Abstract: The present invention relates to solidified, oil-in-water dispersion or emulsion deodorant or antiperspirant stick compositions. Disclosed is a deodorant or an antiperspirant stick composition in the form of an oil-in-water dispersion or emulsion, comprising: i) at least one lipophilic material having a melting point higher than 50° C.; ii) at least one nonionic emulsifier having a HLB value from 1 to 11 within an oil-in-water emulsifier mixture with an average HLB value in the range of from 6.8 to 11; iii) an aqueous cosmetically acceptable carrier; wherein said composition comprises at least 8% of said lipophilic material by weight of the composition; wherein said composition comprises higher than 50 wt % of water by weight of the composition; wherein said lipophilic material has a straight alkyl chain comprising at least 20 carbon atoms.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of antiperspirant compositions, in particular, compositions comprising antiperspirant actives. Disclosed is an antiperspirant composition comprising (i) lecithin; (ii) a non-ionic surfactant having a HLB value lower than 4.7 or higher than 8.6; (iii) at least one organic compound selected from fatty acid having 10-22 carbons, and fatty alcohol which is selected from oleyl alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, lanolin alcohol, heptanol, octanol, decanol, and nonanol; and (iv) a cosmetically acceptable carrier; wherein said composition comprises less than 30% of water; wherein said composition comprises at least 3% of said lecithin by weight of the composition. Also disclosed is a non-therapeutic method of reducing perspiration comprising a step of topical application of the antiperspirant composition.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of antiperspirant compositions, in particular, compositions comprising antiperspirant actives. Disclosed is an antiperspirant composition comprising (i) at least one hydrophobic sorbitan ester having HLB value between 1 and 7.0; (ii) at least one hydrophilic sorbitan ester having HLB value between 7.0 and 20; (iii) at least one organic compound selected from C7-C24 fatty acid, or C7-C24 fatty alcohol; and (iv) a cosmetically acceptable carrier; wherein said composition comprises less than 50% of water; wherein said composition comprises at least 2% said hydrophobic sorbitan ester by weight of the composition; wherein the weight ratio of organic compound to the combination of the hydrophobic sorbitan ester and the hydrophilic sorbitan ester is from 1:10 to 5:1; wherein the composition is free from antiperspirant active which comprises aluminium or zirconium.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of antiperspirant compositions, in particular, compositions comprising antiperspirant actives. Disclosed is an aqueous antiperspirant composition comprising: (i) nanocrystalline cellulose with a length from 1 run to 300 nm and a diameter from 1 nm to 20 nm; and (ii) a cosmetically acceptable carrier, wherein the ionic strength of the composition is lower than 0.016; wherein said composition is not a pickering emulsion; wherein surface of said nanocrystalline cellulose comprises hydroxyl and sulfate groups, wherein said composition comprises from 1 to 20 wt % of said nanocrystalline cellulose based on total weight of the composition.
