A water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic free of stickiness and oiliness, having semi-transparent or transparent appearance to effect feel of freshness, and able to provide moisturized feel is provided. The water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic contains (a) a solid moisturizer, (b) a polyether-modified silicone, and (c) a silicone oil having a refractive index in the range from 1.380 to 1.420 at 25° C., wherein a moisturizer content is 22 mass % or more relative to the total amount of the cosmetic.

The invention provides a topical o/w emulsion which moisturizes, and protects, repairs or restores the skin lipid barrier of a mammal. The topical o/w emulsion composition comprises: a) a discontinuous oil phase; b) a continuous aqueous phase comprising water; c) a thickening agent; d) at least one lamellar membrane structure comprising (i) a phospholipid, (ii) a fatty alcohol, and (iii) a fatty acid; e) a pharmaceutically acceptable active agent; and f) optionally a dermatologically acceptable excipient. In one embodiment, the composition, in use, has a water vapor transmission rate of less than or about 75 g.Math.m.sup.−2.Math.hr.sup.−1 measured in vitro using the modWVTR test methodology.
