Abstract: Disclosed are liquid antiperspirant compositions useful for both roll-on and aerosol antiperspirant applications. The compositions have reduced incidence of in-use skin irritation. The compositions comprise from about 10% to about 70%, by weight, of an antiperspirant active material, from about 1% to about 15%, by weight, of a suspension agent, from about 25% to about 75%, by weight, of a non-volatile silicone fluid component, and no more than about 15%, by weight, of volatile silicone fluid. In aerosol embodiments, the compositions can comprise the above composition as a concentrate in combination with an aerosol propellant.

Abstract: Antipersipirant cream compositions, comprising:(a) from about 5% to about 60% of a volatile silicone oil(b) from about 5% to about 60% of a non-volatile emollient having a viscosity of at least about 2 cs at 25.degree. C.;(c) from about 2% to about 10% of a particulate thickening material; and(d) from about 15% to about 45% of a particulate antiperspirant active material;wherein the compositions have penetration force values of from about 250 grams to about 800 grams. These compositions preferably contain a cosmetic powder material, at a level of from about 0.5% to about 20%. This invention also provides methods for making these compositions.

Abstract: Antiperspirant compositions comprising aluminum and zirconium. Efficacious, aqueous solution-stable, antiperspirant complexes comprise an aluminum compound, a zirconium compound, a water soluble neutral amino acid, and an inorganic acidic compound. The aluminum compound is an aluminum chlorohydrate having an aluminum to chlorine molar ratio of from about 1.60 to about 2.5 while the zirconium compound is a zirconyl hydroxychloride having a zirconium to chlorine molar ratio of from about 0.67 to about 2.0. In the antiperspirant complex, the aluminum to zirconium molar ratio is from about 2 to about 10, the total metal to chlorine molar ratio is less than about 1.30, and the neutral amino acid to total metal molar ratio is from about 0.09 to about 0.24. The neutral amino acid to total metal molar ratio is from about 0.09 to about 0.75 when the antiperspirant complex is used in non-aqueous systems.
