The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water-in-oil type cosmetic which ensures emulsion stability in the case where a volatile hydrocarbon oil component is added, has excellent texture such as not leaving a greasy feeling, and is highly compatible with the skin. The present invention relates to a water-in-oil type emulsified cosmetic comprising: (A) 20 to 30 mass % of an oil component; (B) a fatty acid ester having an HLB of 5 to 10; (C) a nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 1 to 4; (D) an organic modified clay mineral; and (E) water, wherein volatile hydrocarbon oil accounts for 10 mass % or more of the oil component (A) and silicone oil is not contained.

A description is given of a composition comprising at least one isosorbide diester, at least one isosorbide monoester and at least one fatty acid, and also of a process for the preparation thereof. In addition, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as pearlizing agent and opacifier in cosmetic compositions and detergents.

A system and method for nonsurgical penile girth enhancement. Hydro-dissection creates a space along a length of the penis between Buck's Fascia and Darte's fascia. The filler material, such as hyaluronic acid, is injected into the space created and is modeled after injection. During the same procedure or a later procedure, additional spaces can be created and injected with the filler material, until the desired girth is obtained. The amount of filler material injected during any given procedure is limited to avoid challenging the lymphatics of the penis. By staging the girth enhancing injections, the risk of penile granulomas can be minimized, if not eliminated.
