| abstract |
A water soluble cosmetic or pharmaceutical or pharmaceutical actives in an electrolyte solution which, when impregnated with one or more retentive fillers (such as, for example, silica or hydrophobically modified silica, lamellar filler, crosspolymer, cellulosic, resins, or silicone elastomers) can form stable solid compositions with structurants. Such solid compositions do not require a higher buffer pH or leave residues upon application to the skin. Solid compositions according to the present invention are suitable for cosmetic and pharmaceutical purposes such as antiperspirants, deodorants, lip products, and other topical applications. |
