Abstract:
A clear antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition is disclosed in the form of an emulsion having a refractive index less than 1.42 and comprising: (a) 25-70% of an external phase comprising: (i) 0.1-10%, on an actives basis, of at least one elastomer which is a cyclomethicone (and) dimethicone crosspolymer made with an =Si-H containing polysiloxane and an alpha, omega-diene of formula CH2=CH(CH2)xCH=CH2 , where x=1-20, to form a gel by crosslinking and addition of =Si-H across double bonds in the alpha, omega diene, which crosspolymer has a viscosity in the range of 50,000-3,000,000 centipoise; (ii) 0.1-5% of a silicone copolyol having an HLB value

Abstract:
A stick or soft solid suspension product comprising: (a) 0.01-20 weight % of a polyacrylate superabsorbent polymer (sodium salt), with a salt or ionic strength tolerance under a Baseline Absorption Test sufficient to give at least 25 weight % water absorption; (b) 10-88 weight % of a volatile silicone having a flash point of 100 degrees C or less; (c) a selected gelling agent; provided that the water content is ≤ 2 weight % and the ratio of superabsorber to active salt is in the range of 0.13-4 : 1.
Abstract:
A gelled stick or soft gel composition for reducing underarm wetness comprising: (a) 0.01-20 weight % selected from the group consisting of starch graft homopolymers and copolymers of poly(2-propenamide-co-2-propenioic acid) sodium salt; (b) 10-88 weight % of a volatile silicone; (c) a gelling agent selected from (i) a group consisting of 5-20 weight % siliconized polyamide if a gelled stick is formed; and (ii) 0-5 weight % of a siliconized polyamide and 0-5% of a silicone elastomer if a soft gel is formed; (d) 0.05-85 weight % of water or a water soluble organic solvent; (e) for products which are not sticks, 0.05-5 weight % of a surfactant with a HLB value in the range of 3-13; (f) 0-10 weight % of an antiperspirant active or an effective amount of a deodorizing agent which is not an antiperspirant active; (g) 0-20 weight % of a nonvolatile silicone; and (h) 0-20 weight % of an emollient.
