Patent attributes
The present invention is an antiperspirant product, comprising:(a) an oil-in water microemulsion including an oil phase and a water phase and being substantially free of alcohol, said microemulsion further comprising:one or more oil-in-water emulsifiers selected from the group consisting of polyethoxylated oil-in-water emulsifiers, polypropoxylated oil-in-water emulsifiers and polyethoxylated and polypropoxylated oil-in-water emulsifiers, wherein said microemulsion has a total emulsifier content of less than 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the microemulsion, andone or more antiperspirants, having a total content of 5 to 40% by weight, based on the total weight of the microemulsion,wherein said microemulsion is prepared by bringing a mixture comprising the water phase, the oil phase, and the one or more oil-in-water emulsifiers to a temperature within or above the phase-inversion temperature range, and subsequently cooling it to room temperature, and(b) a pump atomizer, comprising:a container, andan atomizer pump comprising a riser tube, a cylindrical chamber which is placed under pressure by depressing a piston, a pump valve which closes the cylindrical chamber and opens under a pressure of at least 0.7 mPa, and two or more turbulence channels radiating to a nozzle opening, said channels causing a flowing liquid to rotate relative to a flow axis.
