Disclosed is a non-aqueous composition for reducing body malodor, containing an antiperspirant active material, volatile silicone material, non-volatile emollient material (e.g., non-volatile silicone emollient material), and a thickening agent, the thickening agent including a gelling agent which is a solid plasticizer. Illustrative gelling agents are hydroxy polyester and polydimethylsiloxanyl beeswax. Other beeswax derivatives whose free fatty acids have been reacted with silicone materials can also be used as the gelling agent for compositions of the present invention. The compositions of the present invention can be formulated as antiperspirant creams by incorporating appropriate amounts of antiperspirant active material and thickening agent in the composition, and can be used to reduce axillary perspiration. Compositions of the present invention have good rheological and viscoelastic properties.

Non-aqueous antiperspirant composition

Disclosed are clear, soap-gelled cosmetic (e.g., deodorant) stick compositions, containing alcohol and water, and including a combination of anionic (e.g., sodium laureth-13 carboxylate) and non-ionic (e.g., Ceteareth-55) surfactants as a clarifying agent. The non-ionic surfactants preferably include ethoxylated alcohols, and preferably have an HLB.gtoreq.24. The compositions can include various cosmetically active materials, including deodorant active materials (fragrance, Triclosan, etc.). The compositions have superior clarity and maintain superior clarity over extended periods of time, have improved (smoother) glide over the skin and a smoother surface, exhibit reduced syneresis in K-resin and polypropylene dispensing packages, and are easy to manufacture and have high gelling temperatures.

Clear cosmetic stick composition containing a combination of anionic and

The present invention is directed to a clear cosmetic stick composition (e.g., a clear deodorant stick composition) gelled with a soap gelling agent and containing alcohol and water, the composition further containing alkoxylate materials selected from alkoxylate homopolymers and/or dimethicone copolyols as clarifying agents. Illustrative clarifying agents include C14-15 Pareth-2.25, C14-15 Pareth-13, Ceteareth-55, PPG-10 Cetyl Ether, PEG-6 Lauramide, and dimethicone copolyols with ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide side chains. The stick composition having the clarifying agents of the present invention has improved clarity and maintains clarity for extended periods of time, and has improved pliability while maintaining rigidity of the stick product.

Clear cosmetic stick composition

A colored, soap-gelled composition, comprising an alcohol, a soap in an amount effective to gel the composition, an alkali metal bicarbonate, and an inorganic pigment. Whereas alkali metal bicarbonate deodorant compositions colored with FD & C or D & C colorants do not exhibit stable color for extended periods of time, the compositions of the present invention, using inorganic pigments, exhibit stable color for extended periods, even under accelerated, e.g., high temperature, conditions.

Colored bicarbonate containing solid composition

Disclosed is a low residue antiperspirant solid stick composition containing, in addition to an antiperspirant active material, volatile and non-volatile silicone materials, dimethicone copolyol and high-melting-point and low-melting-point waxes. The composition not only has low visible (white) residue after application and after drying, but also has good cosmetic properties, superior antiperspirancy and is easy to manufacture.

Low residue antiperspirant solid stick composition

The physical stability of liquid gel-like compositions based on thixotropic thickener is greatly improved by incorporating in the composition small amounts, such as 0.1 to 0.2 weight percent of long chain fatty acids and salts thereof. The aqueous compositions containing inorganic builder salts and other functional inorganic salts, chlorine bleach, bleach stable detergent, at least one thixotropic thickener and a fatty acid or alkali metal salt of the fatty acid as a physical stabilizer exhibit a significant increase in apparent viscosity and remain stable against phase separation for an extended period of time. The thixotropic properties can be retained or improved using smaller levels of the thixotropic thickener than in the absence of the physical stabilizer. The stability, chlorine-bleach loss and cleaning ability of the compositions is further improved, when the composition pH is at least 11.2, when added to an aqueous wash both at a concentration of about 10 grams per liter. Use as liquid gel-like automatic dishwasher compositions are described.

Thixotropic aqueous compositions containing adipic or azelaic acid

An aqueous solution of an alkali metal neutralized polyacrylic acid and an alkali metal detergent builder salt and/or an alkali metal silicate is used as a base stock polymeric solution for the fomulation of an automatic dishwasher detergent composition which is a linear viscoelastic, pseudoplastic, gel-like aqueous product of exceptionally good physical stability, low bottle residue, low cup leakage, and improved cleaning performance. Linear viscoelasticity and pseudoplastic behavior is attributed by incorporation of cross-linked high molecular weight polyacrylic acid type thickener. Potassium to sodium weight ratios of at least 1/1 minimize amount of undissolved solid particles to further contribute to stability and pourability. Control of incorporated air bubbles functions to provide the product with a bulk density of about 1.35 to 1.40 g/cc which roughly corresponds to the density of the liquid phase. Stearic acid or other fatty acid or salt further improved physical stability.
