Publication number: 20190290558Abstract: Disclosed in the present specification is an emulsified makeup cosmetic composition with excellent sustainability. The composition has an effect of providing an emulsified makeup cosmetic composition wherein when the composition is coated on the skin using a volatile oil, the oil is evaporated and a film forming agent imparting high sustaining force is left, thereby preventing the smearing of the composition, increasing sustaining force, and improving the feeling of use even after drying. In addition, disclosed in the present specification is a method for evaluating sustaining force of the cosmetic composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2017Publication date: September 26, 2019Inventors: Hyunwol KANG, Yujin KANG, Kyung Nam KIM, Yeongjin CHOI

Publication number: 20190290559Abstract: A purpose of the present invention is to provide an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic having a fresh feeling in use like that of a skin-care cosmetic such as a milky lotion, while also allowing titanium oxide or zinc oxide, which are ultraviolet scattering agents, to be stably blended into the oil phase, and also providing excellent sunscreen effects. The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic characterized by comprising (A) an ultraviolet scattering agent having a hydrophobic surface; (B) a water-soluble alkyl-substituted polysaccharide derivative; (C) a higher alcohol; and (D) a non-ionic surfactant. The emulsion cosmetic of the present invention preferably has a viscosity, measured by a B-type viscometer at 30° C., of 12,000 mPa·s or lower.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2016Publication date: September 26, 2019Applicant: SHISEIDO COMPANY, LTD.Inventors: Takahiro KATORI, Takashi MATSUI
