This water-in-oil emulsion-type stick-shaped deodorant composition contains: (A) a volatile component having a boiling point of 250° C. or less, where the total amount of water and ethanol in the (A) component is 83-100 mass %; (B) component (B-1), component (B-2), or a combination of components (B-1) and (B-2), wherein component (B-1) is an antiperspirant and component (B-2) is a fungicide; (C) a crosslinked silicone surfactant; (D) a non-crosslinked silicone surfactant; and (E) an oily component which has a solid phase at 25° C.

The invention relates to lipstick compositions including at least one natural oil, at least one fatty alcohol wax and particles of at least one filler, in which the lipstick compositions contain minimal amount of animal-derived ingredients and/or beeswax, or are free of such ingredients, as well as to methods and kits including such corn positions.

A deodorant stick comprising: at least about 25% of a liquid triglyceride; at least one antimicrobial; a primary structurant with a melting point of at least about 50° C.; and less than 8% of secondary structurants having a melting point of at least about 60° C.; said stick being free of an aluminum salt; and said stick having a hardness from about 80 mm*10 to about 140 mm*10, as measured by penetration with ASTM D-1321 needle.

Oil compositions containing two or more mixtures selected from the group consisting of a lauroyl glutamic acid diester mixture having a melting point higher than 33° C., a lauroyl glutamic acid diester mixture having a melting point of 20 to 32° C., and a lauroyl glutamic acid diester mixture having a melting point of −20° C. or lower can simultaneously achieve the texture properties (melting smooth feel, uniform spread over the lip surface, and transparent gloss), stability (such as improvement in breaking strength and improvement in temporal stability of the breaking strength), and the elasticity necessary for improving makeup duration of a lipstick.

The invention relates to cosmetic and dermatological preparations which comprise a combination of levulinic acid and anisic acid. The preparations according to the invention are particularly suitable for use on skin. The preparations have a selective antibacterial effect on skin by specifically controlling anaerobic bacteria of the skin flora while having little or no bactericidal effect on aerobic bacteria. The compositions according to the invention are therefore suitable for cosmetic skin care and for the dermatological treatment of certain skin disorders, such as acne.

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.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a triglyceride-containing oil, jojoba oil, a free fatty acid or a salt thereof, and squalene. The present invention also relates to the use of such a composition as a skin conditioning agent.

The present invention provides a water-in-oil cosmetic preparation which contains: (a) from 0.1% by mass to 3% by mass of a substance that is selected from among alkyl-modified/partially crosslinked polyether-modified silicones and alkyl-modified/partially crosslinked polyglycerol-modified silicones; (b) from 0.05% by mass to 0.8% by mass of an uncrosslinked alkyl branched polyether-modified silicone; (c) from 30% by mass to 90% by mass of an aqueous component; and (d) from 5% by mass to 30% by mass of an oil component.

This water-in-oil cosmetic preparation has excellent emulsion stability even in cases where an oil component such as a hydrocarbon oil or an ester oil is contained therein in a large amount, while exhibiting good spreadability since the emulsified state thereof is smoothly broken upon application, and enabling the achievement of water breaking sensation and excellent feeling of use.

The present invention relates to an oily solid cosmetic comprising (A) candelilla wax, (B) a plant-based and/or animal based wax with a melting point of 70° C. or higher, (C) a monoester of a monovalent straight-chain saturated fatty acid and a monohydric straight-chain saturated aliphatic alcohol, having a total of 40 to 48 carbon atoms, and (D) at least one selected from the group consisting of (polyglyceryl-2 isostearate/dimer dilinoleate) copolymer, hydrogenated castor oil dimer dilinoleate, hydrogenated castor oil isostearate, phytosteryl/octyldodecyl lauroyl glutamate, octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate, polyglyceryl-10 isostearate, polyglyceryl-10 diisostearate, polyglyceryl-10 decaisostearate, and polybutene, or 8 mass % or less of dimer dilinoleyl diisostearate and/or dimer dilinoleyl dimer dilinoleate with respect to the total amount of the oily solid cosmetic.

The present invention relates to a double-structured stick cosmetic, including: a solid-form outer layer containing a first oil composition; and an inner core containing a second oil composition, in which the first oil composition contains (A) an alkyl-modified silicone having an alkyl group having 16 to 50 carbon atoms and (B) a wax in a solid-form at 25° C. other than (A). the component (A) may have a melting point of 25° C. or higher and 50° C. or lower. A mass ratio [(A)/(B)] of the component (A) to the component (B) contained in the first oil composition may be 0.2 or larger and 1.5 or smaller,
