Spray compositions are formulated with powders (e.g. corn starch) which improve skin feel, and also have a hydrophobically modified oxide additive (e.g. modified silica) to reduce the incidence of can/bottle clogging and sedimentation caused by the powder. The oxide is a mixed hydrophobic/hydrophilic oxide such as hydrophobicly modified fumed silica (e.g. silica dimethyl silylate). In one embodiment DEET can be delivered by such formulations.
