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. L'invention se rapporte à des articles absorbants obtenus à partir de compositions non aqueuses destinées à protéger la fonction barrière de la peau. Les compositions peuvent être appliquées sur les surfaces des articles absorbants côté corps de telle sorte qu'elles entrent en contact avec la peau. Lesdites compositions font preuve d'une meilleure stabilité sur les surfaces en contact avec la peau après traitement, elles offrent plusieurs avantages, notamment la prévention et l'atténuation des irritations cutanées associées à l'utilisation d'articles absorbants. Ces compositions peuvent comprendre des émollients, des stimulateurs de viscosité et des principes actifs extraits de plantes.
