Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition, comprising (a) at least one modified starch; (b) at least one C13-C15 acid; (c) at least one clay; and (d) at least one amphoteric surfactant, wherein the weight ratio of the amount of the (d) amphoteric surfactant/the amount of the (b) C13-C15 fatty acid is 0.5 or more, preferably 0.6 or more, and more preferably 0.7 or more. The composition according to the present invention can be rinsed off from a keratin substance such as skin and can leave an enhanced deposition of clay on the keratin substance after rinsing off the composition from the skin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a two-phase composition comprising an oil phase comprising: an oil phase comprising (a) at least one hydrocarbon oil; and an aqueous phase comprising (b) at least one ester of citric acid, and (c) water, wherein the amount of the (a) hydrocarbon oil in the composition is 6% by weight or more, preferably 7% by weight or more, and more preferably 8% by weight or more, relative to the total weight of the composition. The composition according to the present invention has two visually distinct phases when not being mixed. However, the composition according to the present invention can be transformed into a single phase composition when being mixed. The single phase composition, such as an emulsion, can provide good cosmetic effects such as good make-up removability, without discomfort.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a two-phase composition comprising an oil phase comprising (a) at least one oil, and an aqueous phase comprising: (b) at least one aromatic ketone compound represented by formula (I); (c) at least one polyglyceryl fatty acid ester; and (d) water. The composition according to the present invention has two visually distinct phases when not being mixed. However, the composition according to the present invention can be transformed into a single phase composition when being mixed. The single phase composition, such as an emulsion, can provide good cosmetic effects such as good make-up removability, without discomfort. The single phase composition can return to a two-phase composition with a clean interface between the two re-formed phases.

Abstract: Provided is an oil-in-water-type skin external agent containing: (a) at least one tocopherol phosphate ester compound selected from the group consisting of tocopherol phosphate ester and a salt thereof; (b) gellan gum; (c) a dihydric or trihydric alcohol; (d) at least one oil component selected from the group consisting of esters of fatty acids having 6 to 12 carbon atoms and polyhydric alcohols, and vegetable oils; and (e) water.

Abstract: A gel composition containing (a) at least one selected from tocopherol phosphoric acid esters and salts thereof; (b) carrageenan; (c) locust bean gum; (d) at least one selected from agar and glucomannan; and e) water.
