Roll-on, soft solid paste, aerosol, and stick underarm compositions contain (i) an antiperspirant or deodorant active ingredient, (ii) a vehicle, (iii) an emollient, and (iv) a blend of a silicone rubber powder and an ,-diene crosslinked silicone elastomer. When the silicone rubber powder and the ,-diene crosslinked silicone elastomer are present in the blend in a weight ratio of 1:2 to 1:6, respectively, roll-on underarm compositions possess low separation of less than one percent, and syneresis is minimized in soft solid paste underarm compositions.

A water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion with a discontinuous aqueous phase dispersed in a continuous oil phase has in the continuous oil phase a linear silicone polyether, an α,ω-diene crosslinked silicone elastomer, and a nonionic organic emulsifier. The W/O emulsion is otherwise free of silicone elastomers prepared using unsaturated compounds containing silicon atoms. Either the discontinuous aqueous phase of the W/O emulsion or the continuous oil phase of the W/O emulsion contains a water soluble or oil soluble active ingredient such as a vitamin.
