A water-in-oil emulsifying cosmetic that has a smooth texture while suppressing stickiness, and that further has an excellent fitting sensation when applied. The water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic of the present invention contains (A) a water-soluble thickener in an internal phase; and contains at least one of (B) an emulsifying crosslinked elastomer and (C) a metal soap in an external phase.

A transparent cosmetic composition and related methods are provided. The composition includes, in relation to the total weight thereof, 0.1 to 30 wt. % of a mixture of at least two conditioning polymers, 0.01 to 25 wt. % of a polyether-modified polysiloxane, 0.001 to 15 wt. % of a film-forming polymer, and 1 to 90 wt. % water.

A hair conditioner which provides hair conditioning, de-tangling, frizz control and reduced flyaway benefits, without weighing down hair or loosing hair volume, in a clear composition, is disclosed. The composition utilizes a combination of high levels of PEG/PPG silicone surfactants together with cationic polymeric thickeners (such as polyquaternium-37) to provide those benefits.
