Formula Anatomy Deciphered—Antiperspirants
By: Eric S. Abrutyn, TPC2 Advisors Ltd.
The formulation matrix delivery system is the key to effectiveness and acceptable consumer antiperspirant systems. The most common delivery systems are roll-ons (either aqueous or cyclosiloxane suspensions), aerosol (hydrocarbon propellant suspensions), extrudable clear gels (water-in-cyclosiloxane emulsions), extrudable opaque soft solids (anhydrous cyclosiloxane suspension pastes) or solid sticks (anhydrous cyclomethicone suspension solids).

A Novel Strategy for Achieving Efficacy in Deodorants
By: Dennis Fost and Trevor Blease, Croda
Growing worldwide demand for mild, natural ingredients has prompted new formulating approaches in deodorants, yet the number of efficacious ingredients outside of antiperspirant actives has remained limited. This paper looks at historic approaches to formulating for deodorancy and examines recent data pertaining to myristamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate, a naturally derived ingredient with application in deodorants.

Evaluating the Stability of Flavor and Fragrance Materials in Deodorant Sticks
By: Chintaman T. Bondar, Sushilkumar A. Dubal, Adi…
In antiperspirants and deodorants, active ingredients or product formulations can alter the perfume oils or individual odorants in the aqueous alcoholic solutions. Thus, it is important to conduct stability tests before large-scale manufacture and distribution. In the described study, researchers evaluated the stability of various flavor and fragrance materials in deodorant sticks containing active ingredients.
