[0040] [Examples 1 to 16 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8] Water-in-oil sunscreen cosmetics were prepared according to the formulations shown in Tables 1 to 5 for Examples 1 to 16 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8. The values ​​in the tables indicate mass %. Note that Comparative Example 6 in Tables 3 to 5 is the same.

[0041] Furthermore, the performance of these cosmetics was evaluated as follows, and the evaluation results are shown in Tables 1 to 5.

[0042] [Integrated absorbance value] The integrated absorbance value was calculated by the following procedure. If the integrated absorbance value is 120 or more, the cosmetic product is sufficiently effective as a sunscreen. First, a measurement sample was applied to a plate (S plate) (5 cm x 5 cm V-grooved PMMA plate, SPF MASTER (registered trademark) PA01, manufactured by Shiseido Co., Ltd.) at a concentration of 2 mg / cm. 2 The plate was then applied with a finger for 60 seconds and allowed to dry for 15 minutes. The absorbance of the plate to which the measurement sample had been added was measured at 280 nm to 400 nm using a spectrophotometer (U-3500 model self-recording spectrophotometer, manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.). The absorbance (Abs) at 280 nm to 400 nm was integrated to calculate the integrated absorbance value.

[0043] [Integrated Value After Water Bath] After measuring the absorbance to obtain the integrated absorbance value, the plate was thoroughly immersed in water with a hardness of 50 to 500 and stirred in water for 30 minutes at 300 rpm using a Three-One motor. The plate was then dried at room temperature (25°C ± 5°C) for approximately 15 to 30 minutes until all water droplets on the plate surface disappeared, and the absorbance was measured again. The absorbance (Abs) at 280 nm to 400 nm was integrated to calculate the integrated value after the water bath.

[0044] [Water Resistance Evaluation] Using the integrated absorbance value and the integrated absorbance value after water bath obtained by the above procedure, the rate of change in absorbance (Abs) before and after water bathing was calculated based on the following formula (1). A higher value of the rate of change in absorbance indicates that the measurement sample has not flowed into the water, and therefore was evaluated as having higher water resistance. <Formula (1)> Rate of change in absorbance before and after water bathing (%) = (integrated absorbance value after water bathing) / (integrated absorbance value before water bathing) × 100

[0045] [Water Resistance Evaluation (Rank)] The rate of change in absorbance before and after bathing in water obtained in the water resistance evaluation above was ranked according to the following criteria. C or higher was evaluated as having sufficient water resistance. S: Rate of change in absorbance is 85% or more A: Rate of change in absorbance is 80% or more but less than 85% B: Rate of change in absorbance is 76% or more but less than 80% C: Rate of change in absorbance is 70% or more but less than 75% D: Rate of change in absorbance is less than 70%

[0046] [Absorbance Evaluation] Using the integrated absorbance values ​​of the Examples and the Comparative Examples, the absorbance ratio was calculated based on the following formula (2). The absorbance ratio was rounded to two decimal places. The comparative examples used for comparison in each Example are listed in Tables 1 to 5. <Formula (2)> Absorbance evaluation = (integrated absorbance value of Example) / (integrated absorbance value of comparative example)

[0047] [Absorbance Evaluation (Rank)] The absorbance evaluation values ​​obtained above were ranked according to the following criteria. B or higher was evaluated as having sufficient absorbance. S: Absorbance evaluation of 1.10 or higher A: Absorbance evaluation of 1.05 or higher but less than 1.10 B: Absorbance evaluation of 0.95 or higher but less than 1.05 C: Absorbance evaluation of 0.90 or higher but less than 0.95 D: Absorbance evaluation of less than 0.90
