Publication number: 20230172831Abstract: A cosmetic containing at least one organosiloxane represented by general formula (1), having a boiling point in a range of 205 to 255° C. and a viscosity of less than 5 mm 2/s at 25° C. In the formula, R's are identical to or different from one another and each independently represent a hydrogen group, hydroxy group, or a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, but at least one R is a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 2 to 3 carbon atoms. “a” represents 1 to 5. Thus, a cosmetic which has light touch, good spread, and excellent water repellency, forms uniform cosmetic film, and successfully achieves favorable feeling on use with no strong oily feeling, and which has excellent stability over time and cosmetic persistence even when blended with various oil agents, such as silicone, hydrocarbon oil, and ester, an organic ultraviolet absorber, or an oily component solid at 25° C.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2021Publication date: June 8, 2023Applicant: SHIN-ETSU CHEMICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroko KIKUCHI, Akiko MIZUNO, Sachie YANAGIDA, Tomoya KANAI, Takuya ABE, Ryunosuke HATA
