| Summary: | This invention relates to an improved efficacy antiperspirant gel with improved aesthetics, especially reduced tack or stickiness. The invention is a compressed water-in-oil emulsion comprising 65-90 weight % of an internal/dispersed active phase which (1) includes an antiperspirant active with a low metal:chloride ratio, (2) is free of added ethanol and propylene glycol, and (3) is free of elastomer, soap and borate gelling agents.
A non-sticky, clear water-in-oil emulsion comprising: (a) 65-90 weight % of an internal phase comprising 5-35 weight % of an antiperspirant salt (anhydrous basis) having a metal:chloride ratio in the range of 0.9-1.4:1; 5-15 weight % of tripropylene glycol; and 35-70 weight % water; and (b) 10-35 weight % of an external phase comprising 1-40 weight % of a volatile silicone which is not an elastomer; 0.1-5 weight % of a silicone copolyol surfactant; and 0-20 weight % of a nonvolatile silicone which is not an elastomer; wherein the composition is free of (1) C1-5 saturated alcohols, (2) added propylene glycol, (3) elastomer gelling agents, (4) soap gelling agents (5) borate gelling agents, and (6) coupling agents, and wherein all amounts are in % by weight based on the total weight of the composition. |
