Aerosol delivery systems
An aerosol composition, which is prepared from a biliquid foam, an aqueous phase and a propellant. The incorporation of an oil soluble functional material into the biliquid foam during the preparation of the aerosol composition enables this material to be more readily incorporated into the composition.
1. An aerosol composition which comprises:
a biliquid foam,
an aqueous phase; and
a propellant.
2. An aerosol composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the biliquid foam incorporates an oil soluble functional material therein.
3. An aerosol composition as claimed in claim 2 wherein the oil soluble functional material is a fragrance, lubricant, vegetable oil, fuel, silicone, ester or a bioactive material.
4. An aerosol composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the propellant is liquefied petroleum gas.
5. An aerosol composition as claimed in claim 1 which comprises from 0.01 to 40% by weight of the biliquid foam, from 5 to 40% by weight of the propellant and from 20 to 95% by weight of water.
6. An aerosol composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the aqueous phase includes therein one or more surfactants.
7. An aerosol composition as claimed in claim 6 wherein the one or more surfactants is a cationic surfactant.
8. An aerosol composition as claimed in claim 7 wherein the cationic surfactant is a quaternary ammonium compound or an amine oxide.
