CLEAR COSMETIC STICK COMPOSITION

摘要

The present invention is directed to a clear cosmetic stick composition (e.g., a clear deodorant stick composition) gelled with a soap gelling agent and containing alcohol and water, the composition further containing alkoxylate materials selected from alkoxylate homopolymers and/or dimethicone copolyols as clarifying agents. Illustrative clarifying agents include C14-15 Pareth-2.25, C-14-15 Pareth-13, Ceteareth-55, PPG-10 Cetyl Ether, PEG-6 Lauramide, and dimethicone copolyols with ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide side chains. The stick composition having the clarifiying agents of the present invention has improved clarity and maintains clarity for extended periods of time, and has improved pliability while maintaining rididity of the stick product.
