Abstract: An oil-based eyelash cosmetic including 22 to 50% by mass of a wax (A) containing a wax having a melting point of 50° C. to less than 70° C. (A-1) and a wax having a melting point of 70° C. to 110° C. (A-2), 0.1 to 10% by mass of a nonionic surfactant having an HLB value of 6 to 12 (B), 20 to 70% by mass of a volatile oil (C) and 0 to 5% by mass of water (E), and having the ratio by mass of the component (A-1) to the component (A-2) [(A-1)/(A-2)] of 1/0.2 to 1/5, is excellent in removability by warm water as well as volume effect, curling effect and long-lasting performance of cosmetic effect such as water resistance.

Hence, makeup using the oil-based eyelash cosmetic can be removed by washing with warm water without using a special remover.

Abstract: An oil-based eyelash cosmetic including 3 to 40% by mass of an oil-soluble film forming agent (A), 0.1 to 10% by mass of a nonionic surfactant having an HLB value of 7 to 10 (B), 20 to 70% by mass of a volatile oil (C) and 0.5 to 30% by mass % of a nonvolatile oil (D), wherein the ratio of the component (A) and the component (D) [(A)/(D) (mass ratio)] is 0.7/1 to 5.8/1. When a solid oil having a melting point of 50° C. or higher is contained, the amount thereof is 10% by mass or less. The cosmetic exhibits excellent removability by warm water as well as excellent curling effect and long-lasting performance of cosmetic effect such as water resistance peculiar to conventional oil-based eyelash cosmetics.
