LOW RESIDUE WATER-CONTAINING ANTIPERSPIRANT STICK

Antiperspirant solid stick compositions are disclosed. These compositions do not leave a significant white residue on the skin of the user and exhibit good skin feel when applied. In addition, the compositions allow for the incorporation of free water into the formulation without deactivating the antiperspirant active. The antiperspirant solid stick compositions of the present invention comprise from about 5% to about 35% of a particulate antiperspirant active; from about 10% to about 60% of a volatile solvent; from about 5% to about 30% of a structurant in the form of a wax; front about 0.5% to about 7% of a bentonite and/or hectorite clay; from about 0.2% to about 1.5% of an activator for the clay; and front about 0.5% to about 8% water.
