Abstract: An objective of the invention is to provide a sunscreen cosmetic that, by blending an environmentally friendly and highly water-resistant powder component instead of microplastic beads or silica, can achieve high ultraviolet protection power even when a small amount of an ultraviolet protectant is used, that moreover has the property wherein, by coming into contact with water, perspiration or the like, the ultraviolet protection effects are increased even more than those directly after being applied, and that also has an excellent texture. The sunscreen cosmetic according to the present invention contains (A) an oil phase thickener, (B) an ultraviolet protectant, and (C) a wax powder having a volume-average particle size of 1 to 30 lam.

Abstract: An objective of the invention is to provide a sunscreen cosmetic that increases the ultraviolet protection power of ultraviolet protectants, thereby achieving high ultraviolet protection power using only a small amount of ultraviolet protectants, while simultaneously providing an excellent texture and placing little strain on the skin. The sunscreen cosmetic according to the present invention contains the following components (A) to (C): (A) an ultraviolet protectant; (B) silica having a particle size of 0.3 to 1 µm; and (C) a powder having a particle size of 1 to 30 µm; wherein the (C) powder is of one or more types selected from the group consisting of silica, aluminum starch octenyl succinate, cellulose or derivatives thereof, waxes, mica, sericite and biodegradable resins.

Abstract: There is provided a novel composition containing a UV wavelength conversion substance, a dispersant, a UV absorber and/or a UV scattering agent, and an oil content, wherein the blending amount of the dispersant is 1% by weight or more.

Abstract: To provide a novel oil-in-water type emulsified composition, comprising a UV wavelength conversion substance and a water-soluble alkyl-substituted polysaccharide derivative.
