Patent ID: 7011822

Claim:
A low residue antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition comprising: (a) 40–75% of a volatile silicone; (b) 5–15% of an emollient; (c) 1–10% on a solids basis of a cyclomethicone (and) dimethicone crosspolymer made with an ≡Si—H containing polysiloxane and an alpha, omega-diene of formula CH 2 ═CH(CH 2 ) x CH═CH 2 , 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 and a nonvolatiles content of 10–14% in cyclomethicone; (d) 0.1–20% of an antiperspirant active based on an anhydrous, buffer-free basis; and (e) 2–10% of polyethylene beads having a particle size in the range of 5–40 microns and a density in the range of 0.91–0.98 g/cm 3 ; wherein the composition is an anhydrous, surfactant-free and antiseptic alcohol-free soft solid form exhibiting a syneresis of less than 8% .
