Abstract
The present invention encompasses a method of controlling environmental odors on the body comprising the application to the skin of a composition comprising from about 0.1% to about 5%, by weight of the composition, of solubilized, water-soluble, uncomplexed cyclodextrin; from about 0.1% to about 36%, by weight of the composition, of an oil phase selected from the group consisting of emollients, moisturizers, and skin protectants; one or more surfactants; from about 0.004% to about 2%, by weight of the composition, of a hydrophilic, volatile perfume composition; and an aqueous carrier. The compositions can be applied directly as a spray, poured from a bottle and applied by hand, or applied via a wipe.
