A deodorant stick comprising: at least about 25% of a liquid triglyceride; at least one antimicrobial; a primary structurant with a melting point of at least about 50° C.; and less than 8% of secondary structurants having a melting point of at least about 60° C.; said stick being free of an aluminum salt; and said stick having a hardness from about 80 mm.sup.∗10 to about 140 mm.sup.∗10, as measured by penetration with ASTM D-1321 needle.

A deodorant stick comprising at least 25% by weight liquid triglyceride; a primary antimicrobial having a water solubility of at most about 90 g/L at 25° C.; a fragrance composition comprising at least about 50% natural oils, essential oils, or a combination thereof; and a primary structurant with a melting point of at least 50° C.; said deodorant stick being free of an aluminum salt; and said deodorant stick having a hardness from about 70 mm*10 to about 140 mm*10, as measured by penetration with ASTM D-1321 needle.

A volatile oil composition includes a vehicle and a silicone elastomer, wherein the vehicle is a volatile oily composition of (a) from 50 to 100% by weight of a mixture of linear paraffins including (i) 90 to 99% by weight of at least one linear paraffin selected from C.sub.8, C.sub.10, C.sub.12 paraffins and mixtures thereof, and (ii) 1 to 10% by weight of a C.sub.14 linear paraffin, and (b) from 0 to 50% by weight of at least one non-volatile oil. The composition may be used in cosmetic compositions such as for making up and/or caring for and/or protecting skin, lips, eyelashes and/or nails, and in antiperspirant/deodorant compositions.

Antimicrobial compositions and methods for depositing or coating the antimicrobial or antibacterial compositions on a substrate to prevent microbial adhesion are provided. The antimicrobial composition may include a cationic polymer having a poly-allylamine backbone. A portion of the poly-allylamine backbone may be functionalized with at least one of a guanidine functional group and a biguanide functional group.
