Abstract
Described herein is a dosage of foam including from about 7.5 cm3 to about 70 cm3 of the foam. The foam includes (a) from about 0.5 g to about 4 g of a detersive surfactant; (b) from about 0.001 g to about 4 g propellant; (c) a foam density of from about 0.05 g/cm3 to about 0.35 g/cm3; (d) a bubble size distribution having an R32 of from about 5 μm to about 100 μm; and (e) a β value of from about 0.0075 g/cm3 to about 0.1575 g/cm3.
Claims18
A dosage of foam comprising a volume of from about 7.5 cm3 to about 70 cm3 of the foam, wherein the foam comprises:
- a) a detersive surfactant system comprising:
- i) from about 15 wt. % to about 30 wt. % anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of sodium undecyl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauroyl isethionate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium laurethsulfosuccinate, sodium laurylsulfosuccinate, and mixtures thereof:
- ii) from about 2 wt. % to about 12 wt % zwitterionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of lauramidopropyl betaine, cocoamidopropyl betaine, lauryl hydroxysultaine, and mixtures thereof;
- b) from about 0.00005 g to about 0.25 g of a cationic deposition polymer by weight of the foam;
- and
- c) from about 45 wt. % to about 78 wt. % water;
- wherein:
- 1) the foam has a foam density of from about 0.05 g/cm3 to about 0.35 g/cm3;
- 2) the foam has a plurality of bubbles comprising a bubble size distribution having a Sauter mean radius R32 of from about 5 μm to about 100 μm;
- and
- 3) the foam has a β value of from about 0.0075 g/cm3 to about 0.1575 g/cm3.
