A transdermally absorbable base material including: a lipid peptide compound including at least one of compound of Formula (1) below and the similar compounds or pharmaceutically usable salts thereof; a surfactant; a specific polyhydric alcohol; a fatty acid; and water, ##STR00001##
wherein R.sup.1 is a C.sub.9-23 aliphatic group; R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group that optionally has a branched chain having a carbon atom number of 1 or 2; R.sup.3 is a —(CH.sub.2).sub.n—X group; n is a number of 1 to 4; and X is amino group, guanidino group, —CONH.sub.2 group, or a 5-membered cyclic group optionally having 1 to 3 nitrogen atoms, a 6-membered cyclic group optionally having 1 to 3 nitrogen atoms, or a condensed heterocyclic group constituted by a 5-membered cyclic group and a 6-membered cyclic group which optionally have 1 to 3 nitrogen atoms.

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.

The object of the present invention is an antiperspirant stick including (A) at least one alkoxy-modified silicone, (B) at least one ester of a C8-C14 alkanoic acid and a C8-C14 alkanol, and (C) at least one antiperspirant active ingredient from the group of aluminum salts or aluminum-zirconium salts.

A solid stick antiperspirant composition is provided. The antiperspirant composition includes aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex glycine having a concentration from about 10% to about 35% by weight of the composition, an anhydrous liquid carrier, one or more structurants having a concentration from about 15% to about 25% by weight of the composition, wherein the one or more structurants comprises one or more waxes and a non-ionic exthoxylated linear alcohol having a carbon chain length from about 20 to about 40. The solid stick antiperspirant composition is a single phase.

Disclosed is a cosmetic composition in the form of a solid water-in-oil emulsion, for example a lipstick, a lip balm, a foundation or a concealer. It also relates to a cosmetic method for caring for or making up the lips or the skin, including the topical application to the lips or the skin of this composition.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a stick cosmetic that has a stick shape and a novel function that allows said stick cosmetic to be used to replenish moisture throughout the day. The present invention relates to a stick cosmetic for moisture replenishment, said stick cosmetic comprising: (A) 0.01-50 mass % of a fluid volatile oil component; (B) 10 mass % or more of water; (C) a wax that is capable of gelating the fluid volatile oil component; (D) a silicone elastomer; and (E) a silicone-based surfactant. The cosmetic of the present invention preferably further comprises (F) a moisturizing agent. The cosmetic of the present invention is suitable for use in touching up makeup and has a stick shape that exhibits excellent portability.

The present invention provides a composition that has an excellent hardness adjustment action, can be used as a solidifying agent for various cosmetics, and when added to cosmetics, can impart those cosmetics with excellent shape retention properties, an oil oozing suppression effect during use, a favorable texture and good storage stability, and also provides an oily solid cosmetic to which the composition has been added. Specifically, the invention provides a solid wax composition containing a component (A): candelilla wax, and a component (B): a monoester having a total of 40 to 48 carbon atoms, wherein the mass ratio between the component (A) and the component (B) in the solid wax composition satisfies component (A):component (B)=45:55 to 95:5, and the monoester is a monoester of a monovalent fatty acid and a monohydric alcohol.

A cosmetic element (3), in particular a make-up product, formed by a first cosmetic product (4) and at least a second cosmetic product (5) different from the first one; the first cosmetic product (4) is a matrix inside of which a plurality of macroscopic corpuscular units (6) are sunk, formed by said at least one second cosmetic product (5).

Disclosed herein are cosmetic lip compositions that contain dried food powders. The dried food powders are present in about 1% to about 20% and impart flavor to the lip compositions. The lip compositions can be solid (e.g., balms, lipsticks) or semi-solid (e.g, gels in tubes) and can be made using known manufacturing processes.

A transdermally absorbable base material including: a lipid peptide compound including at least one of compound of Formula (1) below and the similar compounds or pharmaceutically usable salts thereof; a surfactant; a specific polyhydric alcohol; a fatty acid; and water,
