Nonlathering cleansing mousse with skin conditioning benefits

A mousse-forming pressurized aerosol skin cleansing composition comprising:

• A. from about 95% to about 99.5% of a concentrate, containing by weight of the concentrate:
• 1. from about 1.5% to about 15% of one or more nonionic surfactants selected from the group consisting of ethoxylated nonionic surfactants, partially or wholly esterified polyols and mixtures thereof, said surfactant or mixture of surfactants having an HLB of from about 7 to about 18;
• 2. from about 0.2% to about 5% of a C.sub.12 -C.sub.22 saturated, straight chain fatty alcohol;
• 3. from about 5% to about 35% of an emollient which is a water-insoluble oily or waxy material other than C.sub.12 -C.sub.22 saturated, straight chain fatty alcohol;
• 4. from about 5% to about 20% of hygroscopic skin moisturizer;
• 5. the balance water;
• the weight ratio of surfactant:emollient plus C.sub.12 -C.sub.22 saturated, straight chain fatty alcohol being from about 0.1:1 to about 0.5:1;
• and
• B. from about 0.5% to about 5% propellant gas, by weight of the total composition, the said propellant gas being selected from gases having a solubility in water of from about 15 ml to about 1000 ml per liter at one atmosphere pressure and 21.1.degree. C., and having a vapor pressure equal to or greater than 8788 g per sq. cm. gauge at 21.1.degree. C., said composition being substantially free of anionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, nonionic amine oxides and fatty amides which would give the mousse a foaming consistency, and water-insoluble propellants and said composition being contained in a pressurized aerosol dispenser.
