The present invention is directed to a composition comprising an antiperspirant salt suspended in a carrier vehicle thickened with a silicone latex. The composition typically comprises about 50 to 90% carrier vehicle, which is advantageously substantially comprised of a volatile silicone, about 3 to 30% antiperspirant salt, which is typically an aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum-zirconium chlorohydrate, and about 3-25% silicone latex. Preferably the composition will contain an auxiliary thickening agent such as a fumed silica, typically in an amount of 0.01 to 0.1%. The composition will preferably have a viscosity of about 12,000 to 50,000 cP. The present invention also embraces an apparatus for delivering the above-described composition, said apparatus having a porous dome with a porosity of about 150.mu. to 400.mu. through which the composition is delivered.

[ What is claimed is:] [12.]12. Apparatus for dispensing a viscous antiperspirant or deodorant composition to an under arm portion of a human body, said apparatus comprising a container which defines a reservoir that is at least partially filled with said viscous composition, and an applicator head having interconnected pores affixed at one end of said container, wherein said applicator head comprises a rigid, non-deformable, sintered porous polyolefin with an externally disposed upper surface and an internally disposed bottom surface which is in contact with said viscous composition over a major portion of said bottom surface, said apparatus further comprising a transport mechanism to force said viscous composition from said reservoir through the pores of said applicator head for distribution of said viscous composition onto said upper surface, wherein said transport mechanism comprises (i) a platform situated below said applicator head within said container, the portion of said container between said platform and said applicator head defining said reservoir, and (ii) a turn buckle coupled to a threaded shaft which is threadedly engaged to said platform, wherein rotation of said turn buckle causes rotation of said threaded shaft which causes said platform to move toward said applicator head.
