(11) The lip cosmetic of the present invention contains the high-viscosity oil component (“component (B)”) and the low viscous oil component (“component (C)”).

(12) The high-viscosity oil component (B) of the present invention means an oil component having a viscosity, measured with a B type viscometer at 30° C., of 2,000 mPa.Math.s or more, and the low-viscosity oil component (C) means an oil component having a viscosity, measured with a B type viscometer at 30° C., of less than 2,000 mPa.Math.s.

(13) The high-viscosity oil component (B) used in the present invention means a high-viscosity liquid oil component having such liquidity that the viscosity can be measured with a general viscometer, and does not include an oil component in the form of solid at normal temperature or having such hardness that the viscosity cannot be measured with a general viscometer (hereinafter referred to as a “wax”).

(14) Examples of the high-viscosity oil component (B) of the present invention include, but are not limited to, high-viscosity ester oils such as diisostearyl malate, sucrose tetraisostearate, triisostearin, and di(phytosteryl/octyldodecyl) lauroyl glutamate, high-viscosity hydrocarbon oils such as hydrogenated polyisobutene (hydrogenated isopolybutene), and high-viscosity silicone oils such as dimethicone.

Among these, diisopropyl sebacate, triethylhexanoin, isopropyl myristate and diethylhexyl succinate are preferred.

(16) It is noted that a UV absorber corresponding to the components A of the present invention is not included in the low viscosity oil component (C) or the high-viscosity oil component (B) even if it is an oil having a viscosity falling in either of the aforementioned ranges.

(17) The content of the high-viscosity oil component (B) in the lip cosmetic of the present invention is 30% by mass or more, preferably 32% by mass or more, and more preferably 35% by mass or more. The upper limit of the content is not especially specified, but is generally 70% by mass or less, preferably 68% by mass or less, and more preferably 65% by mass or less.

(18) The content of the low-viscosity oil component (C) in the lip cosmetic of the present invention is 20% by mass or more, preferably 22% by mass or more, and more preferably 25% by mass. The upper limit of the content is not especially specified, but is generally 40% by mass or less, preferably 35% by mass or less, and more preferably 30% by mass or less.

(19) In the lip cosmetic of the present invention, a content ratio [(B)/(C)] of the high-viscosity oil component (B) to the low-viscosity oil component (C) is preferably in a range of 1 to 5, and particularly preferably in a range of 1 to 4.

(20) If the components A to C are contained in the prescribed amounts, the lip cosmetic of the present invention exhibits excellent UV absorption level. Accordingly, the contents of titanium oxide and zinc oxide, which are widely used as UV scattering agents in cosmetics, can be suppressed, and hence unnatural whiteness derived from powders of these substances can be avoided.

(21) The titanium oxide and the zinc oxide used in the present invention include not only pigment-grade powders used as white pigments but also fine particulate titanium oxide and particulate zinc oxide having a smaller average particle size.

(22) The total content of the titanium oxide and the zinc oxide (also referred to as the “component D”) in the lip cosmetic of the present invention is 0.5% by mass or less, preferably 0.3% by mass or less, and more preferably 0.1% by mass. Besides, the lip cosmetic of the present invention contains none of the titanium oxide and the zinc oxide in one aspect.

(23) Owing to the aforementioned composition, the lip cosmetic of the present invention has characteristically a SPF of 20 or more and a critical wavelength of 370 nm or more even if the contents of titanium oxide and zinc oxide serving as UV scattering agents are reduced. In other words, such a lip cosmetic can provide well-balanced UV protection over a wide wavelength region from UVA to UVB.

(24) Here, a value of “SPF (Sun Protection Factor)” in the present invention is a value measured using an SPF measuring apparatus “SPF MASTER®” unless otherwise specified.

(25) A critical wavelength is an index introduced in the Final Rule of U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published in June 2011, and a critical wavelength (λc) is a value defined by the following expression:

(26) [Expression 1]

(27) $\underset{290}{\overset{\lambda c}{\int }}A\left(\lambda \right)d\lambda =0.9\underset{290}{\overset{400}{\int }}A\left(\lambda \right)d\lambda$

(28) Briefly speaking, a UV protection cosmetic is applied onto a prescribed plate, followed by irradiation with light of 4 MED, and then an absorption spectrum is measured. Assuming that an integral value of absorbance at 290 nm to 400 nm in the absorption spectrum is 100%, a wavelength, from 290 nm in increments of 1 nm, at which an integrated value of the absorbance reaches 90% is defined as the critical wavelength (λc). In the Final Rule, merely a product having the critical wavelength (λc) of 370 nm or more is allowed to claim a “broad spectrum” product in the market.

(29) The lip cosmetic of the present invention may comprise, in addition to the components A to D described above, other optional components that can be generally contained in lip cosmetics such as lipsticks and lip rouges (in the form of paste or liquid) as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

(30) In particular, if the lip cosmetic of the present invention is provided in the form of a solid stick or a solid paste, a wax (defined as above) or an oil thickener (a gelling agent) is preferably contained.

(31) Examples of the wax that can be contained in the present invention include solid fats and oils, waxes, hydrocarbons and higher alcohols. Specific examples include solid fats and oils such as haze wax, cacao butter and hydrogenated castor oil; waxes such as carnauba wax, beeswax, candelilla wax and jojoba wax; hydrocarbon waxes such as polyethylene wax, paraffin wax, ceresin and microcrystalline wax; higher alcohols such as behenyl alcohol, cetanol and batyl alcohol; and silicon waxes. Among these, the hydrocarbon waxes such as polyethylene wax, paraffin wax and microcrystalline wax are particularly preferably contained because solidifiability (or formability) in forming a stick shape and whiteness prevention can be improved when they are contained.

(32) The content of the wax in the lip cosmetic of the present invention is preferably 4 to 13% by mass and more preferably 7 to 10% by mass generally based on the total amount of the cosmetic.

(33) Examples of the oil thickener (the gelling agent) that can be contained in the present invention include dextrin fatty acid esters, glycerin fatty acid esters and organic modified clay minerals. Examples of the dextrin fatty acid esters include dextrin myristate, dextrin palmitate and dextrin (palmitate/2-ethylhexanoate). Examples of the glycerin fatty acid esters include glyceryl behenate, glyceryl octastearate and glyceryl eicosanoate.

(34) The content of the oil thickener in the cosmetic in the shape of a solid paste is 2.5% by mass to 15% by mass, preferably 3.0% by mass to 12% by mass, and 4.0% by mass to 10% by mass.

(35) Examples of the other optional components include, but are not limited to, water-soluble polymers, oil-soluble polymers, lower alcohols, higher alcohols, surface active agents, powder components (including pigments) excluding titanium oxide and zinc oxide, colorants and drugs.

(36) Examples of the water-soluble polymers include homopolymers or copolymers of 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (hereinafter abbreviated as “AMPS”). Examples of the copolymers include those with comonomers such as vinyl pyrrolidone, acrylic acid amide, sodium acrylate and hydroxyethyl acrylate. Specifically, examples include AMPS homopolymers, vinyl pyrrolidone/AMPS copolymers, dimethylacrylamide/AMPS copolymers, acrylic acid amide/AMPS copolymers and sodium acrylate/AMPS copolymers.

(38) Examples of the oil-soluble polymers include trimethylsiloxysilicate, alkyl modified silicone, polyamide modified silicone, dimethicone crosspolymers, (dimethicone/vinyldimethicone) crosspolymers and polymethylsilsesquioxane.

(39) Examples of the surfactant (surface active agents) include anionic, cationic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactant, and include silicone-based and hydrocarbon-based surfactant.

(40) Examples of the powder components, other than titanium oxide and zinc oxide, include color pigments and extender pigments such as barium sulfate, iron oxide, talc, mica, sericite, kaolin, mica titanium, ultramarine, chromium oxide, chromium hydroxide, silica and cerium oxide. Besides, nylon-based or acrylic-based polymer spherical powders, silica powders, silicone powders and the like may be contained if necessary.

(60) It is obvious from the results of lip rouges in the shape of a solid stick shown in Tables 1 and 2 with respect to Examples 1 to 8, in which a combination of the component A1 and the component A2 as the UV absorbers and the high-viscosity oil component and the low-viscosity oil component in prescribed amounts are contained, that the high SPF value and the critical wavelength of 370 nm or more are attained, all the evaluation level regarding the solidifiability, the glossiness and the fit-feeling (fitting-and-comfortable sensation), and the applied appearance free from whiteness are excellent. On the contrary, in Comparative Examples 1 to 4 and 6, in which the component A1 was not contained, the SPF is lower than 20, and the critical wavelength is not over 370 nm. In Comparative Example 5, in which the content of the high-viscosity oil component was lower than 30% by mass, the sample fails to form (be solidified) a stick. Besides, in Comparative Example 7, in which the content of the low-viscosity oil component is higher than 40% by mass and the content ratio ((B)/(C)) of the high-viscosity oil component (excluding a wax) to the low-viscosity oil component is lower than 1, and in Comparative Example 8, in which the content of the low-viscosity oil component is lower than 20% by mass and the content ratio ((B)/(C)) higher than 5, the evaluations of the samples are poor in the glossiness and the fit feeling.

(62) In the results of lip rouges also in the shape of a solid stick shown in Table 3, in Reference Examples 1 to 3, in which waxes used in the samples of Examples 9 to 11 excellent in all the evaluation items were all replaced with waxes excluding hydrocarbon waxes, the solidifiability in forming a stick is lowered, and whiteness of the applied appearance is slightly conspicuous. Incidentally, it is presumed that the whiteness of the appearance is caused also because the content of the wax is larger than 13% by mass (in References Examples 2 and 3). Accordingly, in producing a stick-shaped cosmetic, it is preferable to selectively contain a hydrocarbon-based wax in a content of 13% by mass or less.
