Provided is a water-in-oil emulsified sunscreen cosmetic having easiness to spread while applying and is unlikely to decrease SPF value when the applied site is wet with water while containing a high content of the hydrophobized ultraviolet scattering agent.

A water-in-oil emulsified sunscreen cosmetic containing the following components (A), (B), (C), and (D): (A) 10 mass % or more and 50 mass % or less of a hydrophobized ultraviolet scattering agent, (B) a dipolyhydroxystearic acid ester of a polyhydric alcohol, (C) 35 mass % or more and 85 mass % or less of a liquid oil agent, and (D) water; wherein a mass ratio of the component (B) to the component (A), [(B)/(A)], is 0.01 or more and 0.2 or less.

Silica microcapsules, each of which includes a shell, and a core containing one or more organic compounds inside the shell, a softener composition containing the silica microcapsules, and a method of producing the silica microcapsules is described. In the silica microcapsules, the shell contains silica as a constituent component, and the organic compound contains a primary alcohol.

A composition for external preparation for skin comprising the following components (A), (B), and (C):(A) from 0.1 to 30 mass % of a polymer having a silicone structure in which a ratio of deformation measured by a predetermined method (1) is 0.3 or more and 1 or less, and in a bend resistance test using a cylindrical mandrel method performed by a predetermined method (2), the minimum diameter of a cylindrical mandrel which causes no cracks in the polymer film is 2 mm or more and 25 mm or less; (B) a volatile oil having a volatilization rate of 14% or more after drying at 1 atmosphere, 40° C., and R.H. of 60% for 30 minutes; and (C) a non-volatile oil, wherein the mass ratio of the component (A) to the component (C), (A)/(C), is from 1 to 150.

Disclosed herein are adhesive remover compositions, methods of making such compositions, and methods of using such compositions. In one aspect, an adhesive remover composition comprises cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone, and a blend or mixture of dimethicone and dimethiconol.

The present disclosure relates to stable cosmetic compositions that include high levels of free glycolic acid. The cosmetic compositions typically include: glycolic acid and/or a salt thereof; at least one non-silicone fatty compound; at least one emulsifier; at least one water-soluble solvent; at least one silicone; and water. The cosmetic compositions are in the form of an emulsion, in particular, a water-in-oil emulsion, and typically have a low pH of below 7. Also, the cosmetic compositions have high amount of free glycolic acid, for example, at least 6 wt. % of free glycolic acid, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition. The cosmetic compositions are particularly useful for improving the appearance of skin. Accordingly, the instant disclosure relates to methods of treating skin, for example, improving the appearance of skin using the cosmetic compositions.
