Emulsion cosmetic

An emulsion cosmetic comprising

• (A) an ultraviolet protectant;
• (B) a polyhydric alcohol having an IOB value of 5.0 or lower;
• (C) an ester oil having an IOB value of 0.3 or higher, and
• (D) polyoxyalkylene/polyoxyethylene copolymer dialkyl ether represented by the following formula (II):
• R1O—[(AO)m(EO)n]—R2 (II)
• wherein R1 and R2, each independently, denote a hydrocarbon group having one to four carbon atoms, AO denotes an oxyalkylene group having three or four carbon atoms, EO denotes an oxyethylene group, 1≤m≤70, 1≤n≤70 and m+n≤20,
• wherein when the (A) ultraviolet protectant comprises 4-tert-butyl-4′-methoxy dibenzoyl methane, a blended amount thereof is 10% by mass or less relative to a total amount of the (A) ultraviolet protectant, and
• wherein the (B) polyhydric alcohol is a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 150 to 23000, and
• wherein the cosmetic does not contain phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid,
• wherein the cosmetic does not contain ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate,
• wherein a blended amount of (B) polyhydric alcohol is 2.5 to 30% by mass,
• the emulsion cosmetic is a water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic, and
• wherein a thermal reaction rate of the emulsion cosmetic is at least 105%.
