Abstract

A mild skin-cleansing, nonlathering mousse-forming emulsion which leaves the skin, after washing, feeling moisturized, soft and smooth, and which does not require rinsing. The emulsion comprises: PA0 A. from about 95% to about 99.5% of a concentrate containing by weight of the concentrate: PA1 1. from 1.5% to 15% nonionic surfactant; PA1 2. from about 0.2% to about 5% of a C.sub.12 -C.sub.22 saturated, straight chain fatty alcohol; PA1 3. from about 5% to about 35% of an emollient other than a C.sub.12 -C.sub.22 fatty alcohol; PA1 4. from about 5% to about 20% of a skin moisturizer; PA1 5. the balance water; the weight ratio of surfactant:emollient plus fatty alcohol being from about 0.1:1 to about 0.5:1; and PA0 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.
