[0072] (Melting Point of Wax)

[0073] The melting point of a wax was measured by the following procedure.

[0074] About 5 mg of a sample was weighed and placed in an aluminum sample pan. An aluminum cover was attached to this pan, and the pan was installed in a differential scanning calorimeter DSC7020 (manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corp., product name). Using an electric cooling unit POLYSCIENCE (manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corp., product name), a sample and a reference sample were maintained for one minute at 0 C. under a nitrogen gas flow rate of 30 to 50 mL/min. Subsequently, a melt endothermic curve was obtained by raising the temperature from 0 C. to 120 C. at a rate of temperature increase of 10 C./min, lowering the temperature from 120 C. to 0 C. under a condition for temperature decrease of 14 C./min, and raising the temperature again from 0 C. to 120 C. at a rate of temperature increase of 14 C./min.

[0079] (Initial Hardness)

[0080] A sample for measurement obtained by charging a cosmetic into an ointment jar having a capacity of 20 mL and leaving the cosmetic to stand overnight at 25 C. was prepared. For this sample for measurement, the hardness was measured using a rheometer (manufactured by RHEOTECH) under the conditions of the tip shape of the pressure-sensitive shaft: disc having a diameter of 5 mm, speed of penetration: 6 cm/min, depth of penetration: 10 mm, and temperature: 25 C.

Each panel assigned a score for each sample, and the average point of the scores given by all the panels was judged according to the following criteria.

[0084] 5 points: Very satisfactory

[0085] 4 points: Satisfactory

[0086] 3 points: Normal

[0090] B: 3.5 or higher and lower than 4.5

[0091] C: 2.5 or higher and lower than 3.5

[0092] D: Lower than 2.5

[0093] (Storage Stability)

[0094] 100 g of a cosmetic was charged into a jar container and was stored for one week in a cyclic constant-temperature tank at 5 C. to 40 C. For the cosmetic after storage, the hardness was measured by a method similar to that for the initial hardness, the change ratio of the hardness to the initial hardness was determined, and the change ratio was judged in 3 grades according to the following criteria.
