Title: Novel antiperspirant/deodorant active for no white residue sticks and soft solids
Inventor: AMIN PRADIP T
IPC: A61K8/891
Filed: 2003-10-20
Abstract: Antiperspirant actives that produce practically no visible white residue, even against a black background is provided by the reduction of the particle size, using a refractive index modifier, to a point where the antiperspirant active on application provides no discernible whiteness. When formulated into an antiperspirant stick, the antiperspirant actives produce an improved combination of functional properties, including excellent antiperspirancy, smooth skin feel, nontacky, quick drying and leave no visible residue. The exceptionally high surface area of the antiperspirant active results in rapid and efficient delivery of the active to the sweat glands and possible absorption. The absence or reduced quantity of suspending and flow enhancing agents, of gellant and surfactant, is believed to improve the antiperspirant active's ability to physically reach the sweat glands and improve efficacy.
