octoxyglycerin sensiva u2122 sc 50 and various zinc salts for example zinc ricinoleate triclosan or triclocarban can illustratively be included in an amount of from 0 05 to about 0 5 by weight of the total weight of the composition it is also possible to match the refractive index of the components in the compositions so as to reduce or eliminate the residue left after application with regard to fragrances it has been found that the retention of fragrance is enhanced by the compositions of this invention dissolving a fragrance component into the polymer solution such as d limonene allows for a greater substantivity of the fragrance material thereby maintaining a longer deodorancy effect and or hedonic benefit to the user this feature is helpful in deodorant and antiperspirant products plasticizers may be added to enhance the film forming properties of the composition and contribute to the reduction of visible residue while it has been observed that some cracking of the film formed with several compositions of this invention does not appear to affect the performance of the film as a wetness reducing agent it may be desirable for aesthetic reasons to use plasticizers to produce more flexible films which resist rub off and have reduced visibility examples of suitable plasticizers compatible.
