Claims
- 1. An antiperspirant stick composition comprising a matrix and an antiperspirant quantity of active antiperspirant material distributed therein; said stick composition containing a mixture of polyoxyethylene(25)propylene glycol stearate of formula: ##STR5## and a polyoxypropylene, polyoxyethylene ether of a long chain fatty alcohol of formula: ##STR6## wherein: R is a long chain fatty alcohol moiety;
- x has an average value of from 3 to 10; and
- y has an average value of from 2 to 50
- said mixture being present in sufficient quantity to reduce the staining potential of said composition; wherein said polyoxyethylene(25)propylene glycol stearate is present in the range of from about 1% to about 15% by weight and said polyoxypropylene, polyoxyethylene ether of said fatty alcohol is present in the range of from about 2% to about 40% by weight; said percentages being based on the total weight of the stick composition.
- 2. A composition according to claim 1 also comprising an emollient system containing an effective amount of an emollient selected from the group consisting of a volatile silicone oil, dibutylphthalate, petroleum distillate, 2-ethyl-hexyl pelargonate, and mixtures thereof.
- 3. A composition according to claim 2 in which said emollient system comprises from about 30% to about 60% by weight based on the total weight of the stick composition.
- 4. A composition according to claim 1 in which said polyoxyethylene(25)propylene glycol stearate is present in the range of from about 1% to about 5% by weight and said polyoxypropylene, polyoxyethylene ether of said fatty alcohol is present in the range of from about 5% to about 20% by weight; said percentages being based on the total weight of the stick composition.
- 5. A composition according to claim 1 in which said antiperspirant active material is present in the range of from about 10% to about 50% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.
- 6. A composition according to claim 5 in which said antiperspirant active material is present in the range of from about 15% to about 25% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.
- 7. A composition according to claim 1 in which said polyoxypropylene, polyoxyethylene ether of said long chain fatty alcohol is PPG-5 Ceteth-20.
- 8. An antiperspirant stick composition comprising a matrix and from about 15% to about 25% by weight of an active antiperspirant material distributed therein; said stick composition also containing from about 1% to about 5% by weight of polyoxyethylene(25)propylene glycol stearate of formula: ##STR7## from about 5% to about 20% by weight of PPG-5 Ceteth-20 and from about 30% to about 60% by weight of an emollient system containing dibutylphthalate,
- said combination of polyoxyethylene(25)propylene glycol stearate and said PPG-5 Ceteth-20 being present in sufficient quantity to significantly reduce the staining potential of said stick composition and said percentages being based on the total weight of said stick composition.
