Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition, in the form of an O/W emulsion, comprising: (a) at least one oil; (b) at least one first polyglyceryl fatty acid ester having a C6-C22 fatty acid residue; (c) at least one second polyglyceryl fatty acid ester having a C24-C32 fatty acid residue; (d) at least one fatty alcohol; (e) at least one gemini surfactant; and (f) water, wherein the weighted average of HLB values of the (b) first polyglyceryl fatty acid ester and the (c) second polyglyceryl fatty acid ester is between 8 and 11, and the weight ratio of the amount of the (b) first polyglyceryl fatty acid ester/the amount of the (c) second polyglyceryl fatty acid ester is more than 15 and less than 35. The composition according to the present invention includes a polyglyceryl fatty acid ester, but it is stable and can provide no sticky feeling or a reduced sticky feeling as well as a non-greasy feeling or smooth feeling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising: (a) at least one oil; (b) at least one polyglyceryl fatty acid ester having an HLB of 8 to 11; (c) at least one anionic surfactant; (d) at least one acrylic thickener; and (e) water, wherein the specific gravity of the (a) oil(s) at 25° C. is more than 0.95, preferably more than 0.96 and more preferably more than 0.97. The composition according to the present invention can achieve a low viscosity but is stable. Also, the composition according to the present invention can provide a good texture such as a smooth feeling to the touch after application.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising (a) at least one microcrystalline cellulose; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant of ester type; (c) at least one surfactant of alkylpolyglycoside type; (d) at least one polysaccharide hydrophilic gelling agent other than the ingredient (a); (e) at least one oil; and (f) water. The composition according to the present invention has good sprayability and stability, and can provide a smooth skin finish.

Abstract: An electronic equipment controlled by a plurality of operation buttons, for example, for reproducing audio signal of a disc player, an audio tape recorder, a tuner, or an amplifier, etc. provides control circuits. A plurality of operation buttons are composed of: basic operation buttons for basic action of the electronic equipment, such as starting or stopping reproducing of the reproducing unit of a recording medium, music selection, and tuner selection and switching volume adjusting operation of an amplifier; additional function buttons associated with basic operation, such as random reproducing of a reproducing unit of a recording medium, adjusting of equalizing characteristic, and switching adjusting operation of tone quality or sound field, etc.. The control circuits are provided in the electronic equipment, and in the normal operation mode, switches overall operation in response to operation of both basic action and additional function buttons.
