Abstract:
An anhydrous antiperspirant composition comprising:A) from about 0.1% to about 99.9% by weight of a liquid polyol having at least 4 adjacent carbon atoms and at least two hydroxyl groups, wherein 2 of the hydroxyl groups are attached to the .alpha. and .beta. carbons of the liquid polyol and no more than 4 of the hydroxyl groups are attached to adjacent carbon atoms, and wherein the liquid polyol has a C log P value of from about -4.0 to about 2.0;B) from about 0.1% to about 50% by weight of solubilized antiperspirant active selected from aluminum containing antiperspirant active and aluminum-zirconium containing antiperspirant active;C) a water-soluble, neutral amino acid; andD) a chlorine-containing inorganic acid;wherein the mole ratio of the neutral amino acid to the zirconium and aluminum is from about 0.09 to about 0.24, the mole ratio of the liquid polyol to the aluminum and zirconium is at least about 2.0:1, and the mole ratio of the zirconium and aluminum to chlorine is less than about 1.30:1.
