Customized cosmetics corresponding to user-unique factors are provided. An information processing apparatus can communicate with a cosmetic dispenser configured to dispense at least one of a plurality of cosmetics based on recipe information indicating a usage amount of each of the plurality of cosmetics. The apparatus includes a retrieve module configured to retrieve user-unique information unique to the user, the user-unique information including at least one of user attribute information related to the user's attributes, environmental information related to the user's environment, action information related to the user's action, and psychosomatic information related to the user's psychosomatic, skin information related to the user's skin, and information related to cosmetics which the user has used, a selection module configured to select the recipe information based on the user unique information among a plurality of recipe information, and a transmission module configured to transmit the selected recipe information to the cosmetic dispenser.

Provided are a piceatannol-containing composition which is a composition originating in a natural material and containing piceatannol at a high concentration, and a method of producing the piceatannol-containing composition. A piceatannol-containing composition which contains 0.0001 to 99.9% by mass of piceatannol is obtained by extracting passion fruit seeds. The extraction of piceatannol is carried out by grinding the passion fruit seeds, adding at least one solvent selected from an aqueous alcohol-based solvent and an aqueous ketone-based solvent and agitating to thereby extract piceatannol into the above-described solvent. In this case, it is preferable to conduct stepwise extraction by using both of the aqueous alcohol-based solvent and the aqueous ketone-based solvent.

The present invention is to provide a new compound having a rough skin improving effect, excellent in safety, excellent in texture in use, especially free of sticky feeling, excellent in refreshing feeling, and capable to improve the base agent stability as a component. An alkylene oxide derivative is characterized by being represented by the below-described general formula (I):(formula I)Z&#x2014;{O-[(AO)-(EO)]-R}&#x2003;&#x2003;(I)(In the formula, Z is the residue obtained by removing hydroxyl groups from the dimer diol, EO is an oxyethylene group, AO is an oxyalkylene group having 3 to 4 carbon atoms, and the addition form is block-type. The symbols a and b are the average addition mole numbers of the above-described oxyalkylene group and the oxyethylene group, respectively, and they are 1&#x2266;2 a&#x2266;150 and 1&#x2266;2 b&#x2266;150. The percentage of the oxyethylene groups with respect to the sum of the oxyalkylene groups having 3 to 4 carbon atoms and the oxyethylene groups is 10 to 99 mass %. Rs may be either identical to or different from each other, and they are hydrocarbon groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.)

Alkylene oxide derivative and skin external preparation containing the same

The present invention provides an oil-in-water emulsified milky skin cosmetic preparation, which is able to impart a refreshing feeling, an astringent effect, a moisturizing effect, and a softening effect to skin, when it is singly used, and which is excellent in terms of emulsion stability although it has a high water content and a low viscosity, presenting a milk white color. An oil-in-water emulsified milky skin cosmetic preparation comprising (a) a copolymer of 2-acrylamide 2-methylpropanesulfonic acid or a salt thereof/polyoxyethylene alkyl ether methacrylate, (b) an alkyl modified carboxyvinyl polymer; and (c) an alkylene oxide derivative, and having a viscosity at 25&#xb0; C. of 10,000 mPa&#xb7;s or less (Vismetron viscometer). It is preferable that the skin cosmetic preparation comprises 0.005% to 2.0% by mass of (a), 0.005% to 1.5% by mass of (b), and 0.005% to 15.0% by mass of (c). The skin cosmetic preparation may further comprise (d) oil having a viscosity at 25&#xb0; C. of 100 mPa&#xb7;s or less and being a liquid at an ordinary temperature, arbitrarily. Furthermore, it is preferable that the skin cosmetic preparation comprises 55% to 80% by mass of water.
