The present invention relates to a mesh-type moisture-release cushion cosmetic product and, more specifically, to a mesh-type moisture-release cushion cosmetic product having a cosmetic container, which has a mesh net mounted at the upper part thereof and is filled with a water-in-oil moisture-release cosmetic composition comprising: an oil phase part including wax, oil, and a mixture-emulsifying agent comprising a combination of a main emulsifying agent and an auxiliary emulsifying agent; a water phase part including water; and a powder part including hollow-structured gloss pigments.

A water-in-oil emulsion composition that is significantly excellent in emulsification stability, and also excellent in non-stickiness is provided. The water-in-oil emulsion composition includes (a) a polyoxyalkylene/alkyl co-modified silicone; (b) a core-corona particle; (c) an oil-phase component; and (d) an aqueous-phase component.

The object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic capable of giving high SPF values while maintaining feeling on use required for oil-in-water cosmetics, such as freshness and being easy to spread and reducing burden on the skin.

A cosmetic containing a powder dispersion composition prepared by dispersing powder, wherein the powder has an average particle size of 10 times or less the primary particle size of the powder, the polydispersity index (PDI value) of the average particle size of the powder dispersion composition is 0.4 or less and the absorbance per 1% of the powder is 150 or more.

The instant disclosure relates hair care compositions comprising ionic liquids or ionic mixtures. Ionic liquids or ionic mixtures are combined with a cosmetically acceptable carrier to form ready-to-use hair care compositions. The ionic liquids and the ionic mixtures are formed from; (1) thiolactic acid and/or one or more alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts thereof; and (2) one or more amine compounds, and/or one or more ammonium cationic compounds, and/or one or more salts thereof. The ionic liquids, the ionic mixtures, and the hair care compositions comprising the ionic liquids or the ionic mixtures, are useful in methods for preventing hair damage, shaping hair, caring for hair, etc.

A non-rinse-off hair protective cosmetic including a polyoxyalkylene-modified organopolysiloxane compound which has: a terminal to which a siloxane chain having a polyoxyalkylene group shown by a formula (1) is bonded; 50 or more structural units shown by a formula (2) per molecule; a viscosity of 50,000 mPa.Math.s or more at 25° C.; and an HLB of 1 to 7, where each R.sup.1 represents an alkyl group or a phenyl group; A represents a monovalent group having a polyoxyalkylene group shown by a formula (3) or (4). Thus, a non-rinse-off hair protective cosmetic excellent in hair protection performance, resistant to water, but easily removable with a shampoo or the like after use. ##STR00001##
