The foam includes from about 0.5 g to about 4 g of a detersive surfactant; from about 0.001 g to about 4 g propellant; a foam density of from about 0.04 g/cm3 to about 0.23 g/cm3; and a bubble size distribution having an R32 of from about 30 μm to about 60 μm.
Claims9
A dosage of foam shampoo comprising a volume of from about 5 cm3 to about 150 cm3 of the foam, wherein the foam comprises:
- a) a detersive surfactant system comprising:

- b) from about 0.0035 g to about 0.7 g of a particulate selected from the group consisting of zinc pyrithione, zinc carbonate, ethylene glycol distearate, mica, titanium dioxide, and combinations thereof;
- and
- c) from about 45 wt. % to about 78 wt. % water;
- wherein:
- 1) the foam has a foam density of from about 0.04 g/cm3 to about 0.23 g/cm3;
- and
- 2) the foam has a plurality of bubbles comprising a bubble size distribution having a Sauter mean radius R32 of from about 10 μm to about 60 μm as measured according to the Kruss Lather Analyzer Method.
