| abstract |
An aqueous alcohol carrier solvent based antiperspirant composition which does not contain silicone products and which forms a thick lotion for use on the hands and feet. The composition includes a thickener-absorber mixture of hydroxylalkylcellulose, preferably hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, with colloidal silica and silicates and an antiperspirant active material, preferably chlorhydrol. A preferred embodiment includes the addition of Tea Tree Oil to the formulation. The antiperspirant composition reduces sweating on the hands and feet and is nonirritating, nontacky and mildly soothing to the skin. |
