COSMETIC HAVING ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT-ABSORBING FUNCTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a cosmetic not only without having a irritating property to a skin and excellent in feeling in use, but also effectively absorbing a wider wave length ultraviolet light including not only UVB but also UVA comparing with that of silk fine particles obtained from a domestic silkworm. SOLUTION: This cosmetic having an ultraviolet light-absorbing function contains silk fine particles obtained by pulverizing a silk fiber produced by a wild silkworm to >=1μm and <=100μm particle diameter. It is preferable to contain in addition to the silk fine particles having an ultraviolet light- absorbing function, an organic-based ultraviolet light-absorbing agent and/or inorganic-based ultraviolet light-absorbing agent.
