This invention relates to a method of enhancing the adhesion of a silicone containing adhesive formulation. The method comprises mixing 1 to 99.9 wt. % of a silicone-containing adhesive formulation and 0.1 to 50 wt. % antiperspirant compound to form a composition. The composition is then applied onto a surface and allowed to cure. The invention also relates to a composition comprising 1 to 99.9 wt. % of a silicone-containing adhesive formulation and 0.1 to 50 wt. % antiperspirant salt. The resultant adhesive films are especially useful in healthcare and cosmetic applications where they inhibit perspiration and, thus, retain the adhesive strength of the adhesive.

Spray compositions and particularly anhydrous aerosol compositions containing particulate antiperspirant actives exhibit a tendency for nozzle blockage, impeding discharge of the contents when a polyol humectant, such as glycerol, is blended into its base composition. The problem is overcome or at least ameliorated by preparation of a base composition, suitable for employment in conjunction with a propellant, that contains a low molecular weight (liquid) polyethylene glycol (PEG) as humectant, and particularly a PEG of molecular weight 150 to 500.

Aluminum and aluminum-zirconium antiperspirant compositions of enhanced efficacy and a pH value of at least 3.5 are provided that are made by reaction with insoluble, strongly alkaline strontium or calcium salts. The aluminum and aluminum-zirconium strontium or calcium compositions show high pH values with characteristic HPLC Band III to Band II ratios of at least 0.5. The basic aluminum halohydrate (or nitrate) solutions typically have aluminum to anion ratio of less that 1.9. The solution compositions are stable with respect to both HPLC Band III to Band II ratio and viscosity at concentrations of about 20% to about 40% by weight of anhydrous solid. The solid state compositions form hard sticks with low irritation, at low metal to chloride ratios of about 0.9 to about 1.2.

The compositions include a non-liquid organic ester emollient with a melting point between about 25° C. and about 60° C. (preferably isostearyl behenate); and an inert polymeric material (preferably a low molecular weight polyethylene; in addition to (a) a volatile (for example, cyclomethicone), (b) a non-volatile liquid emollient; (c) a gelling agent (for example, stearyl alcohol and hydrogenated castor oil); (d) at least one active antiperspirant material (for example, particulate antiperspirant aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex salts); and (e) optionally other antiperspirant stick compatible materials.

Hair removal, especially from armpits damages skin, for example by irritating it, and this can be exacerbated by the application of antiperspirants to control body odour generation. In the present invention, the deleterious effects of hair removal, eg shaving, and antiperspirancy can be ameliorated by employing antiperspirant compositions containing a natural oil and glycerol to a combined concentration of from 1.5 to 15% by weight and in a weight ratio of from 4:1 to 1:4.

An aerosol antiperspirant composition is provided. The aerosol antiperspirant composition includes a propellant having a concentration from 30% to 65% by weight and an antiperspirant composition. The antiperspirant composition includes one or more liquid materials, wherein the one or more liquid materials comprise one or more non-volatile silicone fluids having a concentration from 40% to about 70% by weight; antiperspirant active particulates; one or more non-antiperspirant active particulates that are substantially inert; and wherein the antiperspirant composition has a total particulate concentration from 30% to about 60% by weight and the antiperspirant composition has a viscosity greater than 1,000 centipoise.

A cosmetic or dermatological composition for preventing excessive odor and sweat secretion by skin, comprising an optically translucent to transparent, substantially alcohol-free oil-in-water type emulsion gel which comprises a polyethoxylated and/or a polypropoxylated O/W emulsifier, a polyol and a antiperspirant. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

A new method for inhibiting or reducing perspiration and preventing body unpleasant odors is provided. Alternative antiperspirant actives capable of activating TRPM8 channels are topically applied, leading to inhibition or reduction of sweat production. Preferred agent is a TRPM8 agonist, derived or not from essential oils of plants.

Incorporation of a polyol humectant in an anhydrous composition containing an astringent aluminium and/or zirconium antiperspirant salt can result in grit formation and hence poor sensory properties unless the polyol is prior contacted with a perfume carrier. A simpler manufacturing process that enables the composition to retain its moisturising properties employs 20 to 90% of a carrier oil plus up to 10% of a liquid, low molecular weight polyethylene glycol as humectant, preferably having an average molecular weight of from 190 to 600, not prior complexed with the antiperspirant salt.
