An antiperspirant stick composition can include a synthetic wax, a fatty alcohol, a hydrophilic surfactant having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value greater than 10, a plasticizer present in an amount to minimize hardening of the composition due to contact with an aqueous composition, and an effective amount of an antiperspirant active agent. The hydrophilic surfactant can be present in an amount sufficient to minimize perspiration-induced discoloration of fabric in contact with the composition. The fatty alcohol and the antiperspirant active agent can be present at a weight ratio of from about 2:1 to about 1:2.

Antiperspirant stick compositions

An antiperspirant stick composition can include a synthetic wax having a melting point of less than or equal to 90&#xb0; C., a melting point additive present at a weight ratio to the synthetic wax to provide the composition with a melting point greater than or equal to 40&#xb0; C., an effective amount of an antiperspirant active agent, and less than 2 wt % hydrogenated oils, petrolatum, 12-hydroxystearic acid, polyethylenes having a melting point greater than or equal to 60&#xb0; C., and combinations thereof.

The fatty alcohol and the antiperspirant active agent can be present at a weight ratio of from 2:1 to 1:2.

Wax melt compositions loaded with a volatile agent for release therefrom having beneficial performance properties and behavior are disclosed and described. In certain embodiments, such was melt compositions can include a wax component, a releasable volatile agent, a first inorganic thickener that is hydrophobically modified, and a second inorganic thickener.
