Abstract

A topical drying composition is provided for removal of sweat from skin areas which are vulnerable to sweating after sweat producing activities. The drying efficacy of the composition is due to the presence of encapsulated trehalose, with or without aluminum used as aluminum zirconium compound. Application of an effective amount of the composition to the skin prior to exercise or sweat removal activity reduces sweating and accelerates drying of the skin.
