Claim:
An emulsified skin-care cosmetic composition comprising: (A) 0.1 to 10% by mass of a plate-like powder; (B) 0.1 to 30% by mass of an oil having an inorganic-organic balance (IOB) of 0.1 to 0.5; (C) 0.01 to 5% by mass of a pulverized agar gel; and (D) 1 to 20% by mass of a moisturizing agent; wherein the oil component is selected from the group consisting of octyl palmitate (IOB=0.13), cetyl 2-ethylhexanoate (IOB=0.13), cetyl octanoate (IOB=0.13), trimethylolpropane triisostearate (IOB=0.14), isopropyl myristate (IOB=0.18), glyceryl triisostearate (IOB=0.18), trimethylolpropane triisostearate (IOB=0.20), isononyl isononate (IOB=0.20), isodecyl benzoate (IOB=0.23), neopentylglycol dicaprylate (IOB=0.25), diisostearyl malate (IOB=0.27), glyceryl diisostearate (IOB=0.29), trimethylolpropane triethylhexanoate (IOB=0.31), trimethylolpropane trioctanoate (IOB=0.31), propylene glycol dicaprylate (IOB=0.32), di-2-ethylhexyl succinate (IOB=0.32), pentaerythritol tetra(behenate/benzoate/ethylhexanoate) (IOB=0.35), trioctanoin (IOB=0.35), pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate (IOB=0.35), pentaerythritol tetraoctanoate (IOB=0.35), pentaerythritol tetra-2-ethylhexanoate (IOB=0.35), glyceryl tri-2-ethylhexanoate (IOB=0.36), diisopropyl sebacate (IOB=0.40), decyl tetradecanol (IOB=0.21) and oleyl alcohol (IOB=0.28), and wherein said composition exhibits reduced stickiness relative to emulsified skin-care cosmetic compositions containing a non-pulverized agar gel.
