Abstract

Personal care compositions containing active ingredients and an anti-irritant combination of aloe and taurine are disclosed. Methods of preparing the personal care composition and uses of the personal care composition are also disclosed.

Claims (17)

1. A personal care composition comprising about 2 to 40 weight percent of an active ingredient, wherein the active ingredient is a metal-containing antiperspirant active ingredient, in combination with aloe extract and taurine, wherein a total amount of aloe extract is 0.01 to 5 weight percent, and a total amount of taurine is 0.01 to 5 weight percent, in an acceptable carrier, all based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the aloe extract and taurine are present in a synergistic combination to reduce cytotoxicity and irritation/inflammation effects of the metal-containing antiperspirant active ingredient.

2. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the metal-containing antiperspirant active ingredient contains aluminum, zirconium, zinc or a combination thereof.

3. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the metal-containing antiperspirant active ingredient is selected from aluminum-containing and/or zirconium-containing salts or metal complexes.

4. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the metal-containing antiperspirant active ingredient is selected from aluminum halides, aluminum hydroxyhalides, zirconyl oxyhalides, zirconyl hydroxyhalides and combinations thereof.

5. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the metal-containing antiperspirant active ingredient is selected from aluminum bromohydrate, aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum dichlorohydrate, aluminum sesquichlorohydrate, aluminum chlorohydrex propylene glycol complex, aluminum dichlorohydrex propylene glycol complex, aluminum sesquichlorohydrex propylene glycol complex, aluminum chlorohydrex polyethylene glycol complex, aluminum dichlorohydrex polyethylene glycol complex, aluminum sesquichlorohydrex polyethylene glycol complex, aluminum zirconium chlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium pentachlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex propylene glycol complex, aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrex glycine complex, aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex glycine complex, aluminum zirconium pentachlorohydrex glycine complex, aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex glycine complex, aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, buffered aluminum sulfate, potassium alum, sodium aluminum chlorohydroxy lactate and combinations thereof.

6. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein a total amount of the metal-containing antiperspirant active ingredient present in the composition is 5 to 40 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition.

7. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein a total amount of the metal-containing antiperspirant active ingredient present in the composition is 10 to 30% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.

8. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein a total amount of taurine is 0.05 to 5 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition.

9. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein a total amount of aloe extract is 0.05 to 5 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition.

10. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein a total amount of aloe extract is 0.05% to about 1% by weight of the composition, and a total amount of taurine is 0.05% to about 1 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition.

11. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein a total amount of aloe extract is 0.05 to about 0.5 wt. %, and a total amount of taurine is 0.05 to about 0.5 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition.

12. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the acceptable carrier comprises one or more ingredients selected from water-soluble alcohols; glycols; glycerides; medium to long chain organic acids, alcohols and esters; surfactants; additional amino acids; structurants; emollients; fragrances; and colorants.

13. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is an antiperspirant and/or a deodorant.

14. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the acceptable carrier is anhydrous.

15. The personal care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is a body wash, a shower gel, a bar soap, a facial cleanser, a lotion, a shampoo, or hair conditioner.

16. A method of reducing sweat and/or body odor comprising applying the composition of claim 1 to skin.

17. A method of killing bacteria comprising contacting the bacteria with a composition of claim 1 .
