The present invention is a cosmetic, characterized in that it contains an organopolysiloxane having the following general formula: {(CH.sub.3).sub.3SiO}.sub.3SiCH.sub.3 (1)The cosmetic demonstrates excellent volatility and feel when used, and excellent storage stability.

A cosmetic comprising pantetheine-S-sulfonic acid and/or its salt. A pantetheine-S-sulfonate can prevent pigmentation on the skin. The present invention provides a cosmetic having an extremely high beautifying effect.

Cosmetic comprising a diglyceride which is liquid at room temperature, and a polyol type humectant. It may take any form such as an oily cosmetic, emulsion cosmetic, aqueous cosmetic and can suitably be applied to roughened skin, or hair requiring a humectant effect. They can provide a high, long-lasting moisturizing effect, and at the same time preserve the moisturizing function of the skin or hair after a lapse of time or even after the portion to which it was applied has been washed. These ef...

A cosmetic which contains perfluoroalkyl denatured methylphenyl polysiloxane with a structure represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR1## where l, m and n denote average numbers where l is 1-150, m is 1-150 and n is 0-150, a denotes an integer 0-10, and Rf denotes a perfluoroalkyl group with a carbon number of 1-12.

Cosmetics comprising a hydrophobic powder or a fluorine compound-treated powder, and a liquid perfluoro organic compound are disclosed. These cosmetics are excellent in water repellency, water resistance, sebum resistance and oil resistance, prevents cosmetic components from the removal due to sweat or sebum, shows a good spreadability on the skin and gives a desirable feel at the use, for example, a moist and refreshing feel.

A cosmetic containing a solvent extract of trapae fructus according to the present invention has a large skin depigmental action, and inhibits a hyaluronidase action. In consequence, the lubricity and flexibility of the skin are maintained and aging is also prevented. In addition, the cosmetic of the present invention inhibits the production of active oxygen and has antioxydation, and therefore the oxidation of fatty acids is prevented, so that the production of peroxides is suppressed, which le...

A cosmetic with good water resistance, perspiration resistance and oil resistance, as well as long lasting cosmetic effects, which characteristically containing an organofluorated modified silicone resin comprising units (1), (2) and (3) shown below: (1) R.sub.3 SiO.sub. 1/2 units (2) SiO.sub.2 units (3) Rf.sub.2 SiO unit and/or RfRSiO units in which R denotes a hydrocarbon group with a carbon number of 1-6 or a phenyl group, and Rf denotes --(CH.sub.2).sub.m C.sub.n F.sub.2n+1, m is an integer ...

A cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition which comprises at least one water-soluble or water-dispersible polyurethane of a) at least one polymer having two active hydrogen atoms per molecule which is selected from polytetrahydrofurans, polysiloxanes and mixtures thereof, b) at least one polyesterdiol, c) at least one compound comprising two active hydrogens per molecule and having a molecular weight of 56-300, d) at least one compound which contains two active hydrogen atoms and at least one ani...

The invention contemplates an improved refill cartridge and insert-sleeve construction for use in lipstick or the like containers having outer decorative casings, the sleeve being permanently assembled into the bore of the base part of the outer decorative casing. The particular feature of the invention resides in provision of such circumferential uniformity of the sleeve fit in the outer decorative casing that inherently weak plastic outer casings are smoothly cylindrically supported and perman...

Mascara is prepared by adding a hydrophilic acrylate or methacrylate polymer to the selected cosmetic preparations.
