Abstract
Disclosed are solid antiperspirant and deodorant sticks having a product hardness of at least about 600 gram.multidot.force, and which comprises from about 0.1% to about 60% by weight of antiperspirant or deodorant active; from about 10% to about 95% by weight of a liquid carrier; from about 1% to about 60% by weight of a solid polymorphic triglyceride gellant that within the composition is substantially free of long range crystalline order. By selecting the crystalline phase of the triglyceride gellant in the finished product, these antiperspirant and deodorant sticks provide improved product hardness at lower triglyceride gellant concentrations and provide improved low residue performance and antiperspirant efficacy.
