(JP7277951-A)      A sprayable cosmetic prod. comprises (i) a clear bottle capable of withstanding at least 10 psig and including a spray nozzle at an open mouth; and (ii) a clear, single phase cosmetic compsn. comprising (a) 0.5-20 wt.% of a propellant mixt. consisting of a 1-6C alkyl ether and a 3-6C unsubstd. hydrocarbon propellant in a relative wt. ratio of 10:1-1:10; (b) 0.5-40 wt.% of at least one surfactant in an aq. medium; and (c) 0.5-20 wt.% of a coupling agent of formula HO-(CH2CHRO)m(CH2)n(OCHRCH2)m.-OH where m, m' = integers greater than 1; n = an integer greater than 3; and R = H, 1-12C alkyl and mixts. of these. On actuation of the spray nozzle a creamy foam mousse is expressed from the bottle. Also claimed is the cosmetic compsn. (ii).    Pref. the bottle is made of glass. The ether of the cosmetic prod. is pref. dimethyl ether and it is pref. present in a wt. ratio with the hydrocarbon propellant of 2:1-1:2. The surfactant (b) is pref. a 6-20C alkyl polyglucoside. The coupling agent (C) is pref. PPG-10 butanediol. Humectants, 1-4C monohydric alcohols, 1-20C alpha-hydroxycarboxylic acids and their salts, preservatives, cpds. that produce -hydroxyacids on hydrolysis and minor amts. of vitamins, fragrances, colourants and thickeners opt. may be present.    USE -   The compsn. is used as a cosmetic cleanser, partic. for application to the face.    ADVANTAGE -   The compsn. is an alcohol-free single phase concentrate. It is formulated with a propellant which is readily miscible and does not require special agitation to achieve homogeneity. It has improved phase stability and clarity, lower concentrate viscosity and better foam aesthetics than some previous cosmetic compsns. Foaming does not alter as more of the prod. is discharged. The system provides significant vapour pressure redns. of previous sprayable prods. thereby increasing safety against accidental rupture of the dispenser.
