## Background
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/540,931, filed 30 Jan. 2004.


FIELD
The present application concerns an antiperspirant aerosol composition and a packaged antiperspirant aerosol composition.
BACKGROUND
The control of underarm wetness has been an issue of varying importance as far back as ancient Egypt and Rome, but it was not until the late 1880's that the first commercial antiperspirant products were introduced, using unbuffered zinc and aluminum compounds. Since then, many strides have been taken in this field and a wealth of antiperspirant products is now available in a wide range of delivery forms, including roll-ons, sticks and aerosol sprays.
The present inventors are primarily concerned with providing improved aerosol spray compositions. Delivery of antiperspirant actives by means of aerosol sprays may suffer from one or more of a number of disadvantages. These can include the necessity to shake the aerosol canister prior to use to achieve an adequate dispersion of active agents, “dustiness” or “powderiness” generated by particulates in the spray, visible residue on the skin and clothing, excessive cooling of the skin on application due to the rapid boiling off of propellant and, last but not least, skin irritation.
Prior investigators in this field have not been idle in recent years: U.S. Pat. No. 5,968,489 addresses the issue of skin irritation and identifies a particular solubiliser for the antiperspirant active that may assist in achieving that objective. WO 03/002082 aims to reduce or solve the problems of dustiness and visible residue by solubilising the active within an anhydrous emulsion.
A disadvantage of compositions taught in the prior art is their unsatisfactory adherence to skin following dispensing. This can result in a large proportion of the antiperspirant active flaking or wicking off leaving only a small amount to do the job it is intended to do. The slightly older teaching found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,806,338 does consider this matter and proposes the use of functionalised siloxanes to overcome it. Functionalised siloxanes proposed by U.S. Pat. No. 4,806,338 can be disadvantageous, however, in that they may react with the antiperspirant active agents, either via an acid-base reaction in the case of aminofunctional silicones, which are Lewis bases (the antiperspirant actives are Lewis acids), or via a chelation reaction (in the case of the carboxy-functional silicones), which reactions can reduce the efficacy of the active. In addition, functional silicones of the type taught by U.S. Pat. No. 4,806,338 may have reduced solubility in the aerosol propellants (and vice versa) which can give rise to inhomogeneity in the product with resultant inhomogeneity of deposition on the target site.
It would be beneficial to provide an antiperspirant aerosol composition that can overcome the above-described disadvantages of the prior art.
SUMMARY
According to a first aspect of the invention, an antiperspirant aerosol composition is provided comprising antiperspirant active particulates, a propellant and at least 5% by weight of the entire antiperspirant aerosol composition of a silicone component, wherein:

    
    
        (a) the antiperspirant active particulates are the only solid particulates in the antiperspirant aerosol composition;
        (b) the silicone component comprises one or more silicones and the or each silicone is a non-volatile silicone.
    
    


According to a second aspect of the invention, a packaged antiperspirant aerosol composition is provided comprising a spray unit within which is comprised an antiperspirant aerosol composition according to the second aspect of the invention.
These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become evident to those skilled in the art from a reading of the present disclosure.
As used herein, the term “non-volatile” includes materials which have a vapor pressure of less than 0.01 mmHg (1.33322 Pa) when measured at 25° C. and have an average boiling point greater than 235° C., preferably greater than 250° C., when measured at 1 Atmosphere (0.101325 Mpa) of pressure.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
While the specification concludes with claims which particularly point out and distinctly claim the invention, it is believed the present invention will be better understood from the following description.
All weights, measurements and concentrations herein are measured at 25° C. on the composition in its entirety, unless otherwise specified.
Unless otherwise indicated, all percentages of compositions referred to herein are weight percentages of the total composition (i.e. the sum of all components present) and all ratios are weight ratios.
Unless otherwise indicated, all polymer molecular weights are weight average molecular weights.
Unless otherwise indicated, the content of all literature sources referred to within this text are incorporated herein in full by reference.
Except where specific examples of actual measured values are presented, numerical values referred to herein should be considered to be qualified by the word “about”.
The present invention relates to antiperspirant aerosol compositions comprising particulate active. Particulate actives enhance dry feel and efficacy on skin and are thus preferred to compositions comprising solubilized active.
The more homogenous an antiperspirant aerosol composition is immediately prior to application, the more homogenous will be the composition actually applied to a consumer's skin and the more uniform will be the cosmetic benefit thereby achieved. Gravity can work hard to destroy homogeneity, however, by causing particulates to settle out of antiperspirant aerosol compositions. To mitigate this problem, consumers are advised to shake the spray canister before use, but this is annoying and, in cases of extreme settling, it may not be sufficient. To reduce settling, a number of approaches may be employed, such as the inclusion of so-called “bulking agents” or “suspending agents” which act by thickening the formulation and reducing the settling rate. On another level, bulking agents can be regarded to act by filling the void space between suspended particles. Examples of bulking agents include hydrophobically treated montmorillonite clay such as bentonite and/or hectorite and some silicas. The hectorite and bentonite clays have a layered clay structure which expands or swells on contact with polar liquids, such as water, ethanol, propylene carbonate and mixtures of these materials. Bulking agents can contribute to a number of perceived disadvantages, however, including residue on skin and clothing. As a result of the above-mentioned disadvantages, the present inventors have moved away from the inclusion of bulking agents and combat the problem of active settling by including high viscosity polymeric material in the composition thus increasing the overall viscosity of the final product to reduce the settling rate. In addition, to minimise settling problems altogether, the present compositions comprise no solid particulates other than the antiperspirant active particles.
In addition to improving the consistency and reducing the dustiness of the composition, further objectives of the present inventor were improving the efficiency of the composition to ensure that as much of the active agent as possible stays at the application site and improving the cosmetics of the product by reducing residues on skin and clothes.
Traditionally, antiperspirant aerosol sprays have incorporated silicones to provide lubrication and to improve the adherence of the particulate active agents to the skin. Historically, these silicone materials tended to be volatile silicone oils. It has now been established, however, that evaporation of the volatile oils following application can reduce the tendency of the active agents to adhere to the skin with time to a surprising degree, thereby allowing the particulates to become detached following just minor motion or abrasion by clothing not long after application. The present inventors have also learned that this tendency may be significantly reduced when non-volatile fluids are employed in place of the volatile oils—by so doing a far greater percentage of the active agent may be retained on the skin for a longer period of time to perform the task it is there to do. Furthermore, volatile silicone oils are lower in viscosity than the non-volatile fluids to the extent that compositions containing them may require additional thickening to reduce the problem of settling, discussed above. That thickening was often achieved by means of bulking agents, with the attendant disadvantages such as the formation of visible residues, also discussed above. In summary, by employing non-volatile silicone fluids in place of volatile ones both objectives of improved adhesion of the active agents over time and reduction of residues may be achieved.
Antiperspirant aerosol compositions according to the invention may advantageously comprise from 1% wt to 25% wt, preferably from 3% wt to 20% wt and more preferred from 5% wt to 15% wt antiperspirant active.
The particulate antiperspirant active materials of this invention may comprise any compound or composition having antiperspirant activity. Astringent metallic salts are preferred antiperspirant materials for use herein, particularly including the inorganic and organic salts of aluminum, zirconium and zinc, and mixtures thereof. More preferred antiperspirant actives according to the present invention include aluminum and zirconium salts such as aluminum halides, aluminum hydroxide halides, zirconyl oxide halides, zirconyl hydroxy halides, and mixtures thereof. Yet more preferred are basic aluminium salts, since a number of the other types of salt, such as those of zirconium, give rise to inhalation safety concerns in an environment.

(the RPM range and/or spindle is adjusted by a person skilled in the art according to the viscosity of the material, with highly viscous materials being measured at lower RPMs than and with different spindles from low viscosity materials. This does not affect the final viscosity reading, but is needed to keep that reading on the Viscometer scale).

The emollients according to the invention may include silicones, such as silicone waxes. In that case, however, those silicones must be non-volatile silicones and they form part of the silicone component.
Antiperspirant aerosol compositions according to the invention may advantageously comprise active release agents that assist the active in being released from the silicone matrix onto the skin. These active release agents include aliphatic polyhydric alcohols having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, examples of which include propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, butylene glycol, 1,2-proplyene glycol, 1,3-propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol(1,3-butane-diol), glycerine(1,2,3-trihydroxy propane), 2-methyl-2,4-pentane-diol(hexylene glycol), 2-ethyl-1,3-hexane-diol, 1,2,6-hexanetriol, and combinations thereof. Advantageously, active release agents may be added to the composition in an amount from 0.01% wt to 10% wt, more preferred from 0.5% wt to 7% wt and more preferably still from 1% wt to 3% wt.
A certain amount of bound and unbound water is associated with the antiperspirant active particulates—the precise amounts depending upon how hygroscopic that active material is. Advantageously, the levels of that water will be balanced in order that, when the particulate antiperspirant active is placed in a highly nonpolar environment (such as that found in an antiperspirant aerosol composition), agglomeration is minimised. It has been found that, by adding a quaternary ammonium functional silicones to the formulation, the agglomeration can be mitigated. Any quaternary ammonium functional silicones that is soluble in the propellant may be employed. Advantageously the quaternary ammonium functional silicone in included in the antiperspirant aerosol composition at a level from 0.01% wt to 25% wt, preferably from 0.1% wt to 10% wt and more preferably from 0.5% wt to 2% wt.
Quaternary ammonium functional silicones which may be included in antiperspirant aerosol compositions according to the invention include silicone based quaternary ammonium functional silicones comprising the group: —R1—Z-Q3, where, —R1— is either a divalent hydrocarbon group, which may optionally incorporate ether or ester functionality, or —R2N(Q1)R3—, and is covalently bonded to Si in an unsupported silicone or silane; —Z— is —C(O)O— or —N(Q2)—; -Q3 is —CH(R4)CH(OH)YN+(R5)(R6)(R7)X−, or a monovalent hydrocarbon group that may optionally incorporate hydroxy, diol, amide, ether or ester functionality; —R2— and —R3— are independently divalent hydrocarbon groups that may optionally incorporate ether or ester functionality; -Q1 and -Q2 are independently —CH(R4)CH(OH)YN+(R5)(R6)(R7)X−, incorporate hydroxy, diol, amide, ether or ester functionality; Y is a divalent hydrocarbon group; R4 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group or hydrogen; R5, R6 and R7 are independently monovalent hydrocarbon groups; and X− is a counter ion, with the proviso that at least one of -Q1, -Q2 and -Q3 is —CH(R4)CH(OH)YN+(R5)(R6)(R7)X−.
A preferred quaternary ammonium silicone polymer is supplied within the 5-7113 emulsion by Dow Corning and has the CAS number 495403-02-6.
If quaternary ammonium functional silicones are included in the antiperspirant aerosol compositions according to the invention, then those silicones are non-volatile silicones, as defined herein, and they form part of the silicone component.
The propellant concentration in the antiperspirant aerosol composition may advantageously range from 20% to 90%, preferably from 40% to 85%, more preferably from about 55% to 80% by weight of the antiperspirant aerosol composition.
The propellant comprises one or more volatile materials, which in a gaseous state, carry the other components of the present invention in particulate or droplet form. The aerosol propellants useful in the present invention typically have a boiling point within the range of from about −45° C. to about 5° C. The aerosol propellants are liquefied when packaged in conventional aerosol containers under pressure. The rapid boiling of the aerosol propellant upon leaving the aerosol container aids in the atomization of the other components of the present invention.
Aerosol propellants which may be employed in compositions according to the present invention include the chemically-inert hydrocarbons such as propane, n-butane, isobutane and cyclopropane, and mixtures thereof, as well as halogenaed hydrocarbons such as dichlorodiluoromethane (propellant 12) 1,1-dichloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane (propellant 114), 1-chloro-1,1-difluoro-2,2-trifluoroethane (propellant 115), 1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethylene (propellant 142B), 1,1-difluoroethane (propellant 152A), dimethyl ether and monochlorodifluoromethane, and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the propellant incorporated into the antiperspirant aerosol composition according to the invention comprises hydrocarbons, such as isobutane, propane and butane. These materials are preferred due to their low ozone reactivity. These hydrocarbons may be used as individual components where their vapor pressures at 21.1° C. (70° F.) range from 1.17 to 7.45 Bar (17 psig to 108 psig). The preferred components as individuals or mixtures range in pressure from about 1.17 to 4.83 Bar (17 to about 70 psig) and more preferably from 2.14 to 3.79 Bar (31 and 55 psig).
Compositions according to the invention may additionally comprise perfume, the amount depending on consumer preferences around the time of manufacture. Advantageously, at the present time, compositions according to the invention may comprise from 0.05% wt to 5% wt, preferably from 0.5% wt to 3% wt and more preferably from 1% wt to 2% wt perfume.
According to a second aspect of the invention, packaged antiperspirant aerosol compositions are provided, comprising a spray unit within which is comprised an antiperspirant aerosol composition according to the first aspect of the invention. The spray unit may be any spray unit suitable for containing antiperspirant aerosol compositions according to the invention
The following examples further describe and demonstrate the preferred embodiments within the scope of the present invention. The examples are given solely for the purpose of illustration, and are not to be construed as limitations of the present invention since many variations thereof are possible without departing from its scope.


EXAMPLES
The compositions disclosed in the below examples were all made using the following general method: silicone fluid was added under agitation to an appropriately sized container. Other silicone components (if present) were then added and the mixture was stirred until uniform. At this point, non-silicone based emollient (if present) was added and the mixture was stirred until uniform, under increased temperature (which may vary, due to differing melting points) to ensure uniformity, if appropriate. The active particulates were added to the mixture at this stage under mixing to achieve a uniform consistency. In compositions in comprising materials, such as waxes, which are not soluble in the silicone component, the temperature was maintained at an appropriate level. Lastly, the desired weight of this mixture (which may be referred to as concentrate) was transferred to the finished unit, the desired valve was affixed and propellant was added to the finished unit. A propellant known as A46 was used, which is a mixture of 85% isobutane and 15% propane.
