Disclosed herein is a free flowing, oil absorbing and water repellant modified carbohydrate, wherein the modified car-bohydrate is produced from a carbohydrate base being derivatized with one or more anionic moieties; esterified with octenylsuccinic anhydride; and complexed with a polyvalent cation, as well as compositions containing such modified carbohydrates. Such modified carbohydrates and compositions containing same are used in food and personal care applications, cosmetics, dry shampoo, anti-perspirant, deodorant, ointment and sunscreen.

Natural antiperspirant compositions comprising benzaldehyde, honokiol or capsaicin and their method of use.

The present invention is in the field of personal care compositions, in particular compositions comprising antiperspirant actives. The present invention more particularly relates to compositions which do not contain the conventional and well established metal based actives, yet exhibit similar efficacy. This is achieved through use of a combination of a film forming polymer, a specific solvent and a plasticizer.
