PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oil dispersion of minute capsules capable of encapsulating water and/or hydrophilic matter which thus enables safely compounding and keeping a hydrophilic matter in an oily component, an oil dispersion of encapsulated minute capsules which can be prepared by encapsulating water and hydrophilic matter in the minute capsules of the oily dispersion, and cosmetics containing these oil dispersions.SOLUTION: This oil dispersion of minute capsules is made by dispersing minute capsules, which are prepared by removing encapsulated water from the minute capsule having a water permeable film and encapsulating water within the film, in an oil. This oily matter dispersion of encapsulated minute capsules is prepared by encapsulating water and hydrophilic matter in the minute capsules in the oil dispersion. This cosmetics contains these oil dispersions.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】親水性物質を、油性成分中へ安定的に配合し保持することを可能とする、水及び/又は親水性物質の内包が可能な微小カプセルの油性物質分散液、該微小カプセルの油性物質分散液に、水や親水性物質を内包させて得られる内包済微小カプセルの油性物質分散液、及びこれらの油性物質分散液を含有する化粧料を提供する。【解決手段】水が透過可能な壁膜を有し、該壁膜内に水を内包する微小カプセルより、内包水を除去して得られる微小カプセルを、油性物質中に分散してなることを特徴とする微小カプセルの油性物質分散液、該微小カプセルの油性物質分散液に、水や親水性物質を内包させて得られる内包済微小カプセルの油性物質分散液、及びこれらの油性物質分散液を含有する化粧料。【選択図】 なし
