[0037] (1) The effect of scraping off the thin skin of the lips. Five female panelists evaluating cosmetics applied the cosmetic samples (Examples and Comparative Examples) to their lips using their usual application methods and evaluated them. The sensation of scraping off the thin layer of skin was evaluated based on the following criteria. The evaluation results were the average of the five panelists.

[0038] 5: I was able to remove the thin layer of skin with 2-3 applications. 4: I was able to remove the thin layer of skin with 4-5 applications. 3: It was necessary to apply the cream more than five times to remove the thin layer of skin. 2: More than 10 applications were required to scrape off the thin layer of skin. 1: It was not possible to scrape off the thin layer of skin.

[0039] (2) Smoothness during use Five female panelists evaluating cosmetics applied the cosmetic samples (Examples and Comparative Examples) to their lips using their everyday application methods and evaluated them. They assessed whether the product could be applied smoothly without any grittiness or discomfort, according to the following criteria. The evaluation results were based on the average of the five panelists.

[0040] 5: It was possible to apply it smoothly without feeling any roughness or discomfort. 4: Although it felt slightly rough and a little strange, it was able to be applied smoothly. 3: It felt rough and had an unpleasant texture, causing some discomfort during application. 2: I felt a rough texture and discomfort, and experienced unpleasant sensations during application. 1: I felt a strong roughness and discomfort, and experienced pain when applying it.

[0041] (3) Makeup longevity The cosmetic products of the examples and comparative examples were applied to the forearms of five female panelists evaluating cosmetics, using the same pressure as when applying to the lips, with an amplitude of approximately 3.0 cm, in three back-and-forth motions. Then, a tissue was placed on the applied area and lightly pressed with three fingers, and a fresh side of the tissue was used to lightly press again. The applied surface was then visually observed after removing the tissue, and the color retention on the applied surface was evaluated according to the following criteria. The evaluation results were taken as the average value of the five panelists.

[0042] 5: Compared to before application, there was no impression that the color had become lighter. 4: The color has become slightly lighter compared to before application. 3: The color has become lighter compared to before application. 2: Compared to before application, the color became lighter, and the outline where the cosmetic was applied became less defined. 1: Compared to before application, only a small amount of color remained.

[0043] (4) Stability over time (appearance) The cosmetic compositions obtained in the examples and comparative examples were filled into stick-shaped cosmetic containers (approximately 4.0 g capacity) with a diameter of approximately 11.8 mm and a height of approximately 45.0 mm using a beaker to obtain stick-shaped cosmetic products. The cosmetic products were placed in a constant temperature bath for a cycle test. The bath was set to 0°C and left to stand for 12 hours, then the bath was set to 40°C and left to stand for another 12 hours. This cycle test was performed for one month (approximately 30 cycles), with one cycle per day. The appearance of the cosmetic products after the test was visually observed and evaluated according to the following criteria. The evaluation results were the average values ​​of five panelists.

[0044] 5: No change 4: There is slight oil seepage on the surface. 3: Oil droplets are seeping out onto the surface. 2: There is oil seepage on the surface and slight melting on the surface. 1: Oil droplets seeping from the surface, surface melting present.

[0045] [Table 1]

[0046] The results in Table 1 show that the cosmetics of Examples 1 to 14, in which the mass ratio (A):(B) is within the range of 1:2 to 1:3, are superior in all aspects, including scrubbing properties, smoothness during use, makeup longevity, and appearance stability.

[0047] [Table 2]

[0048] On the other hand, the results in Table 2 show that the cosmetics of Comparative Examples 1 to 11 are inferior in at least one of the following aspects: scrubbing properties, smoothness during use, makeup longevity, or appearance stability. In Comparative Examples 1, 3, and 5, where the mass ratio (A):(B) exceeds 1:3 (meaning the content of (B) is more than three times that of (A)), the cosmetics are less likely to scrape off the thin skin of the lips. In comparative examples 2, 4, and 6, where the mass ratio (A):(B) was less than 1:2 (meaning the content of (B) was less than twice that of (A)), the cosmetics caused some discomfort upon application. The cosmetic composition in Comparative Example 7, which uses nylon powder in addition to organic powder, has a rough and unpleasant texture when applied, and does not provide a smooth feel. Comparative Example 8, which contained less than 2.0% by mass of component (A), was less effective at removing the thin skin on the lips, while Comparative Example 9, which contained more than 4.0% by mass of component (A), caused some discomfort upon application. Comparative Example 10, a cosmetic product using glucose with a particle size of less than 20 μm as a scrubbing agent, is less effective at scraping off the thin skin of the lips. The cosmetic product in Comparative Example 11, which used silica as a scrubbing agent, not only failed to provide smoothness but also had poor staying power. [Industrial applicability]

[0049] The scrub-containing oily solid lip cosmetic of the present invention can be used in lipsticks and other lip products.
