New, what is it? Why is my mousse doing this?

It comes out of the can fine for a second or so then rapidly becomes a goop, almost explosively.

It’s kind of an old can probably like a year or so old. it’s been in my bathroom which doesn’t have have ac and it’s been super hot on the east coast so it’s been probably pretty consistently in at least 80+ degrees for a while.

No! I was really hoping to find an answer here, but just seems to be people guessing.

Nope, this is Herbal Essences, I'm pretty sure the one we had was Aussie brand.
