Patent ID: 8518378

Claim:
An oleaginous foamable therapeutic composition, comprising: a. about 70% to about 96.5% of a solvent phase, wherein the solvent phase is selected from the group consisting of a hydrophobic solvent, a silicone oil, and mixtures thereof; b. at least one non-ionic surface-active agent at a concentration of about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the total composition; c. at least one gelling agent at a concentration of about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of the total composition; d. at least one active agent; e. at least one potent solvent selected from the group consisting of a hydrophobic solvent other than mineral oil; a co-solvent; an emollient; and mixtures thereof, wherein the potent solvent solubilizes the active agent substantially better than mineral oil solubilizes the active agent; and f. at least one liquefied or compressed gas propellant, wherein the composition forms a thermally stable breakable foam upon release from a pressurized container that collapses upon application of shear force; and wherein the water content of the composition is less than about 30% by weight.
