Abstract
Abstract Aqueous aerosol mousse compositions are disclosed which contain a silicone material dissolved in the aerosol propellant phase. Such compositions are not only easily processed but also provide for better dry combing than is obtainable if the silicone material is dispersed in the aqueous phase.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
An aerosol hair styling mousse composition comprising: (a) from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of a hair setting polymer soluble or dispersible in the aqueous phase of the hair styling mousse composition; (b) from about 0.05% to about 2% by weight of a high molecular weight silicone material which is a polydiorganosiloxane having a viscosity of from about 10 5 to about 15 x 10 6 centistokes; (c) from about 5% to about 20% by weight of an aerosol propellant which is a liquifiable gas conventionally used in aerosol containers for expelling the materials from the container and forming the mousse character of the hair styling mousse composition; and (d) the remainder water; wherein said silicone material is dissolved in said propellant prior to said propellant being put into an aerosol container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
An aerosol hair styling mousse composition comprising: (a) from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of a hair setting polymer soluble or dispersible in the aqueous phase of the hair styling mousse composition; (b) from about 0.05% to about 2% by weight of a high molecular weight silicone material which is a polydiorganosiloxane having a viscosity of from about 10 5 to about 15 x 10 6 centistokes; (c) from about 5% to about 20% by weight of an aerosol propellant which is a liquifiable gas conventionally used in aerosol containers for expelling the materials from the container and forming the mousse character of the hair styling mousse composition; and (d) the remainder water; wherein said silicone material is dissolved in said propellant prior to said propellant being put into an aerosol container.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
An aerosol composition according to claim 1 wherein the propellant is selected from the group consisting of trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, monochlorodifluoromethane, trichlorotrifluoroethane, dimethyl ether, propane, isobutane, and n-butane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
61 words
An aerosol composition according to claim 2 wherein the hair setting polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone, copolymers of polyvinylpyrrolidone and methylmethacrylate, copolymers of polyvinylpyrrolidone and vinylacetate, polvinyl alcohol, copolymers of polyvinyl alcohol and crotonic acid, copolymers of polyvinyl alcohol and maleic anhydride, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl guar gum, sodium polystyrene sulfonate, polyvinylpyrrolidone/ethlmethyacrylate/methacrylic acid terpolymer, and octylacrylamide/acrylate/butylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymers.
