Antiperspirant compositions and methods for preparing antiperspirant compositions

1. An antiperspirant composition comprising:

a homogenized water phase and oil phase, wherein the water phase comprises an active antiperspirant compound, an alcohol, and water, and wherein the oil phases comprises a structurant, a W/O emulsifier, and a hydrophobic carrier solvent,

wherein the structurant compound comprises a polyethylene having an average molecular weight of about 450 Daltons to about 580 Daltons and a polydispersity index of about 1.05, and wherein the polyethylene has a melting temperature of less than or equal to 82° C.

2. The antiperspirant composition of claim 1 , wherein the active antiperspirant compound comprises aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex, tetrachlorohydrex, trichlorohydrex, or pentachlorohydrex, or aluminum chlorohydrates, optionally including a glycine component.

3. The antiperspirant composition of claim 1 , wherein the active antiperspirant compound is present in the composition in a weight percentage of about 10% to about 20%.

4. The antiperspirant composition of claim 1 , wherein the structurant compound comprises a polyethylene having an average molecular weight of about 485 Daltons and a polyethylene having an average molecular weight of about 571 Daltons.

5. The antiperspirant composition of claim 1 , wherein the structurant compound is present in the composition in a weight percentage of about 5% to about 15%.

6. The antiperspirant composition of claim 1 , wherein the antiperspirant composition exhibits a stick hardness of greater than 130 g's after preparation.

7. The antiperspirant composition of claim 1 , further comprising an additive compound.

8. The antiperspirant composition of claim 7 , wherein the additive compound is a fragrance.
