Abstract: A method of producing a lip cosmetic, comprising the steps of: (i) mixing an oligomer (ingredient (a)) produced from behenic acid, eicosane diacid, and a glycerin condensate, a polyol (ingredient (b)), and water (ingredient (c)) to prepare a solution containing ingredients (a), (b), and (c); (ii) mixing an ester oil (ingredient (d)) composed of a carboxylic acid having 2 to 36 carbon atoms and an alcohol having 1 to 36 carbon atoms, being in a liquid or paste form at ordinary temperature, and having a viscosity of 300 mPa·s or more at 25° C. and an oligomer (ingredient (e)) produced from behenic acid, eicosane diacid, and glycerin to prepare a solution containing ingredients (d) and (e); and (iii) mixing the solution containing the ingredients (a), (b), and (c) and the solution containing the ingredients (d) and (e).

Abstract: The invention provides a gel-type water absorbent with rich flexibility and elasticity, with less variation in strength of gel during preservation, with low viscosity of sol, with easy processability, having a physical property with extremely less water discharge, and having functions of water absorbency and water solubility. The gel-type water absorbent contains a tamarind seed polysaccharide including 90% or more dietary fiber, 1% or less protein and 1% or less ash; and a water-soluble organic substance including at least one or more of a polyhydric alcohol and water-soluble surfactant.

Abstract: An esterification reaction product obtained by esterifying dipentaerythritol and a 12-hydroxystearic acid polymer and having a hydroxyl value of 20 to 70 mg KOH/g and an acid value of 3 mg KOH/g or less. The esterification reaction product has a high-water holding property and a pigment-dispersing property.

Abstract: [Object] To provide lip cosmetics which are excellent in the sense of use such as smoothness and adhesion upon application, excellent in moisturizing and protecting properties for lips, and excellent in long-term stability. [Solving Means] A lip cosmetic of the present invention contains the following ingredients (a) to (e): (a) an oligomer produced from behenic acid, eicosane diacid, and a glycerin condensate; (b) a polyol; (c) water; (d) an ester oil composed of a carboxylic acid having 2 to 36 carbon atoms and an alcohol having 1 to 36 carbon atoms and being in a liquid or paste form at ordinary temperature; and (e) an oily gelling agent.

Abstract: A transparent aqueous elastic body can be obtained, which is highly transparent, flexible, hardly fragile, and excellent in strength against strain. The transparent aqueous elastic body comprises at least one thickening agent selected from galactomannans, and a xanthan gum, in which water-insoluble components are decomposed or removed. The transparent aqueous elastic body has a transmissivity above 90% T measured using a spectrophotometer under a condition at a temperature of 25° C., with a measuring wavelength of 655 nm, in a measuring optical path of 10 mm.
