Abstract

Abstract A mild skin-cleansing, nonfoaming mousse-forming emulsion which leaves the skin, after washing, feeling moisturized, soft and smooth, and which does not require rinsing. The emulsion comprises: A. from about 95% to about 99.5% of a concentr ate containing by weight of the concentrate: 1. from 1.5% to 15% nonionic surfactant; 2. from about 10% to about 40% of an emollient; 3. from about 5% to about 20% of a skin moisturizer; 4. the balance water; the weight ratio of surfactant:emollient being from about 0.1:1 to about 0.5:1; and B. from 0.5% to 5% of a moderately water-soluble propellant (e.g., nitrous oxide). The mousse emulsion is packaged in a pressurized aerosol container.
