An antiperspirant composition may include an aqueous carrier; and at least 4 to 7 weight percent of an aluminum and/or aluminum-zirconium antiperspirant active containing at least a Peak 4 specie. An antiperspirant composition may also include an aqueous carrier; and an aluminum and/or aluminum-zirconium antiperspirant active containing at least a Peak 4 specie, wherein the antiperspirant active contains less than 3 area percent Peak 1 and/or Peak 2 species from an HPLC chromatograph of the antiperspirant composition.

Antiperspirant compositions

This patent pertains to the use of anionic polyurethanes in a solubilized state which contribute to enhanced aesthetics to skin care compositions. The polyurethanes may be used alone or in combination with another polymer, particularly acrylate and methacrylate polymers.

Use of solubilized, anionic polyurethanes in skin care compositions

A thickener-rheology modifier system for use in hair care and skin care compositions comprising: where R is H and Ris H, C&#x2013;Calkyl, or &#x2014;CHCOOX; R is &#x2014;COOX and Ris H or &#x2014;CHCOOX; and R is CHand Ris H, C&#x2013;Calkyl or &#x2014;CHCOOX; and X is H or C&#x2013;Calkyl; where Y is H or CHand Z iswhere R is Cto Calkyl; and where R is an alkyl group of 6 to 22 carbon atoms or an alkaryl of 8 to 22 carbon atom, x is an average number of from about 6 to 200, y is an average number of from about 0 to 50 and A is residue of an unsaturated carboxylic acid having the formula: were R' is H, &#x2014;COOH or CHand R&#x2033; is H, CH, &#x2014;COOH or &#x2014;CHCOOH; and Preferably the thickener-rheology modifier system will contain a surfactant and more preferably will contain boric acid.

Thickener-rheology modifier system for personal care compositions

A selected thickener-rheology modifier system comprising the combination of a hydrophobically, modified alkali-soluble thickener and a polysaccharide hydrocolloid or gum or polyalkylene glycol, preferably with a surfactant and more preferably with boric acid is especially useful in personal care compositions such as hair care and skin care compositions.

A stable oil-in-water emulsion for use in cosmetic compositions comprising an oil phase which contains the combination of a polysaccharide such as animo-mullticarboxylate starch derivative and a dimethicone copolyol as emulsifier, and a water phase.
