Abstract: Provided is a water-in-oil emulsified cosmetic having improved feeling on use and usability. The water-in-oil emulsified cosmetic may include: (a) one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of polyacrylic acid, a salt of polyacrylic acid, poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid), and a salt of poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) and having (i) a weight average molecular weight of 1 million to 4 million, and (ii) a viscosity at 25° C. when made into a 1% by mass aqueous solution of 1 Pa·s or less, (b) an aqueous phase component other than the component (a); (c) 60% by mass or less of an oily component, and (d) an emulsifier.

Abstract: Provided is an elastomer that improves the skin feel of an inorganic powder. The elastomer according to the present invention is an elastomeric mixture comprising an amino group-containing silicone polymer and a carboxyl group-containing silicone polymer or a carboxyl group-containing acrylamide polymer. The molar ratio of amino groups to carboxyl groups in the mixture is within the range of 0.1 to 1.2.
