Abstract
The present invention is directed to antiperspirant compositions which comprise from about 0.1% to about 99.9% by weight of solubilized or solid antiperspirant active and from about 0.1% to about 99.9% by weight of a carrier which comprises 1,2-hexanediol, preferably in combination with a volatile silicone liquid carrier and dimethiconol as a coupling agent. The 1,2-hexanediol carrier is a highly effective coupling agent and is milder to the skin when applied topically to the axilla or other areas of the skin as compared to many other polyol-containing carriers. Preferred are antiperspirant compositions containing solubilized antiperspirant active.
