Abstract:
A propellant-free foamable aqueous composition consisting essentially of:(a) water in an amount from about 70% to about 98% by weight, based on the total weight of the aqueous composition; (b) surfactant in an amount from about 2% to about 35% by weight, based on the total weight of the aqueous composition, wherein the surfactant is a combination of polysorbate 20, triethanolamine-cocoyl glutamate and disodium cocoamphodiacetate; and (c) foam stabilizing agent in an amount from about 0.10% to about 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the aqueous composition, wherein the foam stabilizing agent is selected from the group consisting of natural and synthetic gums, polyalkylene glycols, alkylene polyols and combinations thereof; wherein the propellant-free foamable aqueous composition is capable of forming a stable foam when dispensed from a propellantless finger actuated mechanical pump dispenser, wherein the stable foam maintains the integrity of a disposable substrate to which it is applied and wherein the stable foam is suitable for application to the vaginal or anal area.
