Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] However, in mist-type cosmetics, when a sufficient amount of hyaluronic acid is blended to enhance the moisturizing effect, there is a problem that the viscosity increases and the sprayability deteriorates.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] The present inventor has found that a liquid cosmetic combined with a water-soluble polysaccharide, a silicone surfactant, a polyhydric alcohol, ethanol, and water is filled in a non-gas type pump spray container, thereby obtaining a skin mist-type cosmetic excellent in sprayability, capable of spraying at an appropriate angle when sprayed, and easy to apply to the skin.
[0006] The present invention relates to the following components (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E): (A) A water-soluble polysaccharide, (B) A silicone surfactant, (C) A polyhydric alcohol, (D) Ethanol, (E) Water It relates to a skin mist cosmetic containing
Effects of the Invention
[0007] The skin mist cosmetic of the present invention is excellent in sprayability, can be sprayed at an appropriate angle when sprayed, and is easy to apply to the skin.
