ANHYDROUS ANTIPERSPIRANT AND DEODORANT COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING A SOLID, WATER-SOLUBLE, SKIN ACTIVE AGENT

摘要

Disclosed are anhydrous antiperspirant and deodorant compositions that comprise from about 0.1 % to about 30 % by weight of an antiperspirant or deodorant active; from about 0.1 % to about 20 % by weight of a water-soluble, skin active solid (e.g., solid, water-soluble vitamins or other nutrients) other than the antiperspirant or deodorant active; 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, wherein the composition is substantially free of nonvolatile organic liquids having a C log P value greater than about 7.0. The anhydrous compositions allow the water-soluble skin active solids to release into the sweat or other moisture on the skin more rapidly or to a greater extent, thus enhancing any skin active effect resulting from such active materials contacting the skin, especially the underarm area of skin.
