Transparent aqueous-based roll-on antiperspirant composition

摘要

Disclosed is an aqueous underarm composition such as an antiperspirant which can be dispensed from a roll-on dispenser and which composition is transparent and does not contain monohydric alcohol. The composition is in the form of a solution, whereby transparency is achieved by direct solubility, without a necessity of microemulsions or of matching refractive indices of different phases. The composition includes at least a solution of antiperspirant active material; propylene glycol; PEG-12; octoxynol-13; hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; and water. The composition desirably also includes an antibacterial agent (e.g., Triclosan) and a fragrance; and optionally also contains PPG-5-ceteth-20, dimethicone copolyol and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.
