OILY SOLID COSMETIC

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prepare an oily solid cosmetic by solving the problems of both good molding property as well as shape-keeping strength and removing property on its use, in the conventional oily solid cosmetic using a petroleum-based or plant-based solid wax, without damaging use feeling and gloss on its application. SOLUTION: This oily solid cosmetic is characterized by containing a candelilla wax having ≥76°C and ≤84°C range melting point. Preferably, the oily solid cosmetic is characterized by containing the candelilla wax having ≥77°C and ≤85°C range melting point and containing ≥25 % and ≤52 % un-saponified substance. Further, the oily solid cosmetic is characterized by containing the candelilla wax having ≥76°C and ≤84°C range melting point, containing ≥25 % and ≤52 % un-saponified substance and exhibiting ≥75 and ≤100 saponification value.
