A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230310289A1) describes a personal care composition that includes various ingredients for effective and safe use. The composition consists of a plant-based gelling agent, one or more structuring agents, a glyceryl-based emulsifier, a metal-containing antiperspirant agent, and a source of emollients.
The personal care composition includes a plant-based gelling agent, which can be selected from waxes, esters of fatty acid and fatty alcohol, triglycerides, or other solid or semi-solid materials suitable for skin application. In one embodiment, palm kernel oil is used as the plant-based gelling agent.
The composition also contains one or more structuring agents, such as Steareth-21, Steareth-10, or Cetearyl alcohol. The structuring agent is present in an amount ranging from 18% to 23% by weight of the total composition.
A glyceryl-based emulsifier, such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl monolaurate, is included in the composition. The emulsifier is present in an amount ranging from 5% to 20% by weight of the total composition.
The metal-containing antiperspirant agent in the composition can contain aluminum, magnesium, strontium, zirconium, zinc, or a combination thereof. One example of the antiperspirant agent is aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex glycine (ZAG), which is present in an amount of 1% to 30% by weight of the composition.
The composition also includes a source of emollients, such as C12-C15 alkyl benzoate, mineral oil, caprylyl glycol, dimethicone, dicaprylyl ether, or ethyl trisiloxane.
The personal care composition can be used in various forms, including antiperspirants, deodorants, body washes, shower gels, bar soaps, shampoo, hair conditioners, and cosmetics.
Additionally, the patent describes a method of reducing or diminishing yellowing on fabric by applying the personal care composition to the skin. The use of the composition reduces or diminishes yellowing on fabric compared to antiperspirants containing cyclomethicone. The antiperspirant with cyclomethicone does not include a glyceryl-based emulsifier.
In summary, the patent describes a personal care composition that includes plant-based gelling agents, structuring agents, glyceryl-based emulsifiers, metal-containing antiperspirant agents, and emollients. The composition can be used in various personal care products and has the potential to reduce yellowing on fabric when applied to the skin.
