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 anionic polymers. L'invention concerne des articles absorbants comprenant des compositions non aqueuses pour protéger la fonction barrière de la peau. Ces compositions peuvent être appliquées sur les surfaces faisant face au corps d'articles absorbants de sorte que ces compositions viennent au contact de la peau. Les compositions selon l'invention présentent une stabilité améliorée après traitement sur les surfaces faisant face au corps. Elles offrent plusieurs avantages, notamment la prévention et l'atténuation des irritations de la peau associées à l'utilisation d'articles absorbants. Elles peuvent comprendre des émollients, des activateurs de viscosité et des polymères anioniques.
