No. 163,903, filed Jun. 30, 1980, now abandoned, which is a continuation-in-part of our co- pending application Ser.

The compositions comprise an_antiperspirant ‘material, a bulking/suspending agent, a volatile silicone and 8 non-volatile emollient, BACKGROUND ART ‘The use of volatile silicones and non-volatile emol- lients in a variety of compositions has been suggested, References disclosing such compositions include U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,836,647, Sep. 17, 1974 to Lange; 3,903,258, Sep. 2, 1975 to Siegal, 4,053,581, Oct. 11, 1977 to Pader tet al; 4,054,670, Oct. 18, 1977 to Bubler; 4,065,564, Dec. 21, 1977 to Miles, Jr. et ak; 4,073,880, Feb. 14, 1978 to Pader et al; 4,083,956, Apr. 1, 1978 to Shelton; and 4,122,029, Oct. 24, 1978 to Gee et al. Although the above-listed references describe a vari- ety of compositions, they do not describe or suggest ‘compositions similar to those of the present invention. Furthermore, the references do not suggest the surpris- ing improvement in antiperspirant efficacy found with 3 the present invention. “Accordingly, itis an object of the present invention to provide antiperspirant compositions having en- hanced antiperspirant efficacy tis @ further object of the present invention to pro- vide antiperspirant compositions which are suitable for ‘use in a number of dispensing devices DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION ‘The present invention relates to antiperspirant com positions comprising particulate antiperspirant mate Tial, a bulking/suspending agent, a volatile silicone and ‘a non-volatile emollient. The compositions are in the form of suspensions and are preferably anhydrous (con- taining less than about 1.5% water). ‘The particulate antiperspirant material comprises from about 10% to 70%, preferably from about 15% 10 60%, by weight of the composition. ‘The bulking/suspending agent comprises from about 19% to 15%, preferably from about 2% 10 8%, by ‘weight of the composition. “The volatile silicone comprises from about 10% to 80%, preferably from about 15% to 70%, by weight of the composition. ‘The non-volatile emollient comprises from about 19% 10 35%, preferably from about 5% to 30%, by weight of the composition. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE, INVENTION ‘The necessary 2s well as optional components of the ‘present compositions are described in detail below. 20 2 45 o 6 2 ANTIPERSPIRANT MATERIAL ‘The present compositions contain from about 10% to 10%, preferably 15% to 60%, by weight of a particul- tate antiperspirant material. Such materials include for example, many aluminum or zirconium astringent salts for complexes and are well known in the antiperspirant art. ‘Any aluminum astringent antiperspirant salt or alumi- num and/or zirconium astringent complex in particulate form can be employed herein. Salts useful as astringent antiperspirant salts or as components of astringent com- plexes include sluminum halides, aluminum hydroxyha- lides, zirconyl oxyhalides, zirconyl hydroxyhalides and ‘mixtures of these salt materials. “Aluminum salts of this type include aluminum chlo- ride and the aluminum hydroxyhalides having the gen- eral formula Alz (OH),QyXH20 where Q is chlorine, bromine or iodine; where x is 2 to $ and x+y=6 and x and y do not need to be integers, and where X is about 1 to 6. Aluminum salts of this type can be prepared in the manner described more fully in Gilman, U.S. Pat. No. 3,887,692, issued Jun. 3, 1975, and U.S. Pat. No. 3,904,741, Sep. 9, 1975 to Jones and Rubino incorpo- rated herein by reference ‘The zirconium compounds which are useful in the present invention include both the zirconium oxy salts and zirconium hydroxy salts, also referred to as the irconyl salts and zirconyl hydroxy salts. These com- pounds may be represented by the following general ‘empirical formula: ZrO10H) Be wherein z may vary from about 0.9 to 2 and need not be an integer, n is the valence of B, 2-nz is greater than or ‘equal t0 0, and B may be selected form the group con- sisting of halides, nitrate, sulfamate, sulfate and mixtures thereof. Although only zirconium compounds are ex- emplified in this specification, it will be understood that other Group IV B metal, 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 O groups per molecule. Several types of antiperspirant complexes utilizing the above antiperspirant salts are known in the art. For example Luedders et al; U.S. Pat. No. 3,792,068, issued Feb, 12, 1974 discloses complexes of aluminum, zirco- nium and amino acids such as glycine. Complexes such as those disclosed in this Luedders et al °068 patent and other similar complexes are commonly known as ZAG. ZAG complexes are chemically analyzable for the pres- ence of aluminum, zirconium and chlorine. ZAG com= plexes useful herein are identified by the specification of both the molar ratio of aluminum to zirconium (herein- after “ALZr” ratio) and the molar ratio of total metal to chlorine (hereinafter “Metal:Cl" ratio). ZAG com- plexes useful herein have an Al:Zr ratio of from about 167 to 12.5 and a Metall ratio of from about 0.73 to 193. 5,156,834 3 Preferred ZAG complexes are formed by (A) Co-dissolving in water (i) one part Al; (OH)snQm, Wherein Q is an anion selected from the group consisting of chloride, bromide and iodide and m is a number from s about 0.8 to about 2.0; @) x paris ZrO(OH)2
