Atomizing spray for grip enhancement
Provided by the invention are systems for applying antiperspirant grip enhancement compositions to a selected skin treatment area. Application of the antiperspirant grip enhancement composition is accomplished by forming the composition into a mist or spray using an atomizing spray dispenser.

providing a grip enhancement system comprising an atomizing spray dispenser and an antiperspirant grip composition; wherein the dispenser comprises a container and an atomizing spray delivery mechanism affixed to the container; and wherein the composition is positioned in the container;
selecting a skin treatment area normally used for gripping; and
passing the composition through the mechanism to atomize the composition and to propel the atomized composition toward the skin treatment area;
wherein the composition comprises at least 1 percent by weight of a solid material selected from the group consisting of particulate calcium carbonate, particulate magnesium carbonate and mixtures thereof, and at least 20 percent by weight of a fluid based material selected from the group consisting of monohydric alcohols, polyhydric alcohols, unsaturated aliphatic alcohols, and mixtures thereof.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the solid material comprises particulate calcium carbonate.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the particulate calcium carbonate has an average particle size of from about 0.01 microns to about 500 microns.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the particulate calcium carbonate has an average particle size of from about 0.01 microns to about 10 microns.
6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the particulate calcium carbonate has an average particle size of from about 0.01 microns to about 1 micron.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fluid base material is selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, butanol, pentanol, and cetyl alcohol.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises one or more members selected from the group consisting of hydrophilic fumed silica, hydrophobic fumed silica, fumed alumina, colloidal silica, and composite silica.
9. A method for enhancing grip, comprising:
providing a grip enhancement system comprising an atomizing spray dispenser and an antiperspirant grip composition; wherein the dispenser comprises a container and an atomizing spray delivery mechanism affixed to the container; and wherein the composition is positioned in the container;
selecting a skin treatment area normally used for gripping; and
passing the composition through the mechanism to atomize the composition and to propel the atomized composition toward the skin treatment area;
wherein the composition comprises at least 1 percent by weight particulate calcium carbonate, from 0 percent to about 40 percent by weight fumed silica and at least 20 percent by weight of a fluid based material selected from the group consisting of monohydric alcohols, polyhydric alcohols, unsaturated aliphatic alcohols, and mixtures thereof.
10. A method for enhancing grip, comprising:
providing a grip enhancement system comprising an atomizing spray dispenser and an antiperspirant grip composition; wherein the dispenser comprises a container and an atomizing spray delivery mechanism affixed to the container; and wherein the composition is positioned in the container;
selecting a skin treatment area normally used for gripping; and
passing the composition through the mechanism to atomize the composition and to propel the atomized composition toward the skin treatment area;
wherein the composition comprises at least 20 percent by weight particulate calcium carbonate, from about 1 percent to about 10 percent by weight fumed silica and at least 20 percent by weight of a fluid based material selected from the group consisting of monohydric alcohols, polyhydric alcohols, unsaturated aliphatic alcohols, and mixtures thereof.
11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a member selected from the group consisting of talc, clay, kaolin, silica, diatomaceous earth, barium carbonate, magnesium sulfate, barium sulfate, calcium sulfate, aluminum hydroxide, zinc oxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, titanium oxide, alumina, mica, glass powder, zeolite, silica clay, wood powder, pulp powder, cellulose powder, polytetrafluoroethylene powder, and aromatic polyamide powder.
12. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the fluid base material comprises ethanol.
13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a member selected from the group consisting of fragrances, dyes, medicinal additives, preservatives and mixtures thereof.
14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the solid material comprises particulate magnesium carbonate.
15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the particulate magnesium carbonate has an average particle size of from about 0.01 microns to about 500 microns.
16. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the particulate magnesium carbonate has an average particle size of from about 0.01 microns to about 100 microns.
17. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the particulate magnesium carbonate has an average particle size of from about 0.01 microns to about 10 microns.
18. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the particulate magnesium carbonate has an average particle size of from about 0.01 microns to about 1 micron.
19. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a member selected from the group consisting of fragrances, dyes, antibacterial agents, antifungal agents and mixtures thereof.
