Solid, clear suspension antiperspirant compositions comprising 0.5 to 50% by weight of a particulate antiperspirant active material of which less than 50% by weight of its particles are below a 10mm diameter and a refractive index from 1.49 to 1.57 at 22¦C, it is suspended in a water immiscible carrier liquid of which at least 50% by weight is selected from liquid non-volatile silicone oils and liquid alkyl aryl esters and not more than 25% by weight of the carrier liquid, it comprises volatile silicone oil The carrier liquid and the antiperspirant have refractive indices, which differ by no more than 0.02 to 2¦C and the structurant which solidifies the carrier liquid comprises a non-polymeric fiber-forming structurant, and preferably an N-acyl amide amino acid, such as, GP1 and / or a cyclodipeptide, such as a thymol derivative of acid (2S-cis) - (-) - 5-benzyl-3,6-dioxo-2-piperazin acetic acid. |
