Antiperspirant dispersions in the form of a cream suitable for employment in a sachet, optionally fitted with a nozzle, and having improved stability at elevated temperatures to assist manufacturing, filling, transportation and storage of the resultant filled packs in tropical climates comprise an aqueous phase in an amount of from 82 to 91.5% by weight, containing a soluble astringent antiperspirant a water-immiscible phase in an amount of from 5 to 14.5% by weight, containing at least 0.5% by weight of an oil and at least 3% by weight of a wax and at least 3.5% by weight of a mixture of non-ionic emulsifiers comprising at least 1.5% by weight of a low HLB emulsifier having an HLB value of below 7 and at least 1.5% by weight of a complementary emulsifier having an HLB value such that the weight average HLB value of said mixture is at least 10. In a big nose pack, preferably made from laminate material, the sachet sidewalls are advantageously heat welded to a tubular nozzle which is closed with a screw cap. |
