Abstract
Antiperspirant/deodorant stick compositions comprising: (a) a high melting point wax, (b) an emollient, and (c) a particulate antiperspirant active, are described.
Description
ANTIPERSPIRANT COMPOSITION WITH A HIGH MELTING POINT WAX
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A problem with antiperspirant/deodorant stick products is obtaining increased thermal stability without giving up the esthetics including "glide", payoff, color and odour. The present invention solves this problem.
As further background to this invention, it may be noted that many solid antiperspirants have been described in the chemical and cosmetic literature. These compositions generally tend to fall into one of two classes: emulsion sticks and suspensoid sticks. Emulsion sticks contain a solution of the antiperspirant active incorporated in the stick via an emulsion. Although emulsion sticks may be desirable in certain respects, they tend to be unstable, have poor aesthetics and leave a visible or sticky residue on the skin after use. Suspensoid sticks contain the powdered antiperspirant active suspended in the stick without the use of water or an emulsion. The present invention provides an excellent antiperspirant or deodorant composition which has increased thermal stability and the increased esthetic properties as mentioned above. The compositions of the invention are anhydrous antiperspirant/deodorant compositions which are suspensoids which can be in the form of sticks, ultradrys, soft solids or creams .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As used herein % means weight % unless otherwise indicated.
The invention relates to antiperspirant/deodorant stick compositions which comprise:
(a) about 0.1 to about 10% of a high melting point wax;
(b) about 5 to about 40% of a non-volatile, non-toxic organic or silicone-based emollient, or mixtures thereof; and
(c) about 15 to about 50% of a particulate antiperspirant active.
The invention also relates to a method of controlling body odour and perspiration by contacting human skin with a composition of the invention.
High Melting Point Wax
The high melting point wax is a structurant which provides thermal stability to the stick compositions of the invention without reducing the esthetics mentioned above. In addition the wax allows for the use of less fatty alcohols in the compositions of the invention than are used in conventional stick products.
The high melting point wax is present in compositions at from about 0.1 to about 10 wt . % . The melting point of the wax can range from about 150-215°F, or about 65 to about
101UC.
The high melting point wax may be present in compositions at from about 0.05 to about 10 wt . % . The high melting point wax may be any wax which melts from about 65 to about 104°C, or from about 65 to about 101°C, as noted above.
The high melting point wax is selected from the group consisting of beeswax, spermaceti, carnauba wax, bayberry, candedilla, montan wax, ozokerite, ceresin, paraffin and synthetic wax.
A very high melting point (melting point is greater than about 80°C such as about 80 to about 104°C) wax is especially preferred in compositions of the invention. Microcrystalline wax (CTFA trade name) which is a very high melting point wax (melting point is about 80 to 104 °C) is preferred. The microcrystalline wax named MULTIWAX 180M from WITCO is used in compositions below. Trihydroxystearin is also a preferred very high melting point wax. The very high melting point wax can be present in compositions of the invention at from about 0.1 to about 10 w . % .
Certain compositions of the invention also contain a low melting point wax which is described just below.
Low Melting Point Wax
Low melting point waxes have a melting point range of about 25 degrees C to about 65 degrees C, more preferably about 37 degrees C to about 65 degrees C.
Non- limiting examples of low melting point waxes which can be included in the compositions of the invention are castor wax, stearyl alcohol and most preferably SF 1642. SF 1642 is C30-C45 alkyl dimethicone and is available from General Electric, Connecticut.
SF 1642 is in between a low melting point wax and a high melting point wax:
wherein each R is individually an alkyl of C30 or greater and
wherein n is about 25.
It has a melting point about 60 to about 72 degrees C.
SF 1632 which is cetearyl methicone is available from General Electric and can also be used in compositions of the invention and it has the chemical structure:
wherein x + y is about 1 to about 100, preferably about 4 ;
R1 is C16-C18 linear alkyl; and
R2 is C16-C18 branched alkyl.
It has a melting point about 25 to about 35 degrees C.
In the compositions of the invention, the low melting point wax serves to modify rheology for easier glide-on and the high melting point wax serves to give to the resulting composition improved thermal stability ( up tol22.5°F, and higher) ; and serves to give the resulting composition improved structurant properties.
Emollient
The emollient is present from about 5 to about 40% in compositions of the invention. It is a non-volatile, non- toxic organic or silicone based emollient. The emollient
can be a mixture of organic and silicone based emollients. PPG- 14 butyl ether is preferred.
Other emollients suitable for use in the compositions of the present invention are known in the art and include a nonvolatile silicone oil, a high molecular weight polyol, an oil -surfactant , an aromatic ester, an aliphatic ester, and similar organic compound.
Antiperspirant Active
The antiperspirant active in the compositions of the invention is present at from about 15 to about 50% and is a particulate material selected from the group consisting of aluminum zirconium complexes, aluminum chlorohydrates, aluminum chlorohydroxide and mixtures thereof . Aluminum zirconium trichloro hydrex-Gly is preferred.
As noted above, the present compositions contain from about 15% to about 50% by weight of a particulate antiperspirant material . These weight percentages are calculated on an anhydrous metal salt basis (exclusive of glycine, the salts of glycine, or other complexing agents) . The particulate antiperspirant material preferably has particle sizes ranging from about 1 to about 100 microns, more preferably from about 1 to about 50 microns. They may be in impalpable or microscopic in form and preferably have a high bulk density (e.g. greater than about 0.7 g/cm3) . Such materials include, for example, many aluminum or zirconium astringent salts or complexes and are well known in the art.
Any aluminum astringent antiperspirant salt or aluminum and /or zirconium astringent complex in particulate form can be employed herein. Salts useful as astringent antiperspirant salts or as components of astringent complexes include aluminum halides, aluminum hydroxyhalides, zirconyl oxy halides, zirconyl hydroxyhalides and mixtures of these salt materials .
Aluminum salts of this type include aluminum chloride and the aluminum hydroxy halides having the general formula
Al2 (OH) xQyXH20 where Q is chlorine, bromine, or iodine; x is from about 2 to about 5, and x+y is about 6 and x and y do not need to be integers and where X is from about 1 to about 6. Aluminum salts of this type can be prepared in the manner described more fully in USP 3,887,692 to Gilman, USP 3,904,741 Jones and Rubino, both of which are herein incorporated by reference.
The zirconium salts which are useful in the present invention include both zirconium oxy salts and zirconium hydroxyl salts, also referred to as zirconyl hydroxy salts. These compounds may be represented by the following general empirical formula :
ZrO (OH) 2-nzBz
wherein z may vary from about 0.9 to about 2 and need not be an integer, n is the valence of B, 2-nz is greater than or equal to 0, and B may be selected from the group consisting of halides, nitrate, sulfamate, sulfate, and mixtures thereof. Although only zirconium and aluminum compounds are
exemplified in the specification, it will be understood that other metals such as the Group IV B metals, including hafnium could be used in the present invention.
As with the basic aluminum compounds, it will be understood that the above formula is greatly simplified and is intended to represent and include compounds having coordinated and/or bound water in various quantities as well as polymers, mixtures and complexes of the above. As will be seen from the above formula the zirconium hydroxy salts actually represent a range of compounds having various amounts of the hydroxy group, varying from about 1.1 to only slightly greater than 0 groups per molecule.
Several types of antiperspirant complexes using the above antiperspirant salts are known in the art. For example, 3,792,068 Luedders et al . , herein incorporated by reference, discloses complexes of aluminum, zirconium and amino acids such as glycines. Complexes such as those disclosed in Luedders and other similar complexes are commonly known as
ZAG ( OR Zag) . ZAG complexes are chemically analyzable for the presence of aluminum, activated ZAG compounds and chlorine. ZAG complexes useful herein are identified by the specification of both the molar ratio of aluminum to zirconium (the Al : Zr ratio) and the molar ratio of total metal to chlorine (metal :C1) ZAG complexes useful herein have an Al : Zr ratio of from about 1.67 to about 12.5 and a metal :C1 ratio of about 0.73 to about 1.93.
Another patent which discloses ZAG compounds is USP
4,985,238 to Tanner et al . This just-mentioned patent is
herein incorporated by reference . Preferred ZAG complexes are described in USP 4,985,238 to Tanner et al .
