Abstract: A surface emitting laser module includes a base substrate, a surface emitting laser substrate mounted on the base substrate, the surface emitting laser substrate including a surface emitting laser element, and the surface emitting laser substrate having a first face facing the base substrate and a second face facing away from the base substrate, and an optical member facing the second face and including an optical element configured to receive light emitted from the second face of the surface emitting laser element. The surface emitting laser element includes a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer, a first electrode provided on the first face and connected to the first semiconductor layer, and a second electrode provided on the first face and connected to the second semiconductor layer. The base substrate includes a third electrode connected to the first electrode and a fourth electrode connected to the second electrode.

Abstract: The liquid composition of the present invention contains 0.01 to 1 wt % of a nonionic surfactant (a), 0.05 to 1 wt % of a dihydric alcohol having 2 to 4 carbon atoms (b), and 30 to 70 wt % of ethanol (c), the nonionic surfactant (a) is at least one selected from the group consisting of alkyl ether type nonionic surfactants and polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil type nonionic surfactants, the mole number of ethylene oxide per mole of the nonionic surfactant (a) being 20 to 100, and the HLB value of the nonionic surfactant (a) being 13 to 20.

Abstract: Skin cosmetics which are excellent in moistness and persistency of moisture-keeping effect, show light sense of touch when used and have excellent periodical stability. In addition, there are provided skin cosmetics which do not cause stickiness after their use, are excellent in rough skin improving and preventing effects, wrinkle preventing and improving effects, dinginess improving effect and the like, and also have an effect in providing the skin with smoothness and liveliness. Also, in the case of skin cleansing compositions, they exert such effects that they can provide the skin with liveliness and moistness after washing and can effectively remove fishy and ammonia smells or the like filthy smell adhered to the hand, the skin and the like. A skin cosmetic characterized in that it contains (A) at least one substance selected from seed extracts and seed hull extracts of a plant belonging to the genus Carya of the family Juglandaceae in an amount of from 0.

Abstract: Method for producing a cosmetic composition comprising 0.00005 to 10 wt % of polymethoxyflavone having at least four methoxy groups. Cosmetic compositions in the form of lotions, milky lotions, oil-in-water creams, water-in-oil creams are preferable, thus providing cosmetic compositions that are excellent in the whitening effect, allow the skin to retain moisture for a long time, vitalize the skin, suppress wrinkles, and have excellent storage stability.
