Abstract: The present invention relates to antiperspirant compositions. In particular, the present invention relates to anhydrous antiperspirant aerosol compositions comprising a humectant with superior ability to absorb water. Although the prior art provides for various solutions to the problem of interaction between the humectant the antiperspirant actives in anhydrous antiperspirant aerosol compositions, improved ways of addressing this problem still remains to be desired. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a humectant which does not interact with the antiperspirant actives in an anhydrous antiperspirant aerosol composition. It has been found that stable anhydrous antiperspirant aerosol compositions wherein the humectant and the antiperspirant active does not interact can be achieved by the use of specific sugar alcohols as the humectant in specific concentrations in the composition.

Abstract: The invention provides a non-aqueous oral care composition suitable for cleaning the surfaces of the oral cavity, the composition comprising: (a) from 20 to 90 wt % (by weight by based on the total weight of the composition) of one or more organic polyols having 3 or more hydroxyl groups in the molecule; (b) from 3 to 75 wt % (by weight based on the total weight of the oral care composition) of one or more particulate abrasive cleaning agents; (c) from 0.2 to 5 wt % (by weight based on the total weight of the oral care composition) of one or more surfactants, and (d) from 0.01 to 5 wt % (by weight based on the total weight of the oral care composition) of xanthan gum. The composition is easy to manufacture without the need for careful temperature control. It is also un expectedly stable and cost-effective, with suitable viscosity characteristics despite its non-aqueous nature.
