International Classification:

A01N 2534

US Classification:

424404, 424402

Abstract:

The present invention relates to absorbent articles including non-aqueous compositions for protecting the barrier function of the skin. The compositions can be applied to the bodyfacing surfaces of absorbent articles so that the compositions come into contact with the skin. The compositions of the invention have improved stability on the bodyfacing surfaces after processing. The compositions of the invention provide several benefits including prevention and alleviation of skin irritations associated with the use of absorbent articles. The compositions can include emollients, viscosity enhancers and extracted botanical actives.

International Classification:

A61F013/15

US Classification:

604/367000, 604/385010

Abstract:

The present invention relates to absorbent articles including compositions having improved rheological properties. The compositions of the invention exhibit improved spreading characteristics and would provide a more even distribution of skin care compounds on the skin of the wearer of the absorbent articles. The improved spreading characteristics are quantified by a Tangent Delta measurement. The present invention also relates to absorbent articles including compositions that contain silicone elastomers.
