  • Patent number: 9757312
    Abstract: The present invention is a skin cosmetic comprising agar hydrogel particles having an average particle size of 0.2-5 mm obtained by stirring and cooling, in an oil based solvent, an agar aqueous solution prepared such that the breaking stress after the cooling/solidification is 0.005-0.1 MPa and an oil based gel prepared by mixing fine particles of silicone that are three-dimensionally cross-linked chemically and silicone oil and/or hydrocarbon oil. The object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic that gives a moderate massaging sensation at the time of use.
