Abstract
A solid antiperspirant product, such as a stick, suitable for topical application to the skin comprises an antiperspirant agent in the form of fine particles dispersed in a solid matrix. The matrix comprises anhydrous ethanol, anhydrous isopropanol or a mixture thereof, an hydrophobically-treated clay as a suspending agent, a gelling agent and other antiperspirant adjuncts as required. The weight ratio of the suspending agent to the anhydrous alcohol is from 1:3 to 1:15 to achieve maximum efficacy as measured by sweat weight reduction following topical application of the product to perspiring skin.
