A dispenser () suitable for delivery of a cream, gel or soft solid composition comprising: (vi) a convex applicator surface () at an upper end; (vii) a replaceable cartridge () containing a composition to be dispensed; (viii) a passageway between the cartridge and the applicator surface; (ix) a drive mechanism for forcing the composition from the cartridge through the passageway and onto the applicator surface; and (x) an outer body () containing features (ii) to (iv); the drive mechanism comprising a dial unit () and a plunger (), rotation of the dial unit () in a first direction advancing the plunger () axially upwards, the plunger () acting upon a piston seal () at the base of the replaceable cartridge (), thereby forcing the contained composition upwards and outwards through the passageway and onto the applicator surface (); rotation of the dial unit () in a second direction, counter to the first, rotationally re-setting the dial unit () relative to the plunger () in readiness for a further advancement of the plunger (), rotation in the second direction not causing significant axial movement of the plunger ().

Dispenser for a cream, gel or soft solid composition

An antiperspirant composition and a dispenser therefor, the composition being a gel, cream or soft solid of viscosity from 3000 mPa&#xb7;s to 5200 mPa&#xb7;s at a shear rate of 16/s comprising a non-pore blocking inhibitor of perspiration and the dispenser comprising a dome-shaped applicator surface of radius of curvature decreasing from a maximum of from 25 to 60 mm at its top/center to a value of from 75 to 95% of its maximum value at a distance of 1 cm from its top/center.
