Colored or colorable foamable composition and foam

A method of changing the color of a colored or colorable topical composition, comprising:

• a. selecting a color agent, a flowable carrier composition a propellant and an aerosol canister,
• b. preparing a colored foamable base composition of a first color, comprising:
• i. a flowable carrier composition;
• and
• ii. a color agent;
• wherein the agent is effective to impart, increase, decrease or otherwise affect color of a foam produced from the foamable composition;
• and
• wherein the agent is one or more agents selected from the group consisting of a colored active agent, a colored excipient, a pigment, a dye, a colorant and a coloring agent,
• c. filling the foamable base composition in the aerosol container, closing the container having an aerosol valve, adding a propellant at a concentration of about 3% to about 25% by weight of the total composition, and
• d. opening the aerosol valve to release foam of a second color
• wherein the first color and the second color are visually different.

A method of treating a disorder of a mammalian subject to achieve an improved compliance, comprising:

• administering a colored or colorable topical composition to a target site, the colored topical composition, comprising:
• a. a foamable base composition comprising
• i. a flowable carrier composition;
• ii. a color agent
• i. wherein the color agent is effective to impart, increase, decrease or otherwise affect color of a foam produced from the foamable composition;
• and
• ii. wherein the color agent is one or more agents selected from the group consisting of a colored active agent, a colored indicator, a colored excipient, a pigment, a dye, a colorant and a coloring agent and;
• iii. wherein the color agent comprises at least an effective amount of active agent;
• b. a propellant at a concentration of about 3% to about 25% by weight of the total composition,
• wherein the base composition has a first color;
• and
• wherein the colored topical composition has a second color after it has been dispensed form an aerosol container, and
• wherein the first color and the second color are visually different.

A kit for topical application comprising a colored or colorable topical composition comprising:

• a. foamable base composition, comprising:
• i. a flowable carrier composition;
• ii. a color agent;
• 1. wherein the color agent is in effective amount to effective to impart, increase, decrease or otherwise affect color of a foam produced from the foamable composition and
• 2. wherein the color agent is one or more agents selected from the group consisting of a colored active agent, a colored excipient, a pigment, a dye, a colorant and a coloring agent.
• b. a propellant at a concentration of about 3% to about 25% by weight of the total composition, and
• c. an aerosol canister containing the base composition and propellant
• wherein the base composition has a first color;
• and
• wherein the foam comprising the colored topical composition has a second color upon dispensing form an aerosol container, and
• wherein the first color and the second color are visually different.

Use of a colored or colorable topical composition as a diagnostic, comprising:

• a. a foamable base composition comprising
• i. a flowable carrier composition;
• ii. a color agent;
• wherein the color agent is effective to impart, increase, decrease or otherwise affect color of a foam produced from the foamable composition;
• and
• wherein the color agent comprises a color indicator and optionally one or more agents selected from the group consisting of a colored active agent, a colored excipient, a pigment, a dye, a colorant and a coloring agent.
• b. a propellant at a concentration of about 3% to about 25% by weight of the total composition,
• wherein the base composition has a first color;
• and
• wherein the foam comprising the colored or colorable topical composition has a second color upon dispensing from an aerosol container, and
• wherein the first color and the second color are visually different
• c. applying the foam to a target surface,
• wherein the second color will change to a third color upon exposure to a parameter on or in the target surface to which the indictor is responsive, and wherein the first color, the second color and the third color are each visually different.
