Patent ID: 8883130

Claim:
A perspiration-inhibiting composition in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion, comprising: a) 10 to 20 wt % external oil phase, comprising: i) at least one symmetrical, asymmetrical, or cyclic ester of carbonic acid with linear or branched C 6 to C 22 alkanols, ii) at least one addition product of 1 to 14 propylene oxide units with mono- or polyvalent C 3-16 alkanols included at a total quantity from 0.8 to 4 wt % based on the entire composition, the addition product being selected from the group consisting of PPG-2 myristyl ether and PPG-3 myristyl ether, and iii) cyclomethicone in a total quantity from 0 to at most 3 wt %; b) 75 to 90 wt % dispersed aqueous phase, comprising: i) 20 to 60 wt % of at least one compound selected from water-soluble polyvalent C 2 to C 9 alkanols having 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups, and water-soluble polyethylene glycols having 3 to 20 ethylene oxide units, and ii) 5 to 40 wt % of at least one perspiration-inhibiting aluminum-zirconium compound; c) at least one silicone-based water-in-oil emulsifier having at least one alkyl substituent having 4 to 20 carbon atoms; d) no silicone-free water-in-oil emulsifier; e) at least one polyethylene glycol ether of a linear or branched C 12 to C 22 alkanol with 20 to 150 ethylene oxide units, the at least one polyethylene glycol ether comprising 1.8 to 2.5 wt. % steareth-100, and f) free and molecularly bound water in a total quantity from 5 to 40 wt %, the perspiration-inhibiting composition being transparent and having a viscosity ranging between 30,000 and 150,000 and a gel consistency, wherein all wt % indications are based on the total weight of the emulsion, and wherein at least 20 wt % of the at least one perspiration-inhibiting aluminum-zirconium compound, based on the total quantity of perspiration-inhibiting aluminum-zirconium compound, is solubilized in at least one compound selected from water-soluble polyvalent C 2 to C 9 alkanols having 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups and from water-soluble polyethylene glycols having 3 to 20 ethylene oxide units.
