Development of new high oil contained powder (powder gel) and application to powder make-up

摘要

The application of the funicular state that consisted of the continuous phases of powder and oil with dispersed air was succeeded by the control of oil bridging force between spherical porous powder. We named this state powder gel. This product-technology was developed by formulation study of widely available ingredients without special materials and achieved both characters of a liquid and a powder in one foundation. Make-up cosmetics consisted of powder gel were quite different from conventional powdery, oil-gel and liquid foundations. These looked like pressed powder but applied like cream make-up without oily feeling. This novel powder gel formula was applicable widely as a basic powder make-up base.
