Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a powdery cosmetic.

Background Art

[0002] Even for powdery cosmetics such as foundations, cosmetics that provide a cooling sensation are desired in high-temperature periods or situations where sweating may occur. As a cosmetic that provides a cooling sensation even when containing powder, an oil-in-water powdery cosmetic containing (A) a water-in-water emulsion composed of (hydroxyethyl acrylate / acryloyldimethyl taurate Na) copolymer, isohexadecane and water, (B) a cooling agent, and (C) ethanol has been reported (Patent Document 1).

Summary of Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, even in the cosmetic described in the aforementioned Patent Document 1, when a large amount of powder is contained, there is a problem that the cooling sensation is hardly felt due to the influence of the powder, and a smooth dry feeling cannot be obtained during use.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] Accordingly, the present inventors have found that when one or more selected from at least cellulose powder and starch powder are contained in a large amount of powder, and menthols and sugar alcohol are blended therewith, a powdery cosmetic that has a cooling sensation even when containing a large amount of powder and provides a smooth dry feeling during use can be obtained.

[0006] That is, the present invention provides the following components (A), (B) and (C): (A) A powder containing at least one or more selected from (A1) cellulose powder and starch powder, 60% by mass or more. (B) One or more selected from menthol and its derivatives (C) Sugar alcohol This invention provides a powder cosmetic containing [a specific ingredient / component]. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] Despite containing a large amount of powder, the powder cosmetic of the present invention provides a good and lasting cooling sensation, and the smooth feeling lasts for a certain period of time immediately after application. Furthermore, it has the excellent effect of providing a good visual finish immediately after application to the skin, and when applied to bangs, it maintains a smooth, manageable feel. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
