Abstract:
A cosmetic composition comprising the following components (A) and (B):(A) at least one compound selected from amide derivatives represented by the following general formulae (1), (2), (3), and (4): wherein R1 and R2 are identical to or different from each other and are, independently, a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, which may be hydroxylated, R3 is a linear or branched alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or a single bond, and R4 is a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched alkoxyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or a 2,3-dihydroxypropyloxy group, with the proviso that when R3 is a single bond, R4 is a hydrogen atom; wherein R1a is a hydrocarbon group having 4 to 40 carbon atoms, which may be hydroxylated, R3a is a linear or branched alkylene group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, and R4a is a linear or branched alkoxyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms; wherein R1 and R2 are identical to or different from each other and are, independently, a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, which may be hydroxylated, R3a is a linear or branched alkylene group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, and R4a is a linear or branched alkoxyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms; wherein R1 and R2 are identical with or different from each other and are, independently, a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, which may be hydroxylated, R3 is a linear or branched alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or a single bond, and R4b is a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched alkoxyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or an 2,3â€”epoxypropyloxy group, with the proviso that when R3 is a single bond, R4b is a hydrogen atom; and(B) at least one component selected from the group consisting of (B-1) polyhydric alcohols, (B-2) vegetable extracts, and (B-3) organic acids or salts thereof.
