PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such problems that a phenomenon of viscosity rise and fluidity decrease happens upon melt filling, and poor spread of a melting cosmetic in a container results in traces of a nozzle and unevenness of filling after solidification, and thus to provide a water-in-oil type solid cosmetic excellent in uniformity of a coated film and strength after filling, cooling and solidifying.SOLUTION: A water-in-oil type solid cosmetic includes solid wax having a melting point of 75°C or higher, by combining a specific dextrin fatty acid ester with a nonvolatile diester oil and/or a triester oil.
