PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide gel antiperspirant compositions that sufficiently give a refreshing feeling at the time of using in spite of containing only small amount of ethanol and have excellent stability.SOLUTION: A gel state antiperspirant composition contains: (A) menthol or a derivative thereof; (B) a cationic surfactant; (C) zinc para-phenol sulfonate; (D) ethanol; and (E) a polymer in which ethylenic unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers are crosslinked with a water-soluble crosslinker, wherein the viscosity when measured using BH type viscometer at the number of rotations of 20 rpm and at the measurement temperature of 25°C is 1000-40000 mPa s.SELECTED DRAWING: None
