Sensation modifying topical composition foam

A topical composition, comprising:

• a foamable base composition comprising a sensation modifying agent and coal tar, wherein the base composition is an oil in water emulsion comprising a hydrophobic phase that is present in the base composition at a concentration of at least about 5%;
• and
• a hydrocarbon propellant,
• wherein the weight ratio of the foamable base composition to the hydrocarbon propellant ranges from about 100:3 to about 100:25;
• wherein the foamable base composition is visually stable following centrifugation at 1,000 rpm for 10 minutes;
• wherein the topical composition is stored in a pressurized container and upon release expands to form a non-crackling short term stable foam;
• wherein the foam produces at least one sensation at the delivery site upon dispensing from an aerosol container for a period of at least about 5 minutes;
• and
• wherein the prolonged sensation is not primarily due to the propellant or an exothermic reaction.

A method of treating, alleviating or preventing a disorder, comprising:

• administering topically to a surface having the disorder, a foamed composition comprising:
• a. a foamable base composition comprising
• i. a carrier composition;
• ii. about 2% to about 20% by weight coal tar extract;
• and
• iii. at least one sensation or sensation modifying agent, comprising a cooling agent, a warming agent, a relaxing or soothing agent;
• a stimulating or refreshing agent;
• or any mixtures thereof;
• and
• b. a hydrocarbon propellant;
• wherein the weight ratio of the foamable base composition to the hydrocarbon propellant ranges from about 100:3 to about 100:25;
• wherein the foamable base composition is visually stable following centrifugation at 1,000 rpm for 10 minutes;
• wherein the composition is stored in a pressurized container and upon release expands to form a non-crackling short term stable foam;
• wherein the foam produces at least one sensation at the delivery site upon dispensing from an aerosol container for a period of at least about 5 minutes;
• and
• wherein the prolonged sensation is not primarily due to the propellant or an exothermic reaction.
