Patent ID: 8425884

Claim:
An oil-in-water emulsified composition, wherein (i) a first oil phase and (ii) a second oil phase are dispersed separately in an aqueous phase, (i) the first oil phase having average particle size of 700 nm or less, comprising an organic UV absorber, and being formed with, as an emulsifier, a polyoxyethylene/polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether block polymer that is present to an extent of 0.3 to 3% by mass in the oil-in-water emulsified composition and represented by formula (1) or (2): R 1 O—(PO) m -(EO) n -H (1) wherein R 1 is a hydrocarbon group having 16 to 18 carbon atoms; PO is an oxypropylene group, EO is an oxyethylene group, and PO and EO are added to each other in block form; and m and n respectively represent average addition mole numbers of PO and EO, 70>m>4, 70>n>10, and n>m; and R 2 O-(AO) p -(EO) q -R 3 (2) wherein R 2 and R 3 are either identical to or different from one other, and each is a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; AO is an oxyalkylene group having 3 to 4 carbon atoms, EO is an oxyethylene group, and AO and EO are added to each other in block form; and p and q respectively represent average addition mole number of AO and EO, 1≦p≦70, 1≦q≦70, and 0.2<(q/(p+q))<0.8, and wherein the first oil phase comprises, as the organic UV absorber, octocrylene that is present to an extent of 1 to 10% by mass in the oil-in-water emulsified composition, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate that is present to an extent of 1 to 7.5% by mass in the oil-in-water emulsified composition, and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine that is present to an extent of 0.5 to 5% by mass in the oil-in-water emulsified composition, and (ii) the second oil phase comprising a silicone oil and being formed with, as an emulsifier, an alkyl-modified carboxyvinyl polymer.
