Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a skin cosmetic composition. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, there has been a demand for moisturizers that can be applied directly to wet skin, which are easy to use and provide a high moisturizing effect, in order to prevent dryness of the skin after bathing. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a liquid oil composition containing sterols, a higher fatty acid having 12 to 24 carbon atoms that is liquid at 20°C, an ester oil and / or an ether oil, a hydrocarbon oil, a silicone oil having a viscosity of 20 mPa·s or less at 25°C, and a higher alcohol having 12 to 24 carbon atoms, with the aim of providing a moisturizer that has excellent skin-covering properties and an excellent feel when used, such as smoothness (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0003] However, conventional moisturizers, including the one described in Patent Document 1, have the problem that when applied to wet skin, they do not mix sufficiently with the moisture on the skin, and do not blend well with the skin after application. Furthermore, other formulations such as emulsion-type moisturizers do not leave a sticky feeling on the skin after application. Furthermore, moisturizers are also required to have a basic performance of providing a good feeling when used, such as smoothness upon application.
[0004] Therefore, there is a demand for a skin cosmetic composition that has excellent compatibility with wet skin, suppresses stickiness after application, and provides excellent smoothness upon application. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
