Alcoholic pump foam
First Claim
1. 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.

Abstract
An alcoholic foam composition, which can be dispensed as a foam via a pump-foam system contains a) at least 52 to ≦99 wt % of an alcohol or mixture of alcohols, b) a surfactant or a surfactant mixture, c) at least one polyalkylene glycol, d) optionally, 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. The surface tension of component b) lies in the range of ±15 dyn/cm of the surface tension of component a) or corresponds to the surface tension of component a), and the sum of components a) to f) is 100 wt % relative to the total quantity of the foam composition.
