Claim:
A composition comprising a water-in-oil emulsion having an external oil phase and internal water phase wherein: (I) the oil phase comprises: (a) 7.0–23.3 weight % of one or more cyclomethicones having a flash point of 100 degrees C. or less; (b) 0.6–0.9 weight % of a silicone surfactant having a hydrophilic lipophilic balance ≦8; and (c) 0.1–3.0 weight % of a non-siliconized organic fragrance solubilizer; and (II) the aqueous phase comprises: (a) 14–30 weight % on an anhydrous basis of a glycine containing antiperspirant active salt comprising either aluminum or aluminum and zirconium metals provided that (i) if an aluminum and zirconium salt is used then the metal/Cl ratio of the salt is in the range of 0.9–1.3:1, the glycine/Zr ratio is >1.2, and Peak-5/Peak-3 is >1.0; and (ii) if an aluminum salt is used then the aluminum to chloride molar ratio is in the range of 0.5–2.5:1, and the glycine/Al molar ratio is in the range of 0.05–0.26:1; wherein the glycine containing antiperspirant active salt has a pH in the range of 2–4 when measured in water at a concentration of 15%, is free of any other halide scavenging material, and has a value of at least 0.50 for a ratio calculated as: area ⁢ ⁢ of ⁢ ⁢ Peak ⁢ ⁢ 5 total ⁢ ⁢ area ⁢ ⁢ under ⁢ ⁢ Peak ⁢ ⁢ 2 + Peak ⁢ ⁢ 3 + Peak ⁢ ⁢ 4 + Peak ⁢ ⁢ 5 ; (b) 30–70 weight % water; (c) 0.3–10 weight % of a water soluble glycol system which comprises at least 0.2% propylene glycol and an additional glycol component, in which the amount of propylene glycol does not exceed 7.5%; and (d) 0.2–4 weight % of a monovalent or divalent ionizable, water soluble inorganic or organic salt of formula M a X b where a=1, or 2 and b=1 or 2; M is a member selected from the group consisting of Na +1 , Li +1 , K +1 , Mg +2 , Ca +2 , Sr +2 and Zn +2 and X is a member selected from the group consisting of chloride, bromide, iodide, citrate, gluconate, lactate, glycinate, glutamate, ascorbate, aspartate, nitrate, phosphate, hydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, formate, maloneate, maleate, succinate, carbonate, bicarbonate, sulfate, hydrogensulfate; wherein the composition is a clear emulsion; wherein the composition has a ratio of oil phase to water phase in the range of 10:90 to 24:76; wherein the composition has a viscosity fo greater than 150,000; and wherein the composition is free of elastomers, borate crosslinkers soap gelling agents, and seccondary water-soluble surfactants having an HLB value ≧9.
