The present invention relates to a topical preparation comprising a UV filter combination of certain microfine zinc oxide, 2,4-bis{[4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-2-hydroxy]phenyl}-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (INCI: Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl Triazine), 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid and/or one or more salts thereof and 2,4,6-tris[anilino(p-carbo-2′-ethyl-1′-hexyloxy)]-1,3,5-triazine (INCI: Ethylhexyl Triazone).

Provided are: a glycerin dispersion in which the dispersibility and storage stability of a hydrophobized inorganic powder are improved; and a cosmetic containing the glycerin dispersion. A glycerin dispersion containing a hydrophobized inorganic powder, in which an inorganic powder is used as a base and hydrophobicity is imparted by coating the inorganic powder with an organic surface treatment agent, a polyglycerin-based nonionic surfactant, and glycerin is provided.

A method of measuring rinse properties of a composition from a surface, the method includes providing a cosmetic treatment composition. The method also includes applying the cosmetic treatment composition to a surface. The method also includes rinsing the surface with a first amount of water after applying the cosmetic treatment composition to the surface. The method also includes collecting a portion of the first amount of water after rinsing the surface with the first amount of water. The method also includes measuring a first turbidity of the portion of the first amount of water after collecting the portion of the first amount of water.

The present invention describes compounds and uses thereof in applications relating to absorption of electromagnetic energy. Preferred compounds are double bond-containing compounds capable of absorbing electromagnetic radiation energy and having improved properties.

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 present invention relates to cosmetic compositions having antioxidant properties and suitable for any type of skin.

The present invention relates to a method for concealing wrinkles. The method for concealing wrinkles includes applying a cosmetic composition having an oil-wax gel for diffusing reflection of light at a wrinkled area to a skin, wherein the oil-wax gel is a gel comprising silicone oil and wax, wherein hardness of the oil-wax gel is 100 to 4000 dyn/cm.sup.2, and wherein the oil-wax gel comprises 5 to 95 parts by weight of the silicone oil relative to 100 parts by weight of the oil-wax gel and 1 to 50 parts by weight of the wax relative to 100 parts by weight of the oil-wax gel.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic make-up composition for the skin in the form of a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion comprising in a physiological acceptable medium at least: a) an aqueous polyurethane dispersion, b) a hydrophobic film-forming polymer, c) one or more volatile hydrocarbon oils, preferably in an amount of at least 10 wt % relative to the total weight of the composition, d) one or more absorbent fillers having an oil uptake greater than or equal to 30 ml/100 g and e) pigments.
