Abstract: A personal care product comprises an antiperspirant product that is housed within a container. The antiperspirant product comprises a dispersed cooling sensation agent that is adsorbed onto surfaces of silica particles that are dispersed throughout the antiperspirant product, absorbed into pores of the silica particles or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A personal care product comprises an antiperspirant product that is housed within a container. The antiperspirant product includes a first portion comprising a dispersed cooling sensation agent. A second portion has a composition different from the first portion and comprises a solubilizer.

Abstract: A personal care product comprises an antiperspirant product that comprises an active antiperspirant compound, and titanium dioxide particles that comprise anhydrous silver compound selected from the group consisting of anhydrous silver chloride, anhydrous silver lactate, anhydrous silver citrate, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A friction test system for an antiperspirant/deodorant (APDO) product generally includes a substrate having a test surface and a mount assembly configured to hold the APDO product in contact with the test surface and maintain an applied force between the APDO product and the test surface such that the applied force is substantially normal to the test surface. An actuator (e.g., a linear actuator) is configured to move the mount assembly laterally along an axis substantially perpendicular to the applied force during a testing mode. A force sensor is configured to determine the frictional force experienced by the APDO product during the testing mode. A processor coupled to the mount assembly, the actuator, and the force sensor, is configured to determine the coefficient of friction of the APDO product with respect to the test surface based on a ratio of the applied force and the frictional force.

Abstract: Antiperspirant compositions and methods for fabricating antiperspirant compositions are provided. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, an antiperspirant composition comprises an active antiperspirant compound, stearyl alcohol, and a 14/16 chain fatty alcohol present in an amount of from about 0.5 to about 6 weight percent of the antiperspirant composition.

Abstract: Antiperspirant products comprising natural phospholipids and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. In an embodiment, an antiperspirant product comprises an active antiperspirant compound and a natural phospholipid. In another embodiment, a method of manufacturing an antiperspirant product comprises combining an active antiperspirant compound and a natural phospholipid at a first temperature to form a mixture, pouring the mixture into molds at a second temperature that is lower than the first temperature, and cooling the mixture to a third temperature that is lower than the second temperature.

Abstract: Antiperspirant products with whiter color and enhanced skin feel and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. In an embodiment, an antiperspirant product comprises an active antiperspirant compound and linoleamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate dimethicone. The antiperspirant product has an L* value according to the CIE L*a*b* color scale of at least 93.

Abstract: Personal care product dispenser systems include a dispenser and a base station. The dispenser comprises a casing including a personal care product and a shaft. The personal care product is disposed within the casing and comprises an antiperspirant or deodorant. The shaft extends through a portion of the casing and including a first end and a second end and is configured to advance the personal care product through the casing when rotated in a first direction. The second end has a chuck contact surface defining a first shape. The base station includes a motor and a chuck. The motor is operatively coupled to the chuck and is configured to rotate the chuck, and the chuck has a wheel contact surface to correspond to the first shape of the chuck contact surface. The base station is configured to rotate the chuck when the dispenser is mounted to the base station.

Abstract: Personal care product dispensers include a housing, a platform, a personal care product, a hydraulic mechanism, and a tab. The housing has a main opening and an interior compartment. The platform is disposed within the interior compartment of the housing. The personal care product is disposed on the platform. The hydraulic mechanism is in operable communication with the platform. The tab is operatively coupled to the hydraulic mechanism. The hydraulic mechanism is configured to exert a force against the platform to advance the platform and the personal care product through the interior compartment of the housing in response to user manipulation of the tab.
