Abstract: The invention refers to a new cosmetic gel product which contains oils or fats and suitable gel forming polymers and which has improved characteristics as regards stability and structure. The product of the invention comprises 5-85% by weight of a fat phase forming agent selected from among oils, hydrogenated hydrocarbons, alkenes, mono esters, di esters, tri esters and mixtures thereof, 0.1-15% by weight of a further gelling agent selected from among 12-hydroxy stearic acid, polyethylene whose molecular weight is between 400 and 2500 Daltons, glyceryl behenate and mixtures thereof, 0.5-5% by weight of a surface-active agent, and ad 100% by weight other auxiliary substances, carrier substances, active substances and mixtures thereof, all percentages being relative to the weight of the gel product. The product is wax-free and free of fatty absorbing substances and has as a stick a water content up to 60% and with no sweating or bleeding.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new cosmetic cleansing composition with improved skin conditioning and stability properties. Said cleansing composition contains (in % by weight) 5-60% of a surface-active agent, 0.1-10% of a diblock or triblock copolymer or a mixture thereof, 0.1-10% of a saturated liquid oligomer of an unsaturated fatty acid, said oligomer having more than 30 carbon atoms, 0.1-30% of an oil or fat, 10-80% of water, nd has an improved average foam stability ranging between 35 and 60 mm according to the foam stability test.

Abstract: An antiperspirant stick composition is provided. The antiperspirant composition comprises: (a) from about 15% to about 25% by weight of an acidic antiperspirant active metal salt; (b) from about 1% to about 70% by weight of a polar solvent which is not a monohydric alcohol; (c) from about 5% to about 15% by weight of an aprotic solvent; (d) from about 2% to about 5% by weight of a gelling agent; and (e) from about 0.05% to about 0.3% by weight of an antimicrobial agent. The antiperspirant composition is stable without the inclusion of a stabilizing agent and also is relatively odorless and clear resulting in an aesthetically desirable antiperspirant composition which eliminates the need for masking fragrances.
