1. A foamable composition comprising:
- a) about 15% to about 60% by weight of a short chain alcohol;
b) a cellulose based polymer;
c) about 0.1% to about 15% by weight of at least one fatty alcohol;
d) a hydrophilic solvent;
e) at least one active agent; and
f) a liquefied or compressed gas propellant at a concentration of about 3% to about 30% by weight of the total foamable composition,wherein the percent by weight is based on the weight of foamable composition other than propellant;
wherein the foamable composition comprises 0.1% or less by weight of a surfactant;
wherein the ratio range of the foamable composition other than propellant to propellant is from about 100;
3 to about 100;
30; and
wherein upon dispensing the foamable composition forms a foam having a collapse time about or more than 60 seconds at 36°

Abstract
A substantially surface active agent-free foamable composition which includes short-chain alcohol, water, polymer, fatty alcohol or fatty acid or a combination of fatty alcohol and fatty acid and propellant. A substantially surface active agent-free foamable composition which includes, water, polymer, fatty alcohol or fatty acid and propellant. A method of treatment using a substantially surface active agent-free foamable compositions.

22. A foamable composition comprising:
-
1) about 15% to about 60% by weight of a short chain alcohol; 2) a cellulose based polymer; 3) about 1% to about 15% by weight of at least one fatty alcohol or at least one fatty acid or a combination thereof; 4) about 2% to about 50% by weight of a hydrophilic solvent; 5) a liquefied or compressed gas propellant; 6) about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of an active agent; and 7) optionally a pH modifying agent, a chelating agent or a combination thereof; wherein the composition contains 0.1% or less by weight of a surfactant or is essentially surfactant free; wherein if the composition comprises two fatty alcohols, the ratio between the two fatty alcohols is between about 11;
5 and about 5;
11;wherein the percent by weight is based on the weight of foamable composition other than propellant; and wherein the ratio of composition other than propellant to propellant ranges from about 100;
3 to about 100;
