Antiperspirant stick compositions made from a solidifying agent which may include a gellant such as n-acyl amino acid amides, 12-hydroxystearic acid, esters of 12-hydroxystearic acid, amides of 12-hydroxystearic acid, and mixtures thereof; or a wax; a liquid base material including a non-volatile, non-polar emollient oil; an antiperspirant active; and a wash-off agent made of selected polyoxyethylene ethers; polyoxyethylene esters and diesters; and polyoxyethylene glyceryl esters and diesters. Such antiperspirant stick compositions exhibit improved wash-off performance, particularly with regard to the solidifying agent and the non-polar, non-volatile oils. These compositions are easily prepared by conventional techniques. |
