The present invention relates to a water-releasing stick-type cosmetic and, specifically, to a water-releasing stick-type cosmetic containing: an oily portion; and a water-releasing ingredient that is spread out in the oily portion, wherein the water-releasing ingredient has water particles encompassed by a plurality of plate-shaped materials to which emulsifiers are bound. According to the present invention, provided is a water-releasing stick-type cosmetic, which can provide a moist and cool feeling by directly supplying a large quantity of water, has excellent dosage form stability by having a hardness suitable for stick cosmetics, and simultaneously has excellent application texture, excellent storage stability and excellent color tone.

An antiperspirant stick composition can include a synthetic wax, a fatty alcohol, a hydrophilic surfactant having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value greater than 10, a plasticizer present in an amount to minimize hardening of the composition due to contact with an aqueous composition, and an effective amount of an antiperspirant active agent. The hydrophilic surfactant can be present in an amount sufficient to minimize perspiration-induced discoloration of fabric in contact with the composition. The fatty alcohol and the antiperspirant active agent can be present at a weight ratio of from about 2:1 to about 1:2.

The present disclosure provides a free-standing cosmetic stick or a liquid cosmetic. The free-standing cosmetic stick or liquid cosmetic includes a bis-carboxy silicone polymer component, one or more coloring agents, and one or more constituents for rendering the formulation into a solid stick or liquid cosmetic.

A cosmetic formulation including a plant derived volatile emollient, a plant derived film former, a pliable wax, and a hyaluronic acid, that provides long lasting wear and increased skin hydration for at least 6 hours.

A lipstick arrangement including a casing and a protective covering. The casing including a first part including a carrier at a bottom region, a second part and a protruding element attached to the second part. Lipstick bullet is mounted on the carrier and has an elongate shape including a sloping top portion. The carrier is operatively coupled to the first part and the second part and the carrier is arranged to move in an axial direction relative to the second part in response to the first part being rotated relative to the second part. The protective covering covers the first part of the casing when applied to the casing. The lipstick bullet when completely unscrewed is exposed in such a way that the sloping top portion of the lipstick bullet faces substantially oppositely to the protruding element.

A method of preparing a stable stick-type cosmetic composition includes separately stabilizing a clay mineral dispersion and a moisturizing component, thereby uniformly dispersing components in the composition. In a typical stick-type composition, components are not uniformly dispersed, and thus a stick formulation prepared using the same is easily broken upon external impact or the like, but the stick formulation prepared by the method of the present invention is maintained in spreadability and sensation of use, and is not easily broken.

A transparent composition having UV protection effect is provided, wherein the UV protection effect is improved after the composition is contacted with moisture, such as water or sweat, more than that immediately after the composition is applied, while maintaining high transparency. The transparent composition contains (a) a UV absorbent, (b) an oil component having a refractive index in the range from 1.5 to 1.7, (c) an oil component having a refractive index of not less than 1.3 and less than 1.5, and (d) a powder having a refractive index in the range from 1.45 to 1.55, wherein a mixed oil component obtained by mixing the (b) oil component having a refractive index in the range from 1.5 to 1.7 and the (C) oil component having a refractive index of not less than 1.3 and less than 1.5 has a refractive index in the range from 1.44 to 1.56.

The method comprises the following steps: (a) heating at least one cosmetic material; (b) depositing a layer (19) comprising one or a plurality of cosmetic materials heated in step (a); (c) at least partially solidifying the layer (19) by cooling the or each cosmetic material; (d) depositing, on the previous layer (19), an additional layer (19) comprising one or a plurality of cosmetic materials heated in step (a), (e) at least partially solidifying the additional layer (19) by cooling the or each cosmetic material; (f) repeating steps (d) to (e) until a three-dimensional object comprising or forming a structured cosmetic composition is formed. The cosmetic composition comprised in the three-dimensional object or forming the three-dimensional object is recoverable after solidifying.

An antiperspirant stick composition can include a synthetic wax having a melting point of less than or equal to 90 C., a melting point additive present at a weight ratio to the synthetic wax to provide the composition with a melting point greater than or equal to 40 C., an effective amount of an antiperspirant active agent, and less than 2 wt % hydrogenated oils, petrolatum, 12-hydroxystearic acid, polyethylenes having a melting point greater than or equal to 60 C., and combinations thereof.

A compound has the structure of formula (1): X(OCH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.2).sub.nOR (1) in which n is an integer from 2 to 15, R is a C.sub.6 to C.sub.36 hydrocarbyl group, X is R or R.sub.1C(O) and R.sub.1 is a C.sub.2 to C.sub.36 hydrocarbyl group. A personal care product contains the compound of formula (1). A method of producing the compound and the use of the compound as a sensory agent and/or pigment wetting agent in a cosmetic or personal care product are also disclosed.
