Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a powder composition that can be used for cosmetics or skin topical agents and that replaces plastic powder bodies such as a nylon powder body, an acrylic powder body, and a urethane powder body. Provided is a composition which is a powder composition containing (a) acyllysine and (b) cellulose and/or starch, and which has a median diameter of the volume-based distribution of (A) acyllysine of 9 ?m or less. The contained amount of (A) is 2-40 mass %, and the contained amount of (B) is 3-95 mass %, with respect to 100 mass % of the total of the powder composition. The total amount of (A) and (B) is 10 mass % or more.

Abstract: Oil compositions containing two or more mixtures selected from the group consisting of a lauroyl glutamic acid diester mixture having a melting point higher than 33° C., a lauroyl glutamic acid diester mixture having a melting point of 20 to 32° C., and a lauroyl glutamic acid diester mixture having a melting point of ?20° C. or lower can simultaneously achieve the texture properties (melting smooth feel, uniform spread over the lip surface, and transparent gloss), stability (such as improvement in breaking strength and improvement in temporal stability of the breaking strength), and the elasticity necessary for improving makeup duration of a lipstick.

Abstract: Provided are gelling agent compositions capable of preparing gel compositions with good stability, which include a composition containing (A) at least one kind of N-acyl acidic amino acid dialkylamide represented by the formula (I): wherein each symbol is as described in the DESCRIPTION) and (B) fatty acid having 3-22 carbon atoms or fatty acid having 3-22 carbon atoms and higher alcohol having 8-22 carbon atoms or (E) N-acylamino acid, a composition containing (A) at least one kind of N-acyl acidic amino acid dialkylamide represented by the formula (I) and (B?) a solvent having a boiling point of not more than 120° C. and not more than 2 wt % of water, and a composition containing a particular N-acyl acidic amino acid dialkylamide at a particular ratio.
