This invention provides cosmetic stick, roll-on and cream deodorant and deodorant-antiperspirant products. The cosmetic products consisting of an organic matrix having a dispersed phase of encapsulated particles of a co-micronized crystallite blend of inorganic compounds such as sodium bicarbonate and zinc oxide. The particle surfaces are coated with a polymer such as maltodextrin starch. When this type of cosmetic product is applied to underarm surfaces, a sustained deodorant activity by the encapsulated particles is obtained. |
