The present invention provides for roll-on antiperspirant compositions and more particularly concerns antiperspirant compositions which are clear and, when applied to the human skin, do not leave a visible white residue after drying. The present invention is also particularly concerned with the preparation of clear antiperspirant roll-on compositions which are stable under varying temperature conditions and also provide a suitable cosmetically acceptable feel or sensation when applied to the human skin.

Antiperspirant roll-on compositions

Clear antiperspirant roll-on compositions

The invention provides stable, substantially anhydrous, transparent, gelled cosmetic compositions useful for the preparation of deodorant and antiperspirant sticks which are substantially free of lower, aliphatic, monohydroxy alcohols. The compositions contain dibenzylidene monosorbitol acetal as a gelling agent and are stabilized by the presence of an inorganic base.

Clear gelled antiperspirant stick composition

A clear cosmetic gel stick composition consisting essentially of from about 60 to about 90% of an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol having from 2 to 6 carbons and from 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups; from about 3 to about 8% soap; from about 1 to about 7% of a water-soluble emollient that is polyoxyalkylene ether of a fatty alcohol, the alcohol moiety having from about 8 to about 22 carbons and the number of alkylene glycol ether units having an average value of at least about 20; from about 1 to about 5% of a water-dispersible emollient that is a polyoxyethylene ether of a branched chain fatty alcohol, the fatty alcohol moiety having from about 8 to about 22 carbons and the average number of ethylene glycol ether units being from 1 to about 6, and from about 10 to about 20% water.
