Provided is a cosmetic composition with excellent storage stability, feel during use and ultraviolet light blocking effects, in which an inorganic ultraviolet light blocking agent comprising a hydrophobic fine particulate metal oxide, e.g., hydrophobic fine particulate zinc oxide can be uniformly and stably dispersed in an aqueous phase, and in which a reduction in viscosity of a formulation is suppressed even when the structure of the hydrophobic fine particulate metal oxide is dispersed in the aqueous phase. The cosmetic composition comprises (A) a carboxylic acid modified silicone having a specific structure, (B) a water-soluble thickening agent, (C) a basic compound, and (D) a hydrophobic fine particulate metal oxide. The cosmetic composition is useful as a sunscreen cosmetic composition.

Cosmetic composition

Provided is an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic composition having a high UV protection or blocking effect (particularly, boost effect of SPF value) and excellent water resistance and the like of a film (e.g., cosmetic film) without impairing the tactile sensation or the feeling of use particular to the oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic composition. The oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic composition comprises: (A) a carboxylic acid-modified silicone in a liquid form at 50° C., (B) a vinyl-based polymer emulsion, (C) a basic compound, and (D) an inorganic UV protecting agent consisting of hydrophobic fine particulate metal oxide. The oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic composition is useful as a sunscreen cosmetic composition.

Oil-in-water type emulsion cosmetics

A cosmetic material comprises (A) a hydrophobic powder; (B) a carboxylic acid modified silicone; (C) a basic compound; and (D) water. The (A) hydrophobic powder is generally dispersed in an aqueous phase of the cosmetic material. The cosmetic material can provide a refreshing sense of feel during use, and can form a cosmetic film with excellent water resistance on the skin.

Cosmetic material

A liquid aryl group-containing polyorganosiloxane comprising an arylsiloxy unit represented by RSiO(wherein R is an aryl group), wherein: the arylsiloxy unit constitutes from 20 to 50 mol % of all the siloxy units constituting the polymer, and an average number of moles of aryl groups per 1 mole of Si atoms in the molecule is within a range of 1.20 to 1.65. A composition with an oil agent of the same, wherein the overall refractive index of the composition is not less than 1.45, and an overall viscosity at 25&#xb0; C. of the composition is in a range from 100 to 100,000 mPa&#xb7;s.
