Stable foaming composition and method of use

1. A foamable composition for dispensing from a spray container and consisting of:

a. water in an amount of from 40% to 60% by weight of the composition;

b. from 3.0% to 5% of C 12 -C 15 alkyl benzoate by weight of the composition;

c. an oil, wherein the oil is selected from the group consisting of mineral oil and petrolatum;

d. from 0.2% to 1.0% trimethylsiloxysilicate by weight of the composition;

e. from 10% to 20% of zinc oxide by weight of the composition; and

f. from 1% to 5% of glycerin by weight of the composition;

g. from 1% to 5% of magnesium sulfate by weight of the composition;

h. from 1% to 10% of polyglyceryl-2 dipolyhydroxystearate by weight of the composition;

i. from 5% to 20% of isopropyl palmitate by weight of the composition;

j. up to 5% of Butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter by weight of the composition;

k. from 1% to 10% of polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate by weight of the composition;

l. From 0.1% to 1.0% of Avena sativa kernel extract by weight of the composition;

m. from 1% to 5% of zinc stearate by weight of the composition;

n. from 5% to 20% of dicaprylyl carbonate by weight of the composition;

o. up to 5% of lanolin by weight of the composition;

p. from 0.1% to 1% of a mixture of 1,2-hexanediol; caprylyl glycol; tropolone by weight of the composition; and

a propellant selected from the group consisting of propane, butane, isobutane, pentane, ethane, isopentane, methyl ether, difluoroethane, and combinations thereof;

wherein the trimethylsiloxysilicate maintains bubble formation in the composition;

wherein the foamable composition is foamed upon dispensing from the spray container, and wherein the foamed composition has a foam drainage time of 30 seconds to 2 minutes;

wherein the viscosity of the foamable composition is from 10,000 cps to 40,000 cps at 25° C., as measured using a Brookfield RVDV-II+Pro viscometer at ambient temperature; and

wherein the foamable composition is stable for at least four weeks.

2. A method of dispensing a composition from a dispenser comprising the steps of: (a) aligning an exit port of the dispenser at a target site, wherein the exit port is biased in a closed position and is openable upon activation, wherein the dispenser includes the foamable composition of claim 1 ; and (b) activating the exit port at the target site to open the exit port, thereby dispensing a desired amount of the foamable composition at the target site.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the target site is human skin.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the dispenser further includes an inorganic compound.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein a weight ratio of trimethylsiloxysilicate to C 12 -C 15 alkyl benzoate is in the range of from 1:2 to 2:1.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the propellant is present in the dispenser in an amount of from 6% to 8% by weight of the contents of the dispenser.

7. A system for dispensing a composition from a spray container, the system comprising: (a) the foamable composition of claim 1 ; and (b) a dispenser having an exit port that is biased in a closed position and is openable via an opening action.

8. The foamable composition of claim 1 , wherein trimethylsiloxysilicate is present in the amount of 0.5% by weight of the composition.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein trimethylsiloxysilicate in the foamable composition is present in the amount of 0.5% by weight of the composition.
