Abstract

Aqueous compositions containing about 0.5-10% of at least one salt of a fatty acid amide of an amino acid, and about 0.05-0.2% of a salt of an acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, or about 0.1-0.75% of a salt of acrylates copolymer, are clear, foamable and ultra-mild on skin. When dispensed by a pump sprayer the compositions afford a dense, uniform, stable foam which when spread on the skin gives an elegant cushioning foam pad effect between the hand and skin.
