Antiperspirant formulations

摘要

Anhydrous antiperspirant formulations in which a particulate antiperspirant active is suspended in a carrier fluid can result in significant visible deposits when applied to skin or when transferred onto clothing. Anhydrous antiperspirant suspension sticks which exhibit very low visible deposits are obtainable by employing a carrier fluid in which at least 45% and preferably at least 60% of its weight comprises an oxygen-containing emollient oil having a refractive index of at least 1.465, in conjunction with structurant comprises a wax or a non-polymeric fiber-forming gellant, excluding certain gellants or gellant combinations. Preferred emollient oils include alkyl benzoates and alkylphenylsiloxanes. The waxes can even comprise fatty alcohols.
