Anti-microbial products comprising an antiperspirant active and an
amount of transition metal chelator sufficient to enhance the deodorancy performance
of said antiperspirant active, are claimed. The transition metal chelator salt
improves the anti-microbial performance of the antiperspirant active and the two
components can be co-formulated. Particular products are antiperspirant deodorant
compositions. Preferred chelator salts have high affinity for iron (III).
