摘要

2077437 9115191 PCTABS00007 Antiperspirant compositions in the form of gel sticks, which provide the user with excellent antiperspirant efficacy while exhibiting good stability, are disclosed. These compositions utilize particular gellling agents which are stable under the acidic conditions required in antiperspirant compositions. Specifically, the compositions have an acidic pH and include an antiperspirant active, a solvent for the antiperspirant active, and a gelling agent which comprises dibenzylidene alditols substituted on the benzene ring with an electron withdrawing group. Examples of preferred gelling agents include di(meta-fluoro) dibenzylidene sorbitol and di(meta-chloro) dibenzylidene sorbitol. The method of preventing and controlling perspiration wetness using these compositions is also disclosed.
