Description: MILD CLEANSING MOUSSE TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention is related to mild personal skin cleansers. More particularly, this invention relates to pressurized aerosol mousse dispensers of skin cleansers comprising surfactants and other cleansing aids. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In pressurized foam dispensers of the above-mentioned type, a foamable concentrate, generally an aqueous soap solution, is contained in a dispenser equipped with a dispensing head and valve, and pressurized with a normally gaseous propellant, e.g., a low molecular weight hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon mixture or a halohydrocarbon or halohydrocarbon mixture. Upon discharge of the emulsion through the dispensing head the volatilization of the dispersed liquid droplets of propellant causes the dispensed concentrate to foam. Depending upon the precise formulation of the concentrate, the dispensed product may range from a dense creamy foam to a light foam. The term "emulsion" will be used throughout this specification and claims to refer to the whole liquid contents of the dispenser, i.e., the foamable concentrate plus liquid phase propellant, and the term "concentrate" will be used to refer to the liquid contents of the dispenser, other than the propellant, "liquid" in this context embracing solutions, emulsions and suspensions. In other words, the concentrate itself may be an emulsion or suspension and not necessarily a solution of the foam producing ingredients in a suitable liquid medium, which, in the case of the present invention, will be water. The term "mousse", as used herein, is the same as foam, and refers to the dispensed product unless otherwise specified. The cleaning of skin with surface-active cleaning preparations has become a focus of great interest. Many people wash and scrub their skin with various surface-active preparations several times a day-. - Ideal skin cleansers should cleanse the skin gently, causing little or no irritation without defatting and overdrying the skin or leaving it taut after frequent routine use. Most lathering soaps, liquids and bars included, fail in this respect. Certain synthetic surfactants are particularly mild. However, a major drawback of most mild synthetic surfactant systems when formulated for skin cleansing is poor lather performance compared to the highest bar soap standards (bars which are rich in coconut soap and superfatted). On the other side, the use of known high sudsing anionic surfactants with lather boosters can yield acceptable lather volume. Unfortunately, however, the highest sudsing anionic surfactants are, in fact, poor in clinical skin mildness. Surfactants that are among the mildest, such as sodium lauryl glyceryl ether sulfonate, (AGS), are marginal in lather. These two facts make the surfactant selection, the lather and skin feel benefit formulation process a delicate balancing act. Moisturizers provide skin conditioning benefits. E.g., it is known that glycerin is added to bars and liquid cleansing products for skin benefits. Glycerin in liquids at levels of greater than 8% is extremely difficult to lather and in nonsoap bars is difficult to process. Glycerin has also been used in a soap based shaving cream at a 10% level. U.S. Pat. No. 3,959,160, Hosier et al., issued May 25, 1976, discloses aerosol shaving foam compositions which comprise soaps or nonsoap anionic surfactants and fatty alcohols. The Horsler et al. examples include up to 5% glycerin. This patent does not disclose higher levels of moisturizer or polymeric skin feel aids. Examples of mild liquid cleansing compositions are disclosed in the following references. U.S. Pat. No. 4,438,211, Stiros, issued July 6, 1982, discloses liquid skin cleanser with 2.3% to 3% AGS, the polymer JR400 and small amounts of free fatty acid plus a fatty acid alkylolamide as lather boosting agents. Compositions containing the surfactants AGS, betaine and sarcosinate are not disclosed. U.S. Pat. No. 4,491,539, James J. Hoskins and Adriaan Kessler, issued Jan. 1, 1985, discloses liquid cleansing products comprising about 5% to 30% of surfactant, about 0.1% to about 1.0% of guar material, about 0.15% to about 1.0% of nonionic carboxyvinyl polymer, and water. Exemplary compositions containing the surfactants AGS, betaine and sarcosinate are not disclosed. British Pat. No. 2,103,236A, Colgate, February 16, 1984, discloses a light duty, liquid detergent containing guar gum, a ternary surfactant mixture including betaine. AGS is not used. British Pat. No. 2,114,994A, L'Oreal, Sept. 1, 1983, discloses a cleansing product based on acylisethionates and cationic polymers, and is incorporated herein by reference. Rather stringent requirements for skin cleansers limit the choice of surface-active agents, and final formulations represent some degree of compromise. Mildness is often obtained at the expense of effective cleansing, or lathering may be sacrificed for either mildness, product stability, or both. None of the above-cited prior art formulations contain the composition of mild synthetic surfactant, high level of moisturizer with polymer skin feel aids. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION Therefore, one object of this invention is the development of skin cleaning compositions which exhibit desired skin feel after washing together with effective cleansing through surface activity and abundant rich, creamy foam. The desired skin feel is achieved through the combined action of mild surfactants, skin feel polymer and high levels of moisturizers which act together to leave the skin feeling less tautidry, more moisturized, softer and smoother after washing. Other objects will become apparent from the detailed description below. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention offers a valuable combination of desirable properties to skin cleaning formulations. The invention provides a mild skin cleansing mousse having a superior combination of rich, creamy foam and skin feel after washing leaving the skin feeling less taut/dry, more moisturezed, softer and smoother. The cleansing mousse product comprises a pressurized dispenser equipped with a dispensing head and valve, the dispenser containing therein a foam-forming emulsion. The cleansing emulsion comprises: 88% to 97% of a concern¯ trate and 3-1296 of a propellant. The concentrate comprises: 1. from 3% to 208 of a mild nonsoap surfactant selected from anionic and amphoteric surfactants; 2. a polymeric skin feel aid at 0.05% to 58; 3. a moisturizer at a level of 10% to 60%; and 4. the balance water. The concentrate of the present invention contains from about 15% to about 87% water, preferably from about 35% to about 75% water. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a skin cleaning mousse with superior after washing skin feel combined with rich, creamy foam. This mild cleansing mousse composition is believed to provide less skin irritation and facial tautness than commercially available toilet soap bars, synthetic toilet bars or other known specialty lathering facial cleansing products. The mousse of this invention also provides abundant, rich creamy foam and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth after washing. The preferred mousse concentrate contains: 15-40% glycerin; 6-12% alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate (AGS) plus a co-surfactant selected from (i) anionic alkyoyl (acyl) sarcosinate or (ii) amphoteric betaine or sultaine, or mixtures thereof; and 0.1-1% polymeric skin feel aid selected from cationic polymers including guar gums, cellulosic resins; homopolymers and copolymers of dimethyldiallylammonium chloride and nonionic guar gums. Moisturizers/Emollients Moisturizers are included to provide the skin conditioning benefits and to aid in leaving the skin feeling less tautldry, more moisturized, softer and smoother after washing. The aerosol product form surprisingly allows very high levels of the moisturizers to be incorporated without adversely affecting the foamforming ability of the product or its in-use feel, thereby delivering better after washing skin feel than heretofore available from conventional lathering liquid cleansers. The moisturizers useful in the present invention are used at a level of 10% to 60% by weight of the concentrate. The preferred levels of moisturizers are, respectively, 12% to 40% and 15% to 40%. The preferred moisturizers are the nonocclusive liquid water-soluble polyols and the essential amino acid compounds found naturally in the skin. The most preferred moisturizer is glycerin. The moisturizer, at these levels, provides superior after washing skin feel, less taut, more moisturized, softer and smoother. The mousse of the present invention is surprisingly stable. In the mousse formulation of this invention the high level of moisturizer can also provide an enhanced creamy foam. The term "moisturizer" is often used within the cosmetic industry without very exact definition. The term is sometimes used as synonymous with emollient, and is then meant to describe a material which imparts a smooth and soft feeling to the skin surface. There are two ways of reducing water loss from the stratum corneum. One is to deposit on the surface of the skin an occlusive layer which reduces the rate of evaporation. The second method is to add nonocclusive hygroscopic substances to the stratum corneum which will retain water, and make this water available to the stratum corneum to alter its physical properties and produce a cosmetically desirable effect. Both occlusive and nonocclusive moisturizers work in the present invention. The preferred is the nonocclusive moisturizer. Some examples of the more preferred nonocclusives are liquid water-soluble polyols, glycerin, propylene glycol, sorbitol, polyethylene glycol, ethoxylatedlpropoxylated ethers of methyl glucose (e.g., methyl gluceth-20) and ethoxylated/propoxylated ethers of lanolin alcohol (e.g., Solulan-75). Other preferred nonocclusive moisturizers are the compounds which are found to be naturally occurring in the stratum corneum of the skin, such as sodium pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, lactic acid, urea, L-proline, guanidine and pyrrolidone. Examples of other water-soluble nonocclusive moisturizers include water-soluble hexadecyl, myristyl, isodecyl or isopropyl esters of adipic, lactic, oleic, stearic, isostearic, myristic or linoleic acids, as well as many of their corresponding alcohol esters (sodium isostearoyl2-lactylate, sodium capryl lactylate), hydrolyzed protein and other collagen-derived proteins, aloe vera gel and acetamide MEA. The occlusive type moisturizers include petrolatum, mineral oil, beeswax, silicone oil, lanolin and oil-soluble lanolin derivatives, saturated and unsaturated fatty alcohols such as behenyl alcohol, hydrocarbons such as squalane, and various animal and vegetable oils such as almond oil, peanut oil, wheat germ oil, linseed oil, jojoba oil, oil of apricot pits, walnuts, palm nuts, pistachio nuts, sesame seeds, rapeseed, cade oil, corn oil, peach pit oil, poppyseed oil, pine oil, castor oil, soybean oil, avocado oil, safflower oil, coconut oil, hazelnut oil, olive oil, grape seed oil and sunflower seed oil. Other examples of both types of moisturizers are disclosed in "Emollients -- A Critical Evaluation," by J. Mausner, Cosmetics s Toiletries, May 1981, incorporated herein by reference. Free fatty acids are also acceptable moisturizers. The Surfactant Preferred mild anionic and amphoteric surfactants used in this invention include: alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate (AGS), anionic acyl sarcosinates, methyl acyl taurates, N-acyl glutamates, alkyl glucosides, acyl isethionates, al kyl sulfosucci nate, alkyl phosphate ester, ethoxylated alkyl phosphate esters, trideceth sulfate, methyl glucose esters, protein condensates, mixtures of ethoxytated alkyl sulfates and alkyl amine- oxides, betaines, sultaines, and mixtures thereof. Alkyl chains for these surfactants are C8-C22, preferably C10-C18. A preferred primary mild surfactant is sodium coco glyceryl ether sulfonate, which is mild and relatively nonirritating to the skin. This has been demonstrated in in vitro testing. While desirable to incorporate into a facial cleanser for its mildness properties, this coco AGS alone does not provide sufficient lather volume or speed of lather and produces a large, open bubble lather not of the rich, creamy small bubbled type desirable in facial cleansing. A 90/10 coconut/tallow alkyl distribution is most preferred. Certain secondary co-surfactants used in combination with AGS can provide a creamier and more stable foam. These secondary surfactants must also be intrinsically mild. Two secondary surfactants have been found to be especially desirable: a zwitterionic surfactant of the betaine class 70/30 laur/myristamidopropyl betaine (trade name Lexaine LM, made by Inolex Corp.), and an anionic, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (trade name Hamposyl L, made by Hampshire Chemical). Nonionics cannot be used as the sole surfactant in this product because of their low foaming ability; however, they can be incorporated as a co-surfactant. The amphoteric betaines and sultaines can be used as the sole surfactant, but are more preferred as a co-surfactant. Examples of betaines useful herein include the high alkyl betaines such as coco dimethyl carboxymethyl betaine, lauryl dimethyl carboxymethyl betaine, lauryl dimethyl alpha-carboxy-ethyl betaine, cetyl dimethyl carboxymethyl betaine, lauryl bis- (2-hydroxy-propyl) carboxymethyl betaine, oleyl dimethyl gamma-carboxypropyl betaine, lauryl bis- ( 2-hydroxypropyl) al pha-carboxyethyl betaine1 etc. The sulfo betaines may be represented by coco sultaine, stearyl sultaine, lauryl dimethyl ethyl sulfobetaine, lauryl bis(2-hydroxyethyl propyl sulfobetaine and the like; amido betaines and amidosulfobetaines, wherein the RCONH (CH2)3 radical is attached to the nitrogen atom and are also useful in this invention. It was also learned that the betaine employed in compositions of this invention (Lexaine LM) can provide an additional benefit of soft/ smooth skin feel through a desquamation effect, i.e., removal of dead skin cells (dry skin flakes) in in vitro testing. Although the zwitterionic surfactants of the betaine class tcetyl betaines like Lonzaine 16S) are known to have this capability, generally it has been thought that the alkyl group chain length should be C16 or higher. It was a surprising finding that the low levels of C12-C14 alkyl betaine employed in this development would provide a factor of 2X improvement in scale (i.e., dry skin flakes) removal vs. other facial cleansing products or a similar formulation not including the preferred betaine. Therefore, a tri-component surfactant system of three surfactants employed in this invention (AGS, Lexaine LM, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate) is highly desirable for the mousse of the present invention. The ratios of AGS to co-surfactant are variable from 1:1 to 5:1, preferably 2:1 to 4:1. Also, three component mixtures of AGS/Lexaine LM I sarcosinate are believed desirable. Other amphoterics of the betaine class are usable, i.e., cocamidopropyl betaine, cetyl betaine or sultaines. Mixtures of ethoxylated alkyl sulfate and alkyl amine oxides have been found within certain ratios to provide mild surfactancy. A mole fraction of 0.5-1.0 amine oxide to alkyl sulfate is particularly mild as reported by K. Miyazawa et al., in The International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Vol. 6, to984), pp. 33-46. Other chain lengths (C10-Cl8) of any of the above mild surfactants or co-surfactants such as sodium myristoyl sarcosinate, etc., are also usable in this invention. Salts other than the sodium salt such as K-AGS and chain length distributions other than 90/10 coconutitallow are usable. The Polymeric Skin Feel Aids The polymeric skin feel aids useful in the present invention are the cationic and the nonionic polymers used in the cosmetic field. Reduced skin irritation benefits of both types of polymers are set out in "Polymer JR for Skin Care" Bulletin, by Union Carbide, 1977. The cationics are preferred over the nonionic because they provide better skin feel benefits. Examples of the cationic polymers and the nonionic polymers useful in the present invention are set out below. The amount of polymeric skin feel aid found useful in the concentrate is from about 0.05% to about 5%, preferably from about 0.1% to about 2%, and more preferably 0.1% to 1.0%. In order to achieve superior after washing skin feel for this mousse, i.e., leaving the skin feeling less taut/more moisturized, softer and smoother, it was discovered that a combination of a high level of moisturizer (10-60% in the concentrate) and a selected polymeric ingredient, e.g., cationic (quaternized) guar gum (e.g., Jaguar C-14-S), is required. Other -types of high molecular weight polymeric skin feel agents, such as nonionic guar gums, Merquats 100 and 550, made by Merck ± Co., Inc; UCARE Polymer JR-400, made by Union Carbide Corp.; Mirapol A15 made by Miranol Chemical Company, Inc.; and Galactasol 811, made by Henkel, Inc.; plus others, are usable. The polymer also provides enhanced creamy foam benefits. The non ionic polymers found to be useful include the nonionic polysaccharides, e.g., nonionic hydroxypropyl guar gums, offered by Celanese Water Soluble Polymers, a Division of Celanese Corp. A preferred nonionic hydroxypropyl guar gum material is JaauarR HP-60 having molar substitution of about 0.6. Another class of useful nonionics is the cellulosic nonionic polymers, e.g., HEC and CMC. The cationic polymers employed in this invention also provide a desirable silky, soft, smooth in-use feeling. The preferred level for this invention is 0.1-1% of the concentrate. While not being bound ta any theory, it is believed that cationic polymers chemically interact with the anionic surfactants (e.g., AGS and sarcosinates) to form complexes which may enhance the mildness to skin characteristics of the already mild surfactants. Also, there is reason to believe that the positively charged cationic polymers can bond with negatively charged sites on the skin to provide a soft skin feel after use. Not to be bound by any theory, it is believed that the greater the charge density of the cationic polymer, the more effective it is for skin feel benefits. One preferred cationic polymer is a cationically substituted galactomannan gum. The gum occurs naturally as guar gum, the principal component of the seed of the guar plant, cyamopsis tetragonalobus. The guar molecule is essentially a straight chain man nan branched at quite regular intervals with single membered galactose units on alternative mannose units. The mannose units are linked to each other by means of beta (1-4) glycosidic link- ages. The galactose branching is accomplished through an alpha (1-6) linkage. The cationic derivatives are obtained by reaction between the hydroxyl groups of the polygalactomannan and reactive quaternary ammonium compounds. The degree of substitution "n" of the cationic groups is .11 to .22. The general formula for this cationic polymer is: EMI10.1 where R represents guar gum. An example of a suitable quaternary ammonium derivative is hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium guar gum of the formula: EMI10.2 Such a material is available commercially from Celanese Water Soluble Polymers, a Division of Celanese Corp., Clifton, New Jersey 07012, under the trade name JAGUARR C-14-S. This material also has the CTFA designation Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride. Another suitable material is that known as JAGUAR C-17 which is similar to JAGUAR C-14-S, but has a higher degree of substitution of cationic groups. A further example of a suitable guar derivative is the hydroxypropylated cationic guar derivative known as JAGUAR C-16 which, as well as containing the above cationic quaternary ammonium groups, also contains hydroxypropyl (-CH2CH (OH) CH3) substituent groups. JAGUAR C-16 has a degree of substitution of the hydroxypropyl groups being 0.8 - 1.1. Other suitable cationic polymers are copolymers of dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate and acrylamide and copolymers of dimethyldiallylammonium chloride and acrylamide in which the ratio of the cationic to neutral monomer units has been selected give a copolymer having a cationic charge. A more complete list of cationic polymers useful in the present invention is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,438,095, to Grollier/Allec, issued Mar. 20, 1984, incorporated herein by reference. Some of the more preferred cationics are listed in Col. 3, section 2; Col. 5, section 8; Col. 8, section 10; and Col. 9, lines 10-15 of the Grollier/Allec patent, incorporated herein by reference. The Propellant The propellants used in the compositions of the present invention are conventional materials, e.g., hydrocarbon and hydrocarbon mixtures, e.g., the mixture of butane, isobutane and propane, known commercially as Propellant A46, made by Phillips Chemical Co., a subsidiary of Phillips Petroleum Company, ethers and halohydrocarbons such as dimethyl ether or dichlorodifluoromethane (i 2) alone or mixtures thereof with dichorotetra- fluoroethane (114). Mixtures of hydrocarbon and halohydrocarbon propellants and nitrous oxide may also be used. The quantity of propellant used will generally be in the range of 3-1296 by weight of the total emulsion. Preferred is 4-1096 propellant. Other Ingredients It is preferred that the cleansing product be formulated to provide a pH in use within the range of from about 5 to about 6, depending upon the particular surfactant or materials employed. Any of a large number of known substances can be used to adjust the pH of the liquid cleansing product, e.g., sodium hydroxide to raise the pH, citric acid to lower the pH, generally at a level of up to about 0.5% of the concentrate. Emulsifiers may be added to the formula to improve the phase stability of the concentrate; however, they are not necessary for a stable aerosol product that would be shaken before use -- any slight phase separation is readily mixed into a homogeneous solution with only slight agitation. Emulsifiers either alone or in combination with other formula ingredients, should be mild so as not to adversely affect the mildness of the total formula. Soaps, which are good emulsifiers, are acceptable at a level of 0.1-5% of the concentrate. An emulsifier such as PEG-600 is useful in the present invention at a level of 2-696 of the concentrate. Other emulsifiers can be selected from the group consisting of polyethoxylated C8 - C22 fatty acids having less than about 30 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of fatty acid, ethoxylated esters, unethoxylated sugar esters, polyoxyethylene fatty ether phosphates, fatty acid amides, phospholipids, polypropoxylated fatty ethers, acyl lactylates, polyethoxylated poly (oxypropylene) glycols, polypropoxylated poly (oxyethylene) glycols, poly (oxyethylene) poly (oxypropylene) ethylene diamines, and mixtures thereof. Examples of such emulsifiers include polyoxyethylene (8) stearate, myristyl ethoxy (3) palmitate, methyl glucoside sesquistearate, sucrose di stea rate, sucrose laurate, sorbitan monolaureate, polyoxyethylene (3) oleyl ether phosphate, polyoxyethylene (10) oleyl ether phosphate, lauric diethanolamide, stearic monoethanolamide, lecithin, lanolin alcohol propoxylates, sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate, calcium stearoyl-2-lactylate and the Pluronics offered by BASF Wyandotte. Preferred emulsifiers are the polyethoxylated fatty acids having less than about 30 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of fatty acid, ethoxylated esters and the acyl lactylates. It is also desirable to include a rinse aid in this product such as long chain length fatty acids (stearic acid), various clays, dry flow starch, Zn/Mg/Al stearate, calcium carbonate, precipitated amorphous silica, an amphoteric betaine or sultaine, or a selected nonionic surfactant The preferred rinse aids are nonionic surfactants and fatty acids and mixtures thereof. The preferred nonionic surfactant rinse aid is a water-soluble polyoxyethylene derivative of a hydrophobic base, said derivative being a member of the group consisting of: a. The reaction products of 9-20 carbon atom fatty acid monoesters of aliphatic polyhydric alcohols, which polyhydric alcohols contain at least 3 hydroxyls, with at least 10 moles of ethylene oxide; b. The reaction products of 9-20 carbon atom alcohols, acids and mercaptans with at least two-thirds as many ethylene oxide units as the number of carbon atoms in the hydrophobic base, such as AE12 and C1oElo ethoxy lated anionics; c. The reaction products of 12-24 carbon atoms alkyl phenols and alkylcyclohexanols with at least as many ethylene oxide units as the number of carbon atoms in the hydrophobic base; and d. Block copolymers of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide having the formula: EMI13.1 wherein a is an integer greater than seven, b is an integer from about five to about 20, and c is an integer, all such that (a plus c) is at least equal to b and is preferably at least twice b. This latter condition on the structure of useful block copolymers is designed to include only those which are sufficiently hydrophilic to give adequate stable foam. The useful block copolymers should also have a molecular weight from about 1 ,000 to about 20,000. A preferred non ionic surfactant is polysorbate-20 (Tween 20 made by ICI Americas, Inc.) which can be used in the mousse product of the present invention at a level of 1-10%, more preferably 3-8% of the concentrate. Long chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, preferably stearic acid, can be used as a rinse aid in the mousse products of the present invention at a level of 0.25% to 10%, preferably 0.5% to 5% of the concentrate. Fatty alcohols, C10-C18, preferably myristyl alcohol at a level of 0.05% to 5% of the concentrate, more preferably at about 0.1% can be used in the present invention. Perfumes may be used in the cleansing products, generally at a level of about 0.18 to about 18 of the concentrate. Color--.nt- may also be used. Opacifiers, e.g., ethylene glycol distearate polystyrene latex, generally at a level of about 0.2% of Shf concentrate, may also be used to provide the mousse with ar opaque or pearlescent appearance. Preservatives, e.g., EDTA. methyl paraben, propyl paraben, Germall 115, Kathon, general at a level of less than 1% of the concentrate, may be incorporaie in the emulsion to prevent microbiological growth.
