Claim:
An alcoholic foamable composition comprising: a) 52 to 99 wt. %, relative to the total quantity of the foamable composition, of an alcohol or mixture of alcohols of formula R—OH wherein R denotes an aliphatic straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms; b) 0.5 to 20 wt. %, relative to the total quantity of the foamable composition, of at least one silicone surfactant selected from the group consisting of methylphenylpolysiloxanes, cyclic silicones, bis-PEG/PPG-20/20 dimethicone, PEG/PPG-14/4 dimethicone, PEG/PPG-4/12 dimethicone, PEG/PPG-20/20 dimethicone, and PEG/PPG-20/6 dimethicone, wherein said at least one silicone surfactant is not fluorinated and the surface tension of said at least one silicone surfactant lies within the range of ±15 dyn/cm of the surface tension of component (a); c) 0.01 to 3 wt. %, relative to the total quantity of the foamable composition, of at least one polyalkylene glycol; d) optionally, 0.01 to 20 wt. %, relative to the total quantity of the foamable composition, of at least one foam stabilizer; e) optionally, at least one member selected from the group consisting of cosmetic auxiliaries, adjuvants, active ingredients, and mixtures thereof; and f) optionally, water; wherein said alcoholic foamable composition is in the form of a pump-foam formulation before it is foamed, said pump-foam formulation being capable of forming a stabilized pump-foam.
