Disclosed are antiperspirant compositions which comprise from about 0.1% to about 50% by weight of solubilized antiperspirant active (e.g., aluminum-containing active or aluminum-zirconium containing active); and from about 0.1% to about 99.9% by weight of a liquid polyol having at least 2 hydroxyl groups, wherein 2 hydroxyl groups are attached to the alpha and beta carbons of the liquid polyol and no more than 4 hydroxyl groups are attached to adjacent carbon atoms; a water-soluble, neutral amino acid; and a chlorine-containing inorganic acid; wherein the liquid polyol has a ClogP value of less than about 2.0, wherein the mole ratio of the neutral amino acid to the zirconium and aluminum is from about 0.09 to about 0.24, the mole ratio of the liquid polyol to the aluminum and zirconium is at least about 2.0:1, and the mole ratio of the zirconium and aluminum to chlorine is less than about 1.30:1. These antiperspirant compositions and corresponding methods of application provide improved antiperspirant efficacy, cosmetics, and mildness, and can prepared by simpler, more efficient, manufacturing methods. These compositions can also be used as base or intermediate materials to formulate other antiperspirant product forms providing similar performance benefits.
