PERFUME-FREE TWO PHASE COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING BODY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ODOR

摘要

The present invention relates to an aqueous odor-absorbing composition which is safe for use on human skin comprising solubilized, water-soluble, uncomplexed cyclodextrin; an oil phase selected from the group consisting of emollients, moisturizers, skin protectants, and mixtures thereof; one or more surfactants each having hydrophilic/lipophilic balance of about 8-18, and wherein each surfactant, when combined with an aqueous cyclodextrin solution, provides no less than about 25 % a level of odor capture as an aqueous cyclodextrin solution; and an aqueous carrier. The present invention also encompasses methods of controlling body and environmental odors on skin comprising the application to skin of these compositions.
