Definitions

  • This invention relates to mousse compositions, products and methods for delivery to the skin, hair and/or mucosa of animals, including particularly humans.
  • an essential component is the propellant which is used to dispense the liquid concentrate from a container and onto the skin, hair and/or mucosa of the individual being treated.
  • the liquid concentrate portion of the formulation is typically first filled into the container, such as a can, which is sealed with a valve cup and then the propellant is introduced via pressure filling. It is also possible to prepare the container using under-the-cup filling where the propellant is filled and the valve cup sealed in one step.
  • compressed gases are nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc., which remain as gases in the pressurized container. Depending on the type of liquid concentrate used, they can be partially solubilized in the liquid concentrate. The pressure that results from such a product can be controlled by the amount of propellant that is solubilized in the liquid concentrate and what is left in the head space.
  • compressed gases are not widely used in personal care products since the pressure drops over the life of the can when it is being used resulting in different spray characteristics, lower spray rates and poorer foam quality over the useful life of the product. Such characteristics are considered generally undesirable from a consumer satisfaction standpoint.
  • LGs are gases under normal temperature and pressure but become liquids under pressure above atmospheric.
  • the advantage of using LGs is that, if properly designed, they can maintain a constant pressure throughout the life of the product in the can by converting from a liquid state to a gaseous state as the product in the can is dispensed for use by the consumer. This provides the user with a product that does not vary too much in its properties from one use to the next, which is desirable from a consumer satisfaction standpoint.
  • hydrocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons, and dimethylether have been commonly used as LGs. Fluorocarbons were the most widely used propellants up until the mid 1970's when their use was restricted because of concerns about damage to the ozone layer. Hydrocarbons have become the propellant of choice for many personal care applications because they are readily available and are less expensive than hydrofluorocarbons. Hydrocarbons used in the personal care industry include mixtures of propanes and butanes, most commonly two or more of isobutane, n-butane and propane.
  • the propellant known as “A-46” is a mixture of 15.15%by weight of propane and 84.85%by weight of isobutane. The designation A-46 reflects that the blend has a vapor pressure of 46 psig at 70°F.
  • HFC-152A One of the most commonly used hydrofluorocarbon propellants is HFC-152A, which has a vapor pressure of 62 psig at 70°F.
  • Formulation parameters that applicants consider to be important to the success of a mousse product, and which are influence by the propellant which is used to dispense and form the mousse include: (1) the initial stability of the foam dispensed, which represents the shape and surface properties of the foam; (2) the density of the foam which is produced, which influences the weight of the ingredients that are dispensed with each use; (3) the gloss of the foam; (4) the spreadability of the foam; and (5) the dispensing characteristics of the foam.
  • trans-1234ze trans-1, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropene
  • Applicants have also found that the use of certain surface reducing components in the mousse formulations, methods and devices enable the formation of the mousse foam at desired volume levels with unexpectedly low levels of the surface reducing components in the formulation. Additionally, it is possible to use these same surfactants to produce mousse formulation of unexpectedly high density, which has the desirably advantage of being able to deliver higher levels of cleansing surfactant to the user for a given dosage of the mousse foam.

Description

Mousse Products, Methods and Devices
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application relates to and claims the priority benefit of U.S. Provisional application 62/822,505, filed March 22, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to mousse compositions, products and methods for delivery to the skin, hair and/or mucosa of animals, including particularly humans.
BACKGROUND
Various aerosol and non-aerosol foams for the delivery of cosmetic, cleansing, and/or pharmaceutical components to the skin, hair and/or mucosa of animals are known in the prior art. In particular, formulations which upon dispensing produce a substantially homogeneous, expanding/expandable foam that breaks easily with shear are known in the art as “mousse” formulations or products.
In the formulation of foaming aerosol products, including mousses, an essential component is the propellant which is used to dispense the liquid concentrate from a container and onto the skin, hair and/or mucosa of the individual being treated. In manufacturing, the liquid concentrate portion of the formulation is typically first filled into the container, such as a can, which is sealed with a valve cup and then the propellant is introduced via pressure filling. It is also possible to prepare the container using under-the-cup filling where the propellant is filled and the valve cup sealed in one step.
One type of propellant that has been heretofore commonly used in the formulation of personal care products are compressed gases. Examples of compressed gases are nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc., which remain as gases in the pressurized container. Depending on the type of liquid concentrate used, they can be partially solubilized in the liquid concentrate. The pressure that results from such a product can be controlled by the amount of propellant that is solubilized in the liquid concentrate and what is left in the head space. However, compressed gases are not widely used in  personal care products since the pressure drops over the life of the can when it is being used resulting in different spray characteristics, lower spray rates and poorer foam quality over the useful life of the product. Such characteristics are considered generally undesirable from a consumer satisfaction standpoint.
Another type of propellant that has been heretofore commonly used in the formulation of personal care products are liquefied gas propellants or LGs. LGs are gases under normal temperature and pressure but become liquids under pressure above atmospheric. The advantage of using LGs is that, if properly designed, they can maintain a constant pressure throughout the life of the product in the can by converting from a liquid state to a gaseous state as the product in the can is dispensed for use by the consumer. This provides the user with a product that does not vary too much in its properties from one use to the next, which is desirable from a consumer satisfaction standpoint.
Certain hydrocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons, and dimethylether, have been commonly used as LGs. Fluorocarbons were the most widely used propellants up until the mid 1970's when their use was restricted because of concerns about damage to the ozone layer. Hydrocarbons have become the propellant of choice for many personal care applications because they are readily available and are less expensive than hydrofluorocarbons. Hydrocarbons used in the personal care industry include mixtures of propanes and butanes, most commonly two or more of isobutane, n-butane and propane. For example, the propellant known as “A-46” is a mixture of 15.15%by weight of propane and 84.85%by weight of isobutane. The designation A-46 reflects that the blend has a vapor pressure of 46 psig at 70°F.
One of the most commonly used hydrofluorocarbon propellants is HFC-152A, which has a vapor pressure of 62 psig at 70°F.
In the formulation of mousse products, applicants have come to appreciate that the choice and amount of propellant used can play a major role in the quality of the foam produced. Formulation parameters that applicants consider to be important to the success of a mousse product, and which are influence by the propellant which is used to dispense and form the mousse, include: (1) the initial stability of the foam dispensed,  which represents the shape and surface properties of the foam; (2) the density of the foam which is produced, which influences the weight of the ingredients that are dispensed with each use; (3) the gloss of the foam; (4) the spreadability of the foam; and (5) the dispensing characteristics of the foam. In addition to the above, environmental concerns influence the success of a propellant for use in the formulation of mousse products since the propellant is generally released into the atmosphere as the product is used. Those skilled in the art appreciate that it therefore is a significant challenge to formulate new propellants for mousse products which are able to simultaneously satisfy these many important requirements of the foam.
Applicants have unexpectedly found that exceptionally high quality foams can be produced using a critical range of trans-1, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropene (trans-1234ze) as the propellant and/or the use of trans-1234ze in combination within specific amounts of the hydrocarbons propane and isobutane, as explained in detail hereinafter.
Applicants have also found that the use of certain surface reducing components in the mousse formulations, methods and devices enable the formation of the mousse foam at desired volume levels with unexpectedly low levels of the surface reducing components in the formulation. Additionally, it is possible to use these same surfactants to produce mousse formulation of unexpectedly high density, which has the desirably advantage of being able to deliver higher levels of cleansing surfactant to the user for a given dosage of the mousse foam.

EXAMPLES
Comparative Examples C1A–C1C–Mousse Shampoo with 5%-10%A-46 Propellant
A mousse shampoo formulation was prepared using the ingredients and the amounts indicated in Comparative Table 1 below, with all amounts being in percentage by weight:
Comparative Table 1–Shampoo Mousse
Figure PCTCN2020080383-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2020080383-appb-000002
The formulation was formed by first adding the water into a mixing vessel. Then components 3–4 were added to the vessel sequentially in the order listed with mixing. Heat was then added while mixing to raise the temperature of the vessel contents to 70C. Mixing was continued until a clear liquid phase was formed. The contents of the vessel were then cooled to room temperature (approximately 25C) . Components 5–10 were then added sequentially in the order listed, mixing well between additions. The formulation was then charged into a can in an amount to produce a head-space in the can of about 20%based on the relative amount of the propellant to be added as described herein after. The can was then sealed. Propellant consisting of A-46 was then added to the can in an amount to produce can contents consisting of 95%by weight of the formulation of Comparative Table 1 and 5%by weight of A-46 propellant. This same experiment was then repeated but in successive experiments such that the A-46 was then added to the can in an amount to produce can contents consisting of 92.5%and 90%by weight of the formulation of Comparative Table 1 and 7.5%and 10%by weight of A-46 propellant, respectively.
The contents of the can from each experiment were then discharged by pressing the actuator for 1 second. The foam produced from each can was then evaluated and the results are reported in Table C1 below.

*-The density properties reported herein are measured by filling a 25 mL can to the rim with the foam and measuring the weight of the foam. Density is calculated by diving the measured weight by the volume of the can. A photograph of the resulting foam from each experiment is provided in Comparative Figures C1A, C1 B and C1C.
As can be seen from the table and the Figures, this shampoo mousse formulation, which is representative of shampoo mousse formulations generally, when combined with from 5%to 10%by weight of A-46 as propellant produces a foam which has gloss properties that are disadvantageous for many important applications from a consumer appearance and use standpoint.
In addition, while the initial foam shape tends to improve with increased amount of A-46 propellant, increased A-46 propellant has a significant detrimental impact on the spreadability of the foam. In particular, the Example C1C foam was tested by dispensing onto the palm of the user (see Comparative Figure C1D) , and the user then attempted to spread the formulation onto the skin (see Comparative Figures C1E and C1F) :
As revealed by the photographs above, this formulation with 10%A-46 as the propellant performed very poorly from a spreadability standpoint. In particular, the foam did not  spread evenly and resulted in large areas where the formulation was not present or only thinly present on the skin.
Example 1A–1C–Mousse Shampoo with 5%, 7.5%and 10%trans-1234ze Propellant
The same mousse shampoo formulation as described in Comparative Example C1 was prepared, combined with propellant and dispensed as in Comparative Example 1, except that the propellant used consisted of trans-1234ze. The foam produced from each can was then evaluated and the results are reported in Table 1 below.

*-The density properties reported herein are measured by filling a 25 mL can to the rim with the foam and measuring the weight of the foam. Density is calculated by diving the measured weight by the volume of the can.
A photograph of the resulting foam from each experiment is provided in Figures 1A, 1B and 1C hereof.
As can be seen from the table and Figures, the gloss and wetness properties of the foam produced with trans-1234ze as the propellant produces foam having dramatically and unexpectedly superior gloss and wetness compared to the same foam formulation using A-46.
The foam from Example 1C (10%trans-1234ze as propellant) not only had the best initial foam stability performance, this foam also had excellent spreadability performance. In particular, the Example 1C foam was tested by dispensing onto the palm of the user (see Figure 1D) , and the user was able to easily and satisfactorily spread the formulation onto the skin (see Figures 1E and 1F) .
Moreover, these examples illustrate applicants’ discovery that unexpectedly advantageous foams can be produced when the amount of trans-1234ze used as the propellant is greater than 5%, more preferably from about 7.5%to about 10%. In particular, from the standpoint of initial foam stability, the foam produced using 5%trans-1234ze produces a foam quality that is below the mid-point on this scale. In particular, the foam made with 5%trans-1234ze is relatively flat and contains surface holes and bubbles which would result it in being considered of poor quantity and shape from a consumer appearance and use standpoint compared to a puffier foam with no visible holes or surface bubbles. On the other hand, as can be seen from the Photo 1B above, the use of 7.5%by weight of trans-1234ze as propellant produces a foam of a greatly and unexpectedly improved stability relative to foam produced in Example 1A. In particular, the foam produced by Example 1 B with 7.5%of trans-1234ze is higher (i.e., not as flat) and has fewer surface holes and bubbles and as such would be considered of a superior quantity and shape from a consumer appearance and use standpoint than the foam of Example 1A. Further, as can be seen from the Figure 1C, the use of 10%by weight of trans-1234zeas a propellant produces a foam of a greatly and unexpectedly improved initial stability relative to foam produced in Example 1A. In particular, the foam produced by Example 1C with 10%of trans-1234ze is higher and more dome-shaped (i.e., not as flat) as the foams produced with 5%and 7.5%of trans- 1234ze and exhibits essentially no visible surface holes or bubbles and as such would be considered of excellent quantity and shape from a consumer appearance and use standpoint.
Comparative Examples C2A–C2C–Shaving Mousse with 5%-10%A-46 Propellant

The formulation was formed by adding  components  1, 2 and 3 into a first vessel and by adding components 4-10 into a second vessel. The contents of each vessel were then heated to a temperature of from about 70℃ to about 75℃. The contents of  the first vessel were then added to the contents of the second vessel with stirring. The formulation was then charged into a can in an amount to produce a head-space in the can of about 20%based on the relative amount of the propellant to be added as described herein after. The can was then sealed. Propellant consisting of A-46 was then added to the can in an amount to produce can contents consisting of 95%by weight of the formulation of Comparative Table 2 and 5%by weight of A-46 propellant (Example C2A) . This same experiment was then repeated, except that in Experiment C2B and C2C, A-46 was added to the can in an amount to produce can contents consisting of 92.5%and 90%by weight of the formulation of Comparative Table 2 and 7.5%and 10%by weight of A-46 propellant, respectively.

A photograph of the resulting foam from each experiment is provided in Figures 2A, 2B and 2C hereof.

The formulation was formed by adding the components to a vessel in the order listed with stirring with each addition. A clear liquid is formed. The formulation was then charged into a can in an amount to produce a head-space in the can of about 20%based on the relative amount of the propellant to be added as described herein after. The can was then sealed. Propellant consisting of A-46 was then added to the can in an amount to produce can contents consisting of 95%by weight of the formulation of Comparative Table 3 and 5%by weight of A-46 propellant (Example C3A) . This same experiment was then repeated except that in Experiment C3B and C3C, A-46 was added to the can in an amount to produce can contents consisting of 92.5%and 90%by weight of the formulation of Comparative Table 3 and 7.5%and 10%by weight of A-46 propellant, respectively.
The foam produced from each can was then evaluated and the results are reported in Table C3 below.

*-The density properties reported herein are measured by filling a 25 mL can to the rim with the foam and measuring the weight of the foam. Density is calculated by diving the measured weight by the volume of the can.
A photograph of the resulting foam from each experiment is provided in Figures C3A, C3B and C3C hereof.
As can be seen from the table and photographs above, this shaving mousse formulation, which is representative of styling mousse formulations generally, when combined with from 5%to 10%by weight of A-46 as propellant produces a foam which has glossiness, wetness, spreadability and sprayability that are disadvantageous for many important applications from a consumer appearance and use standpoint.
Example 3A–3C–Styling Mousse with 5%, 7.5%and 10%trans-1234ze Propellant
The same styling mousse formulation as described in Comparative Example C3 was prepared, combined with propellant and dispensed as in Comparative Example 3, except that the propellant used consisted of trans-1234ze. The foam produced from each can was then evaluated and the results are reported in Table 3 below.
TABLE 3

*-The density properties reported herein are measured by filling a 25 mL can to the rim with the foam and measuring the weight of the foam. Density is calculated by dividing the measured weight by the volume of the can.
A photograph of the resulting foam from each experiment is provided in Figures 3A, 3B and 3C hereof.
As can be seen from the table and Figures, the glossiness, wetness, spreadability and sprayability properties of the foam produced with trans-1234ze as the propellant are dramatically and unexpectedly superior to the properties of the same foam formulation but using A-46 as the propellant. Moreover, these examples illustrate applicants’ discovery that unexpectedly advantageous foams can be produced when the amount of trans-1234zeused as the propellant is greater than 5%, more preferably from about 7.5%to about 10%. In particular, from the standpoint of foam shape, stability and quantity, the foam produced using 5%trans-1234ze produces a foam quality that is near or below the mid-point on each of these scales. In particular, the foam made with 5%trans-1234ze is relatively flat and has numerous relatively larger (readily visible) surface holes and bubbles, and the stability is 2. This combination of conditions would result in the foam being considered of relatively poor quantity, stability and shape from a consumer appearance and use standpoint compared to a higher foam with no visible holes or surface bubbles. On the other hand, as can be seen from the Figure 3B above, the use of 7.5%by weight of trans-1234ze as propellant produces a foam of a greatly and unexpectedly improved shape, stability and quantity relative to foam produced in Example 3A. In particular, the foam produced by Example 3B with 7.5%of trans-1234ze is higher and more dome-shaped (i.e., not as flat) and has fewer surface holes and bubbles and as such would be considered of a superior quantity and shape from a consumer appearance and use standpoint than the foam of Example 3A.
Further, as can be seen from the Figure 3C above, the use of 10%by weight of trans-1234ze as propellant produces a foam of a greatly and unexpectedly improved quantity and shape relative to foam produced in Example 3A. In particular, the foam produced by Example 3C with 10%of trans-1234ze is yet higher and more dome-shaped (i.e., not as flat) and exhibits essentially no visible surface holes or bubbles and as such would be considered of excellent quantity and shape from a consumer appearance and use standpoint.
Example 4A–4I–Mousse Shampoo with Propellant comprising trans-1234zeand A-46
The same shampoo mousse formulation as described in Comparative Example C1 is used with a series of propellants comprising trans-1234ze and the propellant A-46. The different propellant blends tested are described in Table 4 below:

This experiment reveals that an unexpected advantage is achieved using for mousse formulations with propellant comprising a combination of trans-1234ze and A-46 in a trans-1234ze: A-46 weight ratio of from about 7: 3 to about 3: 7, and even more preferably from about 7: 3 to about 4: 6, with ratios of from about 7: 3 to about 5: 5 being highly preferred. In particular, these results show that formulations using the preferred ratios  of trans-1234ze and A-46 in the blend provide foams having unexpectedly high levels of performance in foam shape, glossiness, wetness, stability and quantity.
In addition, a can containing 90%weight by mousse formulation and 10%of each of Propellants 1–9 is prepared and foam is dispensed from each of the 9 cans onto a vertical sheet of black craft paper, and allowed to form for 3 minutes after dispensing is shown side-by-side in Figure 4B hereof:
This experiment reveals that an unexpected advantage in terms of excellent foam spreadability and stability is achieved with propellant comprising a combination of trans-1234ze and A-46 in a trans-1234ze: A-46 weight ratio of from about 6: 4 to about 4: 6, and even more preferably from about 6: 4 to about 5: 5.
Comparative Example C5–Sunscreen Mousse 10%A-46 Propellant
A sunscreen mousse was prepared using the ingredients and the amounts indicated in Comparative Table 5 below, with all amounts being in percentage by weight:
Table C5–Sunscreen Mousse
Figure PCTCN2020080383-appb-000016
Figure PCTCN2020080383-appb-000017
The formulation was formed by first preparing an oil phase comprising the sunfilters, beeswax, Tego alkanol IC20, Arlacel 165, ganex v220, c12-15 alkyl benzoate, caprylic capric triglyceride at a temperature of 70C-80C and mix those components until uniform. A water phase is then formed by adding into a separate container the water and then dispersing the Natrosol 250 HX until uniform. The water phase is then heated to 70C-75C, and the following components are then added: disodium EDTA, chlorphenesin, propylene glycol, and polysorbate-20. The water phase components are then mixed until uniform. Emulsification is achieved by adding the oil phase to the water phase with homogenization until opaque emulsion formed.
The formulation was then charged into a can in an amount to produce a head-space in the can of about 20%based on the relative amount of the propellant to be added as described herein after. The can was then sealed. Propellant consisting of A-46 was then added to the can in an amount to produce can contents consisting of 90%by weight of the formulation of Table C5 and 10%by weight of A-46 (Example C5A) .
In addition, foam made with higher levels of A-46 propellant has a significant detrimental impact on the spreadability of the foam. In particular, the foam was tested by dispensing onto the back of the hand of the user (see Figures C5A) , and the user then attempted to spread the formulation onto the skin (see Figures C5B and C5C) .
As revealed by Figures C5A, C5B and C5C, this formulation with 10%A-46 as the propellant performed very poorly from a spreadability standpoint. In particular, the foam did not spread evenly and resulted in large clumped areas and left large areas where the formulation was not present on the skin.
Example 5–Sunscreen Mousse with 10%trans-1234ze Propellant
A sunscreen mousse formulation was prepared as described in Comparative Example 5 and combined with propellant and dispensed as in Comparative Example 5, except that the propellant used consisted of trans-1234ze such that the can had 10%by weight of trans-1234ze. This foam was dispensed onto the back of the hand of a user (see Figure 5A) , and the user was able to easily and satisfactorily spread the formulation onto the skin (see Figures 5B and 5C) .
Example 6–Mousse Skin Cleanser with Propellant comprising trans-1234ze and Different Surfactants
A mousse skin formulation was used to prepare and compare a series of mousse foams made using trans-1234ze as the propellant in an amount of about 10 wt%of the formulation contents and a series of different surfactants, with the balance being water. A can containing the mousse formulation with 2.5 wt%, 5 wt%and 10 wt%of the tested surfactant is prepared and the foam is dispensed from each of the cans and the foam density is measured. The results are reported in Table 6A below and in Figure 6A (with the first bar for each surfactant being at 2.5%, the second bar being at 5%and the third bar being at 10%) .
Table 6A
Figure PCTCN2020080383-appb-000018
Figure PCTCN2020080383-appb-000019
As can be seen from the data above, generally the foam density of the mousse increases as the concentration of surfactant decreases. However, applicants have unexpectedly found that a small limited number of surfactants when used in the mousse formulations of the present invention, including each of Mousse 1–23, provide a unexpected opposite result, that is, the foam density decreases as surfactant concentration decreases. This result is illustrated in Figure 6B hereof, which shows the foam volume produced (which is inversely related to foam density) for the same surfactants as reported in Table 6A for surfactant concentrations of 2.5 wt%, 5 wt%and 10 wt%.
