Abstract: Described herein, an anhydrous cosmetic composition includes one or more water-absorbing components; a malodour-controlling component; a cosmetically acceptable carrier; wherein the anhydrous cosmetic composition has a burst resistance pressure greater than about 137.9 mBar (2 psi); wherein the anhydrous cosmetic composition has a water vapor sorption per 100 g of the composition from about 2.0 g to about 15 g; and wherein the anhydrous cosmetic composition is essentially free of aluminium-based antiperspirant actives.

Abstract: Described herein, an anhydrous cosmetic composition includes a first water-absorbing component comprising a mixture of a superabsorbent polymer and a polyquaternium; a second water-absorbing component selected from the group consisting of starch particles, a stearate component, and mixtures thereof; a malodour-controlling component; a cosmetically acceptable carrier; and wherein the anhydrous cosmetic composition is essentially free of aluminum-based antiperspirant actives.

Abstract: Described herein, an anhydrous cosmetic composition includes a first water-absorbing component having a water vapor sorption greater than about 20 g per 100 g of the first water-absorbing component according to the Water Vapor Sorption Test Method as disclosed herein; a second water-absorbing component having a water vapor sorption from about 8.5 to about 19.9 g per 100 g of the second water-absorbing component according to the Water Vapor Sorption Test Method as disclosed herein; a malodour-controlling component; a cosmetically acceptable carrier; and wherein the anhydrous cosmetic composition is essentially free of aluminum-based antiperspirant actives.
