High alcohol content aerosol antimicrobial mousse

A high alcohol content aerosol antimicrobial mousse composition comprising:

• (I) an intermediate concentrate having
• (a) from about 52%-75% by weight of the intermediate concentrate of ethanol, isopropanol or mixtures thereof;
• (b) from about 0.1%-1.5% by weight of the intermediate concentrate of a water-dispersible polymeric gelling agent;
• (c) from about 1% to 15% by weight of the intermediate concentrate of an amphiphilic nonionic stabilizer consisting essentially of
• (i) from about 0.5%-5.0% of the intermediate concentrate of at least one alcohol of the formula ROH where R is a hydrocarbon group having from 16 to 22 carbons;
• and
• (ii) from about 0.5%-10% by weight of the intermediate concentrate of at least one nonionic surfactant of the formula R'O(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.x H where R' is a hydrocarbon group having from 16 to 22 carbon atoms and x has an average value of from 1 to 21;
• wherein the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of the combination of (i) and (ii) is from about 4.5 to 8.0;
• (d) from about 0.1% to 10% by weight of a cationic skin conditioning agent selected from the group consisting of a diquaternized tallow imidazoline methosulfate, a triquaternized stearic-phospholipid complex and a hydroxy stearamide propyltriammonium salt;
• and
• (e) the balance consisting essentially of water in an amount at least about 20% by weight of the intermediate concentrate;
• and
• wherein the intermediate concentrate (I) is from about 85%-98% of the total aerosol mousse composition and the propellant (II) is from abut 2%-15% of the total aerosol mousse composition.
