Abstract
A solid o/w-type cosmetic composition, a process for molding it, and a container used for aqueous-type solid cosmetics. The cosmetic composition comprises (a) a water-soluble solidifying agent selected from agar and gelatin, (b) an oil component and (c) water, and optionally, (d) a powder or (e) a water-soluble adhesive. The composition has superior characteristics inherent in an o/w-type cosmetic, while providing excellent usability and portability. The molding process comprises applying a water-carrying sheet material to the surface of the composition before solidification and releasing it after solidification. The container for an aqueous-type solid cosmetic composition is characterized by having a water-absorbing material secured to a receptacle of the container.

A process for molding a solid cosmetic composition consisting essentially of an oil-in-water emulsion composition, which comprises,
- filling a heated cosmetic composition into a container,
- wherein said heated cosmetic composition consists essentially of:
- (a) a water-soluble solidifying agent selected from the group consisting of agar and gelatin,
- (b) an oil component, and
- (c) water,
- applying a water-carrying sheet material carrying water therein to a surface of the heated cosmetic composition before solidification by subsequent cooling,
- solidifying the heated cosmetic composition having said water-carrying sheet material thereon by cooling, and then
- releasing said water-carrying sheet material,
- to thereby expose an inside texture of the composition at the surface and produce a minute irregular non-continuous surface layer promoting ease of application of the solid cosmetic composition.
