Abstract: A method for preparing a cosmetic kit provides cosmetics which are customized (personalized) for each user and a cosmetic provision device which uses the kit to supply customized cosmetics. The cosmetic kit includes a plurality of cosmetic bases, and is used for customized cosmetics which are prepared by mixing the plurality of cosmetic bases in accordance with recipe information determined on the basis of user unique information. The method provides a cosmetic kit with a container containing at least two cosmetic bases selected from the plurality of cosmetic bases that is rotated at a prescribed speed, and a new-infrared measurement of the bases in the container is performed at prescribed time intervals, the time (T)required to obtain an nth measurement, in which the rate of change between the absorbance in the nth measurement and the absorbance in the previous ((n?1)th)measurement is 100%±5%, and the rate of change with respect to the absorbance in the following ((n+1)th) measurement is 100%±5%.

Abstract: A method is provided for formulating a pore-correcting cosmetic. The method involves combining materials in the following specific order: Adding a dispersing agent to an aqueous medium, followed by dispersing a lipophilic porous powder in the aqueous medium, and then adding an oil component having viscosity of 100 mPa·s or less to the aqueous medium.

Abstract: A cosmetic kit provides cosmetics which are customized (personalized) for each user and a cosmetic provision device which uses the kit to supply customized cosmetics. The cosmetic kit includes a plurality of cosmetic bases, and is used for customized cosmetics which are prepared by mixing the plurality of cosmetic bases in accordance with recipe information determined on the basis of user unique information. The cosmetic kit provides that when a container containing at least two cosmetic bases selected from the plurality of cosmetic bases is rotated at a prescribed speed, and a near-infrared measurement of the bases in the container is performed at prescribed time intervals, the time (T) required to obtain an nth measurement, in which the rate of change between the absorbance in the nth measurement and the absorbance in the previous ((n?1)th) measurement is 100%±5%, and the rate of change with respect to the absorbance in the following ((n+1)th) measurement is 100%±5%, is not more than 35 minutes.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a composition providing like a skin care cosmetics appearance and a texture, and being capable of correcting irregularities such as pores without using an inorganic powder having a high covering power. A composition, comprising: an aqueous medium; a lipophilic porous powder dispersed in the aqueous medium; an oil having a viscosity of 100 mPa·s or less, the oil being kept by at least some of pores of the lipophilic porous powder; and a dispersing agent for dispersing the lipophilic porous powder in the aqueous medium.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition is provided herein, the composition comprising: an ester of pentaerythritol and a benzoic acid having the formula (I) wherein R1 and R2 independently indicate a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched fatty acid residue having 1 to 24 carbon atoms or a benzoic acid residue, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: A stick-type cosmetic includes a solid wax whose content is more than or equal to 5% by weight and less than or equal to 8% by weight, wherein hardness of the stick-type cosmetic is more than or equal to 0.1 and less than or equal to 0.4, and gloss of the stick-type cosmetic is more than or equal to 30.

Abstract: Stick-shaped solid cosmetic 10 comprises a wax with a melting point of 45° C. or higher and liquid oil, wherein the hardness of top portion 16 is 0.07 N to 0.38 N and the hardness of boundary portion 20, which is a border between a retained portion in inner holder 12 and a portion outside of the inner holder 12, is 0.03 N to 0.31 N higher than the hardness of the top portion, and wherein the hardness gradually increases from the top portion 16 to the boundary portion 20. Thus, the stick-shaped solid cosmetic 10 has smooth spreadability and excellent product strength.
