The present invention relates to a method for improving the
UV blocking efficiency and a cosmetic manufacturing use, which uses a composition comprising a combination of (a) a
polymer having self-emulsifying ability and (b) a
polyol having an IOB value of 5.0 or less, wherein the above composition includes an aqueous phase portion and an oily phase portion, (a) the
polymer having self-emulsifying ability and (b) the
polyol having an IOB value of 5.0 or less are contained in the above aqueous phase portion, a
UV blocking agent is contained in the above oily phase portion, wherein the above composition does not contain an oily phase
thickening agent, the
viscosity of the above oily phase portion is 1,000 cps or less. Generally, the
UV blocking efficiency of a UV blocking agent decreases due to heat, but according to the present invention, a remarkable effect of improving the UV blocking efficiency of a UV blocking agent by heat can be obtained.
