A composition for solvating one or more active agents in an aqueous
solution which is suitable for dispensing as a compressed gas aerosol
composition is disclosed. The composition includes at least one
surfactant, at least one active agent (such as a fragrance or an
insecticide), and a compressed gas propellant. The at least one
surfactant is preferably present in an amount from about 0.1 wt. % to
about 3 wt. %. The at least one active agent is preferably present in an
amount from about 0.1 wt. % to about 2 wt. %. The compressed gas
propellant is preferably present in an amount from about 0.1 wt. % to
about 1 wt. %. The total surfactant weight to active agent weight ratio
for the composition is preferably about 1:3 to 5:1. The composition uses
a reduced amount of surfactant and active agent thereby allowing for a
more efficient active agent loading and a reduced stickiness or tackiness
on surfaces contacted during use.
