Abstract

Described herein is a dosage of foam including from about 7.5 cm 3 to about 70 cm 3 of the foam. The foam includes (a) from about 0.5 g to about 4 g of a detersive surfactant; (b) from about 0.001 g to about 4 g propellant; (c) a foam density of from about 0.05 g/cm 3 to about 0.35 g/cm 3 ; (d) a bubble size distribution having an R 32 of from about 5 μm to about 100 μm; and (e) a β value of from about 0.0075 g/cm 3 to about 0.1575 g/cm 3 .

Claims (26)

1. A dosage of foam comprising a volume of from about 7.5 cm 3 to about 70 cm 3 of the foam, wherein the foam comprises:

a) a detersive surfactant system comprising:

i) from about 15 wt. % to about 30 wt. % anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of sodium undecyl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauroyl isethionate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium laurethsulfosuccinate, sodium laurylsulfosuccinate, and mixtures thereof:

ii) from about 2 wt. % to about 12 wt % zwitterionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of lauramidopropyl betaine, cocoamidopropyl betaine, lauryl hydroxysultaine, and mixtures thereof;

b) from about 0.00005 g to about 0.25 g of a cationic deposition polymer by weight of the foam; and

c) from about 45 wt. % to about 78 wt. % water; wherein:

1) the foam has a foam density of from about 0.05 g/cm 3 to about 0.35 g/cm 3 ;

2) the foam has a plurality of bubbles comprising a bubble size distribution having a Sauter mean radius R32 of from about 5 μm to about 100 μm; and

3) the foam has a β value of from about 0.0075 g/cm 3 to about 0.1575 g/cm 3 .

2. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the β value is from about 0.0127 g/cm 3 to about 0.1575 g/cm 3 .

3. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the β value is from about 0.0200 g/cm 3 to about 0.1575 g/cm 3 .

4. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the β value is from about 0.0300 g/cm 3 to about 0.1575 g/cm 3 .

5. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the β value is from about 0.0300 g/cm 3 to about 0.1100 g/cm 3 .

6. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the β value is from about 0.0300 g/cm 3 to about 0.0700 g/cm 3 .

7. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of bubbles comprises a bubble size distribution having a Sauter mean radius R 32 of from about 10 μm to about 60 μm.

8. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of bubbles comprises a bubble size distribution having a Sauter mean radius comprises an R 32 of from about 20 μm to about 50 μm.

9. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the volume of the dosage of foam is from about 10 g/cm 3 to about 70 g/cm 3 .

10. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the volume of the dosage of foam is from about 20 g/cm 3 to about 70 g/cm 3 .

11. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the volume of the dosage of foam is from about 7.5 g/cm 3 to about 45 g/cm 3 .

12. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the volume of the dosage of foam is from about 10 g/cm 3 to about 45 g/cm 3 .

13. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the foam density is from about from about 0.055 g/cm 3 to about 0.35 g/cm 3 .

14. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the foam density is from about 0.125 g/cm 3 to about 0.35 g/cm 3 .

15. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the foam density is from about 0.125 g/cm 3 to about 0.275 g/cm 3 .

16. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the foam density is from about 0.125 g/cm 3 to about 0.25 g/cm 3 .

17. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the dosage of foam comprises from about 0.5 g to about 3 g of the surfactant system by weight of the foam.

18. The dosage of foam of claim 1 , wherein the dosage of foam comprises from about 0.75 g to about 1.75 g of the surfactant system by weight of the foam.
