Gel that calls for some form of COMPARTMENTALIZED PACKAGING such as the barrier pack that allows the propellant (driving gas), which expels the contents, to be separated from the gel itself. The gel, a soap-based system, stabilized with a water-soluble polymer, blended with lipophilic ingredients contains a hydrocarbon with a suitable boiling point so that when the gel is manipulated between the hands, prior to application to the face, the heat from the skin, aided by the mechanical action, vaporizes the hydrocarbon component transforming the gel into a dense creamy foam.
