Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an emulsion cosmetic. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, in order to obtain cosmetics with excellent long-lasting makeup, cosmetics containing fine particle zinc oxide or trimethylsiloxysilicate have been investigated. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic containing trimethylsiloxysilicate, a fluorine-modified silicone resin, finely divided zinc oxide, and spherical silica, and Patent Document 2 describes a water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic containing trimethylsiloxysilicate, a powder surface-treated with a fluorine compound, finely divided zinc oxide, and spherical silica. These emulsion cosmetics are excellent in that they prevent makeup from coming off and stickiness even after a long time has passed since application, and they provide a smooth feel when used.
