METHOD OF MAKING ENHANCED EFFICACY ANTIPERSPIRANT ACTIVES

摘要

This invention comprises: (1) a wet grinding method for enhancing the activity of an aluminum or an aluminum/zirconium salt without the dilution and heating traditionally required wherein the enhancement is described as forming a salt wherein the amount of smaller aluminum species as represented by Peak 4 + Peak 5 is increased by an amount of at least 10% over the parent salt; and, if zirconium is present, the area of Peak 1 in the parent salt is at least 10% greater than the area of Peak 1 after grinding; (2) an enhanced aluminum or aluminum/zirconium salt itself; and (3) anhydrous (less than 4 % water excluding waters of hydration for the enhanced salt) antiperspirant and/or deodorant products made with the salts described in (2).
