An amino acid free stable aluminum zirconium polyhydric alcohol aqueous solution having a high anhydrous antiperspirant solid concentration and a high percentage of low molecular weight aluminum species, i.e., containing 60% or more of band IV peak area based on high pressure liquid chromatography, is prepared by adding a zirconium salt to an aqueous polyhydric alcohol solution of a basic aluminum chloride.

Amino acid free stable aluminum/zirconium antiperspirant solution

Aluminum and aluminum-zirconium antiperspirant compositions of enhanced efficacy and a pH value of at least 3.5 are provided that are made by reaction with insoluble, strongly alkaline strontium or calcium salts. The aluminum and aluminum-zirconium strontium or calcium compositions show high pH values with characteristic HPLC Band III to Band II ratios of at least 0.5. The basic aluminum halohydrate (or nitrate) solutions typically have aluminum to anion ratio of less that 1.9. The solution compositions are stable with respect to both HPLC Band III to Band II ratio and viscosity at concentrations of about 20% to about 40% by weight of anhydrous solid. The solid state compositions form hard sticks with low irritation, at low metal to chloride ratios of about 0.9 to about 1.2.

High pH antiperspirant compositions of enhanced efficacy

A stable aluminum-zirconium aqueous solution of enhanced efficacy having a high concentration free of amino acid and polyhydric alcohol is disclosed. Such aluminum-zirconium salts are selected from aluminum/zirconium tetrachlorohydrate; aluminum/zirconium pentachlorohydrate, and aluminum/zirconium octachlorohydrate in which the aluminum to zirconium (Al/Zr) atomic ratio of said salt falls within the limits of the shaded areas A, B, and C, respectively, of the drawing graph wherein the aluminum/zirconium tetrachlorohydrate has an Al/Zr atomic ratio from about 2 to about 6 and metal/chloride molecular ratio about 0.9 to about 1.25; aluminum/zirconium pentachlorohydrate having Al/Zr atomic ratio from about 6 to about 10 and metal/chloride atomic ratio from about 1.5 to about 1.65; and aluminum/zirconium octachlorohydrate having Al/Zr molecular ratio from about 6 to about 10 and metal/chloride molecular ratio from about 0.9 to about 1.5.

Stable aluminum/zirconium antiperspirant solution free of amino acid and polyhydric alcohol

A novel efficacious and less irritant aluminum-zirconium antiperspirant composition is provided by the addition of a small amount of AlCland/or HCl to the activated aluminum component. After the heating of diluted basic aluminum chlorohydrate solution, cooling to room temperature, mixing with small amount of AlClor HCl and then reacting with zirconium glycine complex, an aluminum-zirconium salt is produced with a maximum amount of depolymerization aluminum and zirconium species. The addition of a small amount of AlClor HCl to the diluted and activated aluminum chlorohydrate solution accelerates the depolymerization of the activated ACH solution, and upon the addition of zirconium glycinate the solution is further depolymerized and results in the formation of less polymerized zirconium species.

Method of making aluminum-zirconium antiperspirant of enhanced efficacy

An improved skin friendly antiperspirant is provided in which a suitable polyhydric alcohol e.g., glycerin, is complexed with the antiperspirant of the type of activated or nonactivated aluminum or aluminum/zirconium salt that are commonly considered antiperspirant active materials and are covered by FDA OTC Tentative Final Monograph as Category I. Suitable antiperspirant salts include (but are not limited to): aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum sesquichlorohydrate, aluminum chlorohydrex PG, aluminum dichlorohydrex PG, aluminum sesquichlorohydrex PG, aluminum chlorohydrex PEG, aluminum sesquichlorohydrex PEG, aluminum chloride (15 percent or less aqueous solutions), aluminum zirconium chlorohydrates, aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium pentachlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrex Gly, aluminum zirconium penta chlorohydrex Gly, aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex Gly, aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex Gly, buffered aluminum sulfate, basic aluminum chlorides, zirconium hydroxychloride, zirconyl chloride, basic aluminum nitrates, basic aluminum chlorides combined with zirconyl oxychloride and/or hydroxychloride and organic complexes of each of basic aluminum chlorides with or without zirconyl chloride or zirconium hydroxychloride and mixture of any of the foregoing. Aluminum, zinc or zinc and zirconium complexes or aluminum, zinc and zirconium complexes with having metals/anion ratio of 0.9:1 to 2:1 where the anion is Cl, Br, I and/or NO, with or without additives such as amino acids or polyhydric alcohols.

Skin friendly antiperspirant composition and method of making

Stable aluminum-zirconium antiperspirant compositions in polyhydric alcohol solution with enhanced efficacy were made by direct reaction in aqueous solution of a soluble aluminum salt, a zirconium compound, a polyhydric alcohol, aluminum metal and optionally an amino acid buffer, and maintaining the solution at 100-140&deg; C. to form a 20-45% by weight concentration of aluminum-zirconium complexes on an anhydrous basis. A solid product can be obtained by spray drying the product solution.
