Suspensoid antiperspirant stick compositions, which provide the user with excellent antiperspirant efficacy, reduced residue upon application to the skin, reduced residue on the skin after dry-down, and excellent cosmetics and aesthetics, are disclosed. These compositions are substantially free of water and comprise a volatile silicone material, a particulate antiperspirant active, a low melting point wax, and a non-volatile paraffinic hydrocarbon fluid selected from mineral oils and branched chain C.sub.16 -C.sub.68 hydrocarbons. The method of preventing and controlling perspiration wetness using these compositions is also disclosed.

Low residue antiperspirant sticks

Antiperspirant cream compositions, which exhibit reduced residue on the skin and excellent cosmetics and aesthetics, as well as good composition stability over time, are claimed. These compositions, which may be formulated to have relatively high viscosities, include a volatile silicone material, a particulate antiperspirant active, a clay thickening agent, an activator for the clay thickening agent, and a non-volatile paraffinic hydrocarbon fluid, such as mineral oil or branched chain C.sub.16 -C.sub.68 hydrocarbons. A method of treating or preventing perspiration in humans using these compositions is also claimed.
