ANTIPERSPIRANT COMPOSITION COMPRISING MICA AND FATTY ALCOHOL WAX

摘要

The visual appearance of skin such as axilla skin is not improved significantly by topical application of an antiperspirant composition that is a stick that comprises at least 8% by weight of a fatty alcohol gellant. The visual appearance of a cosmetic antiperspirant composition comprising 5-30% of an astringent antiperspirant salt, 40-80% of a continuous liquid phase comprising at least one water-immiscible oil and 5-30% of a fatty alcohol wax gellant, as indicated by tone, radiance and smoothness, is enhanced by incorporating at least 0,25% of a mica pigment, optionally on the presence of a di or tri-hydric humectant and/or a triglyceride oil. Preferably the composition comprises 20 to 35% by weight of a non-volatile oil, and/or a co-gellant that melts at from 75 to 90°C such as caster wax or polyethylene of molecular weight 300 to 600.
