摘要

Disclosed are anhydrous antiperspirant and deodorant compositions comprising from about 0.1 % to about 30 % by weight of an underarm active (antiperspirant and/or deodorant active); from about 0.01 % to about 10 % by weight of a solid, encapsulated, water-soluble, d-pantothenate salt such as calcium pantothenate; from about 0.1 % to about 40 % by weight of a suspending agent; and from about 10 % to about 99 % by weight of an anhydrous carrier liquid. Also disclosed are methods of controlling perspiration wetness and/or odor through the topical application to the underarm, especially shaven underarms, of an underarm active and a solid pantothenate salt. The anhydrous compositions are mild to the skin and can help sooth or heal skin irritated or damaged underarm skin, especially when such irritation and damage is the result of occasional or routine shaving of the underarm.
