Deodorizing preparations
View Patent ↗A deodorizing composition containing: (a) from about 10 to 30% by weight of a dialkyl carbonate corresponding to formula I: wherein R 1 is a linear alkyl and/or alkenyl group containing from about 6 to 22 carbon atoms, a 2-ethylhexyl, an isotridecyl, an isostearyl group or a group derived from a polyol containing 2 to 15 carbon atoms and at least two hydroxyl groups; R 2 has the same meaning as R 1 or is an alkyl group containing from about 1 to 5 carbon atoms; and n and m, independently of one another, represent a number up to 100, and (b) an antiperspirant.
1. A process for inhibiting skin from emanating an unpleasant odor, comprising contacting the skin with a suspension stick or soft solid deodorizing composition consisting essentially of:
(a) from 30 to 65% by weight, based on a solids content of the composition, of di-n-octyl carbonate;
(b) from 1% to 50% by weight, based on a solids content, of an antiperspirant;
(c) from 0.01% to 20% by weight, based on a solids content, of an esterase inhibitor;
(d) from 0.01% to 5% by weight, based on a solids content, of a bactericidal agent and/or bacteriostatic agent; and
(e) from 0.1% to 30% by weight, based on a solids content, of a perspiration absorber.
2. A suspension stick or soft solid deodorizing composition consisting essentially of:
(a) from 30 to 65% by weight of di-n-octyl carbonate,
(b) from about 0.01% to about 5% by weight of at least one bactericidal and/or bacteriostatic agent,
(c) from about 1% to about 50% by weight of one or more antiperspirants,
(d) from about 0.1% to about 30% by weight of one or more perspiration absorbers,
(e) from about 0.01% to about 20% by weight of esterase inhibitors, and
(f) remainder, to 100% by weight, of water, auxiliaries and/or additives, said weight percentages being based on the total weight of solids in the composition.
3. A method of deodorizing comprising applying a deodorizing composition according to claim 2 .
4. The composition of claim 1 wherein said antiperspirant comprises a member selected from the group consisting of salts of aluminum, zirconium, zinc, and mixtures thereof.
5. The process of claim 1 wherein the antiperspirant comprises a member selected from the group consisting of salts of aluminum, zirconium, zinc, and mixtures thereof.
