Atomized spray for grip enhancement

Abstract

Provided by the invention are systems for applying antiperspirant grip enhancement compositions to a selected skin treatment area. Application of the antiperspirant grip enhancement composition is accomplished by forming the composition into a mist or spray using an atomizing spray dispenser.
