Definitions

• the present disclosure relates to formulations for a gritty foam dispenser.
• Lotion soaps are generally dispensed from soap dispenser pumps or pump top bottles. Lotion soaps with mechanical scrubbers are also dispensed through similar devices. Foaming soaps are dispensed from special pumps that mix air and liquid together through a porous media to produce foam.
• Hand cleansers have been around for many years.
• the combination of ingredients in these types of soaps can be specified to achieve a broad range of cleaning characteristics.
• the viscosity of this form of soap is in the range of 5,000 to 30,000 cPoise and is generally tailored to be easily manipulated in the user's hand or pumped through a pump.
• Lotion soaps with suspended mechanical scrubbers tend to have a viscosity range at the low end that is higher than that of basic lotion soaps.
• formulations must also have a critical strain force (or yield value) superior or equal to 30 dynes / cm 2 associated or not to non-Newtonian rheological behaviour, and more particularly plastic or thixotropic properties
• the rheology of this form of soap must be viscoplastic (Casson, or Bingham, or dilatant, or thixotropic, or rheopectic fluids) with a critical strain force which is preferably greater than or equal to 30 dynes/cm 2 .
• the critical strain force is defined as that stress which must be applied before flow will start and, although related to viscosity, it is more dependent on the characteristics of the rheological additive used.
• the critical strain force has traditionally been determined by measuring the viscosity of the material at two speeds using a Brookfie!d Viscometer. As the speed of rotation of the spindle is increased materials that undergo shear thinning give a lower viscosity measurement
• the soap's critical strain force or the required yieid value may be calculated as follows;
• Foaming hand cleansers offer many benefits over lotion hand cleansers. Foam products are quicker and easier to use since they are delivered into the user's hand in a lathered format. Foam hand cleansers spread more effectively than lotion hand cleansers, providing better cleaning performance with less product. Since foaming hand cleansers are already lathered, there is less water needed in the cleaning process and the user can clean their hands in less time.
• the viscosity range of this form of hand cleanser is less than 100 cPoise and is tailored to be easily mixed with air through a porous media to produce foam from a pump.
• foam soaps are such that they are not capable of suspending mechanical scrubbers of sufficient size to provide cleaning benefits.
• Current foam pump technologies mix air and liquid together and pass them through a porous media to make the foam.
• the porous media is generally very fine and would sieve out mechanical scrubbers.
• a hand cleanser could be formulated that can suspend particulate mechanical scrubbers with particles sized from about 100 microns to about 800 microns that decreases in viscosity when exposed to high shear rates and is capable of being foamed through a non- aerosol, or unpressurized pump dispenser.
• Prior art does not capture the requirement of the formulation to generate foam when mixed and dispensed with air from a non-aerosol dispenser.
• the assumption from the prior art is since it is soap, it will naturally foam. While this may be true if mechanical manipulation is done (rubbing in the hand), if the formulation does not have the desired characteristics, it will not create an acceptable foam through a non aerosol pump.
• An embodiment of a foamable gritty composition comprises constituents including a solvent present in a range from about 0.5% w/w to about 30.0% w/w, in which the solvent includes any one or combination of D'limonene and sunflower oil methyl ester.
• the formulations include a particulate scrubbing agent present in a range from about 1 ,0% w/w to about 8% w/w.
• a surfactant present in a range from about 0.5% w/w to about 30.0% w/w
• skin conditioner present in a range from 0.01% w/w to about 5.00% w/w
• a non- Newtonian thickening agent present in a range from about 0.05% w/w to about 10% w/w, and wafer.
• the non-Newtonian thickening agent is selected to give the foamable gritty formulation a critical strain force greater than or equal to about 30 dynes/cm 2 , and a viscosity in a range from about 500 cPoise to about 4000 cPoise such that the foamable gritty composition is dispensible as a foam from a non-aerosol foam dispenser.
• the present disclosure also provides a method of producing and dispensing a gritty foam, the method comprising;
• a foamable gritty composition from an unpressurized container having a dispenser pump configured to mix air with the foamable gritty composition under low pressure conditions during dispensing to form a gritty foam, the foamable gritty composition comprising
• a particulate scrubbing agent present in a range from about 1 ,0% w/w to about 8% w/w;
• a surfactant present in a range from about 0,5% w/w to about 30.0% w/w;
• skin conditioner present in a range from 0.01% w/w to about 5.00% w/w;
• a non-Newtonian thickening agent present in a range from about 0.05% w/w to about 10% w/w;
• the non-Newtonian thickening agent is selected to give the foamable gritty composition a critical strain force greater than or equal to about 30 dynes/cm 2 , and a viscosity in a range from about 500 cPoise to about 4000 cPoise such that said foamable gritty composition is dispensible as a foam from a an unpressurized foam dispenser.
• Table 1 shows a broad class of constituents that can be used to produce formulations for a gritty foam dispenser in accordance with the present invention
• Table 2 shows an exemplary formulation.
• the terms, “comprises” and “comprising” are to be construed as being inclusive and open ended, and not exclusive. Specifically, when used in this specification including claims, the terms, “comprises” and “comprising” and variations thereof mean the specified features, steps or components are included. These terms are not to be interpreted to exclude the presence of other features, steps or components.
• exemplary or “example” means “serving as an example, instance, or illustration,” and should not be construed as preferred or advantageous over other configurations disclosed herein.
• Newtonian thickening agent means a category of fluids whose viscosity (resistance to deformation or shear forces) is influenced by the shear stress and/or by the time this force is applied.
• critical strain force also referred to as “yield value” refers to a term used in rheology in which the 'critical strain force' is the minimum force that must be appiied to a material to induce viscous flow.
• the critical strain force is a measurable quantity (expressed in dynes/cm 2 ).
• both phrases are referring to the same phenomenon which is that up to a certain force exerted (the critical strain force), a visco-elastic material will exhibit "solid like” or “elastic” properties, i.e. it will not have a net flow. Above the critical strain force (or above the “yield value”) the same material will exhibit viscous properties, i.e. it will flow.
• the beads will stay forever in suspension. If they exert a force higher than the critical strain (or yield value), then they will migrate over time, either floating to the top of the fluid or settling to the bottom.
• non-aerosol dispenser or “unpressurized dispenser” means a dispenser that does not have a stored propellant as the source of gas to create the foam structure within the hand cleanser.
• “Foam” as used herein means a liquid and a gas mixed to form a mass of small bubbles that has a structure that lasts for a variable length of time.
• low pressure in the context of producing a foam as used herein means a pressure of around an atmosphere or less such as when dispensing the foam from an unpressurized container. Typically when foams are dispensed from aerosol containers the foam is considered to be being dispensed under high "pressure" conditions.
• the present disclosure provides a skin cleanser, which is a foamable gritty composition that can suspend mechanical scrubber particles having a size in the range from about 100 to about 800 microns that decreases in viscosity when exposed to high shear rates and is capable of being foamed through a non-aerosol (unpressurized) pump.
• particulate scrubbing agents are present.
• the fluid must be capable of becoming aerated and second it must be capable of stabilising the entrained air bubbles divided by fluid films.
• the presence of surfactants in a suitable concentration broadly satisfies the second of these requirements by providing a means of stabilising fluid films by setting up a surface tension gradient that acts to oppose draining forces and hence maintains the thickness of the films, avoiding collapse.
• the solvent can include aqueous (water) and non-aqueous components.
• the non-aqueous solvent is one or both of D-limonene and sunflower oil methyl ester.
• Other optional solvents that can be added include any one or combination of glycol ethers, esters, alcohols, terpenes other than D'Limonene, aromatic-free white spirit.

• the method involves introducing a predetermined quantity of air under pressure to a first side of a microporous air sparging element located upstream from an outlet while introducing, concurrently with the introduction of the air, a predetermined amount of the foamable gritty composition under pressure to a foamable gritty composition inlet of a mixing chamber located on a second side of the microporous air sparging element and located upstream from the outlet, such that a ratio of air to foamable gritty composition has a greater proportion of air to foamable gritty composition.
• the method involves forcing the air through the microporous sparging element into the mixing chamber to form a plurality of bubbles and mixing the plurality of bubbles and the foamable gritty composition in the mixing chamber thereby creating a gritty foam and dispensing the gritty foam to a user in shots through the outlet from the mixing chamber.
• the air may be introduced in a predetermined quantity and the foamable gritty composition may be introduced in a predetermined quantity
