Patent ID: 8158109

Claim:
An aqueous foamable suspension gel in a pressurized container, comprising: an aqueous phase comprising water; from about 1% to about 25% by weight based on the total weight of the gel of benzoyl peroxide as the sole active agent present having an average diameter of about 10 to about 100 μm suspended in the aqueous phase; a thickening agent in an amount sufficient to result in the foamable suspension gel having a viscosity of about 5,000 to about 15,000 cP at 25° C.; and an aerosol propellant; wherein the foamable suspension gel comprises at least 30% by weight based on the total weight of the gel of water and is alcohol-free and oil-free, and wherein the foamable suspension gel forms a homogenous foam when dispensed from the pressurized container.
