile.

Abstract: Methods for making clear stick antiperspirant compositions and products are provided herein. In one example, a method for making a clear stick antiperspirant composition comprises the steps of providing a solvent carrier at substantially below room temperature to define a cool solvent carrier. A gelling agent comprising dibenzylidene sorbitol is incorporated into the cool solvent carrier to form a solvent/DBS premix. An active antiperspirant compound and the solvent/DBS premix are combined.

Abstract: A cosmetic agent that takes the place of powdered talc is described herein. The present cosmetic agent is a skin conditioning and lubricating crème comprising talc; at least one volatile silicone fluid; at least one structuring component; and at least one emollient. The inventive composition provides skin conditioning and lubrication without the inconveniences inherent in using powdered products such as talcum powder.

Abstract: Multi-phase liquid antiperspirant compositions and antiperspirant products including multi-phase liquid antiperspirant compositions are provided. In one embodiment, a multi-phase liquid antiperspirant composition includes a first liquid phase, a second liquid phase, and a surfactant component. The first liquid phase includes an antiperspirant active compound and water. The second liquid phase includes a cyclomethicone component. The surfactant component is present in the multi-phase liquid antiperspirant composition in an amount sufficient to form an unstable emulsion of the first liquid phase and the second liquid phase upon mixing of the multi-phase liquid antiperspirant composition. The first liquid phase and the second liquid phase separate into visibly distinct layers within the multi-phase liquid antiperspirant composition after a settling time period of less than or equal to 48 hours.
